Mendocino Red Tail Ale

When I first decided that Amber Ales were going to be one of my favorite beers, I went on a search for some favorites. It didn't take me long to find Mendocino Brewing Company's Red Tail Ale. To this day, the Red Tail Ale is still one of my favorites. 

From the bottle:

Red Tail Ale, naturally brewed in the traditional style, is a full flavored amber ale.  Red Tail Ale has a lasting character created by a blend of Pale and Caramel malted barley and is balanced to a slightly dry finish with whole hops. Red Tail Ale has delighted fine ale drinkers and is legendary for it's crisp, clean flavor.

Mendocino Brewing Company has added a Red Tail Lager to their line-up as well, but I haven't been able to try that one yet.  I'm gonna have to keep my eyes peeled for this one because I haven't seen it locally.  I'm going to make another run to the World Market sometime during the next few days to pick up another assorted six-pack for sampling and maybe they will have it.  I got the Red Tail Ale there but I don't recall seeing the lager or I would have certainly grabbed it...
