Evan Burck >> The warrior beer was good, but not AWESOME. I learned how "clean" warrior is. There was a hint of floral citrus in the taste, but considering all the bittering came from "hopbursting," I expected a lot more. In summary, clean, very clean. I get more flavor goodness from Cascade. I would use warrior again, but as a bittering hop only in a big beer.
