Mendocino Brewery Eye of the Hawk Ale

  Mendocino Brewery brings us the Eye of the Hawk,a fairly full flavoured beer Other reviews on this beer will tell you about its lacing, its head, its body, but to me flavour is king. This I would say was a lady in waiting in the royal court, but not royalty. Still, well worth drinking. Not, as one review described it, something that they poured the rest of away. What a waste. Well, here is the official word, so until I taste again I bid you peace.

  Eye of the Hawk is an excellent, rich bodied ale that is brewed 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. Eye of the Hawk has garnered a cult following that is enviable.
