On tap at the brewery. Pours a clear copper color with a medium white head. A light biscuit and earthy hop nose. The flavor is clean and light: light bitterness, fruity mellow hops, caramel. Nice.

35cl Bottle brought from Portland, as Blue Heron Pale Ale. Thanks H&T! Clear light amber colour, white head. Aroma of caramel, toffee, light dusty malts. Flavour is light sweet, caramel, light grainy, light bitter finish with some caramel. Light-bodied. Non-descript, easy going beer.

Shipped to me by my wife from a trip to Portland. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a cloudy caramel-amber color with a large orange-white head that produced some lacing. The aroma was crisp fruity and piney hops with a touch of sweetness. The flavor was tart, tangy and bitter with a dry nutty malt undertone and light lemony hops. The finish was fairly short. Medium body. Pleasant.

Cask at the Bridgeport Brewery Fruity, somewhat sour, with a peppery hop finish. Citrus and piney hop aroma. Not very flavorful, and the cask version lacks spunk and crispness.
