The hops in this beer (predominately of the Cascade variety) are 100% estate grown and harvested by Anderson Valley Brewing Company. The herbal, hoppy aromas hide hints of pine and garden-fresh green vegetable. The flavor has a crisp, hop bitterness supported by a light, bready malt backbone with undertones of toasted bagel. Although the bitterness is fairly high (estimated in the 40 – 60 IBU range), the lean body and clean hop flavors giving this beer a high drinkability.

Out of a bottle. Lots of herb and funky vegetable on the nose. Pours a light dusted gold that is clear. Taste is herbaceous with bitter finish. Some earth as well.

Draft at Imbibe Wine (listed as Mendonesia on the tap handle that came from AV) Nose is Citrus, grapefruit, buscuity yeast, and a hint of pine. Murky yellow with an orange tinge and a big, heavy lacing pale yellow head. Flavor is bitter, white bread, and a hint of bubblegum and vanilla somewhere deep in the background.

Draft. Amber beer with an off-white head. Low grapefruit and pine aroma. Nice piney flavor with malt backing, grapefruit, and earth. Definite wet hop flavor. Medium bodied. Pine and grapefruit linger with malt and a light earthiness.
