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.

An orange beer with a dying beige head. The aroma is sweet hoppy with loads of caramel. The flavor is sweet with caramel being most dominant, but also a light touch of aroma hops, before a dry slightly grassy end sets in.

Bottled. Cloudy amber. Intense aroma of grapefruit, yeast and grass. Sweet and malt with dense mouthfeel. Full bodied with notes of banana. Really hoppy with bitter, mutky finish. East End Brewery, where I had this beer is a fantastic establishment. Not only that their house beer are ales from the local micro, but thay also import a good range of microbrews, mainly from USA and UK.

Hazy copper color. The aroma is light, fruity, with some toffee. Medium mouthfeel, malty; gets thinner at the end, and more warming (alcohol). Some sweetness and medium-high fruity bitterness. Doesn’t fly.
