3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Mendocino White Hawk Original IPA has a medium, creamy and cream-colored head, and a hazy, yellow-orange appearance, with decent lacing. The aroma is of orange peel, water, some barley malt, and a bit of hop sting. Taste is of dank citrus, slightly turned fruit, mustiness, malt, bread, and there is a subdued hop bitterness with this. Mouthfeel is medium, and White Hawk IPA finishes semi-dry and ragged. Overall, this is unrefined, yet solidly good. RJT

Hazy gold/orange colored beer with a slightly off-white head. Aromas of tropical fruit, and kitty litter funk. Taste is of floral hops mixed with spruce, and fresh cut grass. Ends on a semi-sweet hop/fruit note, maybe some mango? Not over hopped like other IPAs out there, and the malts balance the hops perfectly. Very tasty.

Beautiful amber color. Nutty floral smell. Hoppy, bitter, with a caramel sweetness. Pleasant overall. 7% alcohol is nice, I wouldn’t mind even more alcohol in this beer.
