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 in pint glass. Reddish amber with flat ring. Woody fruity caramel bandaids aroma. Very fruity cherry cough syrup with caramel and wood with long fruity finish. Medium body. Gross and sweet and missing something in the middle. I know it’s a little aged but, jesus. Gross.

Pours deep amber into a shaker. Head quickly recedes to skim surface and hug rim. Caramel aromas. Full with sweet caramel upfront. Lasting slight hop finish.
