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.

12 ounce bottle. Amber with a decent off white head. Hardly any aroma. Maybe some honey notes. Light spice. Sort of a low end IPA flavor. Thin. Not really all that fun to drink.

Amber-honey color, fair near-white sudsy head, a bit of lace. Aromas of malt, spice, strawberries, pineapple, caramel and a wisp of vanilla. Flavor is nice caramel malt, chocolate, brandy, grapefruit and a nice bit of floral hops. Good bitterness in the finish and aftertaste. Average palate, but doesn’t detract from an otherwise good ale.

Thanks papsoe. Golden amber with very little offwhite head. Malt, caramel, fruit and a bit of spice. Well balanced beer, but nothing more.

Bottled. Mostly clear, golden beer with an off-white head and some yeast-flakes. Alcohol, hops, sweetness and malt in the aroma. The flavor is sweet, with some alcohol, bitterness and fruits. Medium body and a finish with alcohol and hops. Well-balanced, pleasant beer. (061013)

12oz bottle. Deep amber hue with a ruby tint. Slight ring of white head. Sweet malty nose with a sweet cherry candy aroma. Medium bodied with a bitter, almost rye 7-Up zest. Lively and cocoa malty. Medium burn with a little heat. Little age worthy. Layered but with sharp flavor profiles. Not very rounded. Getting better as it warms. Solid. Strong but sweet.

Bright copper with little head. The nose reminded me of a barley wine with hints of sweet malt and brown sugar, alcohol, candy and fruit. The body is spritzy with a light hop bitterness and a touch of malt. Too sweet, not very drinkable.
