Mendocino: White Hawk IPA

Name: White Hawk IPA
Brewed In/Type: Saratoga Springs, NY / IPA
Bought at/Price Woodman's / $6.49 6 pack
Dennis: So far every beer from Mendocino has been very good. The only other one I've had is the Red Tail Ale so I really wanted to give this a shot. Real light smelling with a flowery hoppy scent this is a really good IPA. Clocking in at a respectable 7% abv and a very reasonable price this is certainly up there with the better IPA's you can get such as the Avery IPA only a little less bitter.
Jen: This is a light bodied, fuzzy IPA. It has a nice blend of hops. It is bitter from the start to finish and gives off a nice mild aroma. It says the it has a "bold malt flavor", but I am having trouble finding it. The hops mask most any other flavor in this brew. It isn't bad, but I would rather spend the extra 50 cents for Avery IPA.
Rating: 4 out of 5
