The aroma is of an american IPA; hoppy, yeast, and oranges. The color is an unclear orange with no head. The flavor is hoppy and oranges. It is somewhat thin.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Pours a beautiful, clear amber with a creamy, off-white head leaving a neat lacework. Vaguely hoppy nose. Medium body with some with sweetish, caramelish malt. Dry, hoppy finish - but also in this Mendocino I really could use some more refinement in the hopping. It’s a bit raw. 270306

[Bottled at East End Brewery, Quarry Bay, Hong Kong] Hazy reddish amber, brief head. Aroma and flavour of roasty malt and grapefruity hops. Medium sweet with clean mouthfeel and obvious aromatic, roasty crystal malt character. Aromatic peachy finish with medium bitterness. Simplistic and ultra-American, but pretty good.

Copper color. Light malt aroma. Quite nice taste, malty and bitter, with dry caramel. A quite good Bitter, not boring.

I keep coming back to this one. It’s got the hops, but it’s also smooth and well-rounded.

Poured a medium and hazy amber color with a smaller sized off white head. Aromas of malts, caramel and citrus. Tastes of the same. Aromas and tastes on the lighter side. Starts out sweet with a very small bitter finish (not well balanced).
