Nothing special about this beer. Sweet first taste that ends a little bitter. But not a stand out.

Light amber pour with a barely there head. Very sweet aroma with a tiny bit of citrus present. Dry mouthfeel with a taste of malts and a tiny bit of hop flavoring. Not so high on this one.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Smells faint hops, a little apple... But thats just my nose. Orange copper in color. Taste is up front bitter and toasty. This is very clean.

2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Golden with off-white head leaving lacing. Faint malt aroma. Slight hop bite but disappaites, minimal malt profile, slightly creamy. Nothing outstanding but a clean finish
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Pours a nice amber color with a three-quarters inch beige head that hangs around for a while. Aroma is a bit faint, and is of hops and floral hints. Flavor is not very hoppy at all, yet not too malty. Fruity flavor, some citrus. Overall, not a bad beer, but not bold (hoppy) enough to be classified as a pale ale, at least for me. Still, I like it. I’d like to pair this brew with shrimp scampi, garlic mashed potatoes and a spinach salad.

So who ripped off who with the blue heron pale ale idea-- Mendocino or Bridgeport? Hardly matters anyway. This pours a handsome bright orange amber, slightly hazy. Sweet caramel and apricot fruit in the aroma. Caramel, some apricot fruit, and a vegetal quality to the finish. Moderately bitter, light/medium bodied.
