My time management skills are terrible, but Gary's are even worse. Who will arrive first? Friends for our barbecue or Gary with groceries for said barbecue. At least the beer is already here!
Today I'm reviewing
Mendocino Brewing Company's Eye of the Hawk. It part of their Select Collection and for whatever reason, they're all named with hawk in the title. The label tells me this beer is a premium American classic from a pioneer brewing legend. Having started brewing in 1983, they have a pretty decent run in the world of craft brewing and I'll give them legend status.
The Eye of the Hawk -- an American style strong ale at 8% ABV -- poured a deep amber with a thin white head. It smells a little nutty and of malts. The flavor is mellow hops and malty
roundness. Kind of a nondescript beer flavor but crisp and satisfying.
Cheers! Now go pray the rain holds off...I want to do some outdoor drinking today!
