The flagship ship of Mendocino Brewing Company was drinkable but it didn't really do anything for me. Red Tail Ale poured a amber color and smelled sweet and malty. The malts dominated the watery flavor with a touch of citrusy hops. This malt flavor had a muddy washed out taste with a bit of caramel, reminiscent of ice tea.

Like I said, this beer is drinkable. It just doesn't have much of the flavors I like, and the the flavors that are there seemed a bit off to me.
