| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 24, 2009 On tap at Beer Temple. Light hazy orange colour, white head. Aroma of strong hops, Brussels sprouts. Flavour is light malty, a bit of caramel, and a whole lot of bitterness. Some cabbage and sprouts qualities, which aren’t the finest. Medium bodied. bendybenbeer (17), Australia
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Dec 22, 2009 Whether this beer hasn’t travelled well, which, seeing as I live in Australia, is entirely possible, I couldn’t help but think that there may have been something a little wrong. Aroma slightly chemically. But through that, a certain pungency that can only be Warrior. Flavour is slightly malty, then a big whack of hop bitterness & flavour. Well, interesting idea. Would like to try it fresher, but not bad for a contract job. radiomgb (2070), Peterborough, Ontario, Canada

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 18, 2009 Bottle: Pale caramel, dirty and hazy, large frothy off-white head, clingy lacing. Nose is a bit sweeter than the Simcoe. Hoppy, citrusy, tangy, but sweeter. Sweet pixie stix like flavor on the tongue. Certainly has a hop aspect but its minor compared to the candied sweetness. Body and mouthfeel are moderate to full. Sweet citrusy finish. Almost more of a Pale Ale than an IPA given its lack of IPA like bitterness. Otherwise a sweet example of the style, entertaining, especially if you like your IPAs on the sweet side.
