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.

Pours a medium gold that is clear with a large white head. There is a faint aroma of malt but not much else. The taste is sweet and there’s not much else I can say about it. Pretty average.

Bottle.Pours amber with a small white head. Light hop aroma with citrus, fruit, floral and notes of caramel. Flavor is moderatly sweet with toasted caramel malts, grain, toffee, and light alcohol with a hint of bitterness in the finish.

Bottle. Pours a light hazy golf with a one finger creamy white head and ok lacing. Nose is light citrus hops and sweet malt. Taste is malt, honey and a very light hop finish with a touch of alcohol burn on the backend. Medium mouth feel. Pretty boring.

Didn’t really like the aftertaste. A tad too sweet. Not very strong for an IPA.

Hoppy and bitter, highly carbonated, aftertaste is slightly spicy. Some raisin?
