Commercial Description:
Eye of the Hawk is an excellent, strong, rich bodied ale that is "Bottle Conditioned" to perfection. "Eye" is coppery reddish-amber in color and its unique taste is the result of a judicious mix of caramel and pale malted barley, balanced with Cluster, Cascade and Saaz hops. This gives the Eye its luxurious flavor, substantial mouth-feel and that slightly dry finish.

Copper-orange body with a small significant whitish head. Nose of herbal malts and slightly prominent hops. Boozy, but somehow balanced. Rich, full mouth feel. Nice malty potent NW brew.

Sweet and malty in both aroma and flavor. Amberish in color. Pleasantly malty and drinkable. Did not know that it had this much alcohol in it.

Pours copper with little head. Aroma is sweet malt. Taste of caramel and some warmth with something else that I can’t put my finger on.

Reddish hue, very nice malt taste with a fairly well match set of hops to go with it. Quite reasonable.
