Hop Warrior poured a dark copper color with a finger width, off white head.  The aroma is malty with some noticable sweetness.  The body is thick, with a malt backbone and a little sugary up front.  There are some floral hops before the sweetness dries out leaving clean, bitter, hoppy finish. and a prolonged lingering dryness.  The glass was coated with lace.  Overall, this is a really nice under the rader beer from a small brewer.  It has a big sturdy backbone and the sugar blances out the 100+ IBUs nicely. This is a great sipping beer.

The ultimate resource for beer drinkers!
