The Glorious Return!

Hiya Everyone! It's been an awful long time since I did one of these, so apologies if you've been hanging by the edge of your seats since then. I've been rather busy with work (unfortunately) and some other pursuits, and that has shockingly left little time for discerning beer tasting. However, I that'll change starting this week, as I am finally back with a new entry for Younge's Beer Review. This week, the bitchin' Brew i'm samping is none other than Eye of the Hawk, from the Mendocino Brewing company.

A Strong Ale by name, it packs a pretty punch too. @ 8% ABV, this isn't a Beer to binge on. I'd recommend as a dinner accoutrement, although it's not bad on it's own. Upon pouring, in wafts a pungent combination of honey and copper, soon to be followed by a full, foamy head. That's nearly enough to make a decent beer already, but the taste is simply superb. A palate-cleansing bittersweet flavor treats the drinker right off the bat, with a lightly hoppy finish to keep you wanting more. The head lasts for some time during drinking, which is always a good sign of quality. Lastly, a honey Amber color in your glass gives the perfect indication of what this Ale is all about: Sweet, dark, and strong. Overall, a fantastic creation for the folks upo in Mendocino, and an all around winner for any discerning occasion.

Score: 9/10

I do promise to get more of these in soon!
Happy Drinking!
