ABV: 10.5%

RATING
86
A slight reddish hue makes this tawny ale something beautiful to behold. Much like an old ale from England, this beer starts malty and rich. Sweet honey flavors add a simple but incredibly enjoyable cover to the strong alcohol hidden in the background. Very creamy and well-balanced, Talon smoothly transitions from a powerfully malty beginning to an equally strong hoppy finish. Mendocino makes this beer year-round, but it's perfect for the cooler months, so keep your eyes peeled for it this fall.
