Commercial Description:
A full flavor, fine reddish hued color, and a clean light finish characterize Raptor Red Lager. First produced in July of 2003, Raptor Red is now packaged in 12oz. bottles, six-packs, and kegs. This lager has been produced to commemorate the twentieth anniversary of the brewery, and is named in honor of the Mendocino Brewing Company’s affiliation with birds of prey. Raptor Red Lager is a traditional red lager, brewed with Mendocino’s Lager yeast, 100% malted barley and using classic noble hops for finishing. Raptor Red Lager has a rich refreshing flavor with a smooth light feel and a crisp dry finish.

I like the name, the bottle design and the idea. The beer isn't too bad, it's drinkable and goes well with the appropriate food (fish tacos in my case). Overall it's a decent lager, if your in the mood.

Poured slightly reddish amber with a medium off-white head that diminished quickly, but left lacing and a ring of bubbles. Malty, slightly soapy aroma. Sweet and hoppy flavor with a hint of spice and a bitter finish. Mouthfeel is average, light-medium body with gentle carbonation.

Head is initially average sized, frothy, off-white, mostly lasting. Body is medium amber. Aroma is lightly malty (cookie), lightly hoppy (flowers). Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, moderately acidic, moderately bitter. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Sourness grows a bit in the finish, and the aroma isn't very assertive. Plain, average, boring.

Raptor Red pours a hazy copper with a nice head and good lacing. The aroma is continental hops and a somewhat sulfery yeast charecter. The flavor is a decent mix of sweet malt and sharp hop, on a dilute scale. The finish is rather astringent and sour, with some soap.

Clear orange color with a white head. Yucky vomit lager hops aroma. Flavor wasn't too bad. Faint flavors of pineapple and hops. Fairly thin feel, light carbonation.

Amber color with a medium off-white head. The aroma and flavor were uneventful...some hops (Saaz?), burnt bread, and charcoal. Medium thin feel. Boring.
