Deadliest Warrior

Brew Batch #40, Sinistral Warrior IPA goes head-to-head tonight against Left Hand's Warrior IPA. Website is currently down and awaiting new launch in Sept. 2010. Though it was kegged on 4/13 and is slowly running out of offering, this brew pours a deep amber with flattening foamy head. 7% made with Yakima, Centennial, Cascade and of Warrior at the end of the boil. This is perhaps my most favorite beer I have kegged...Enabler? Lest we forget the Cascade Ale offered on consignment by The Enabler. As the History Channel would say, armed with a fléchette and mace this one attacks the tastebuds. Upon pouring of LH's Warrior the color and head has a drastic difference, for LHWIPA there is a pronounced lighter strawlike color comparatively. Aroma is matched and finally taste... is bit more bitter? Not hoppy but "Whitbread" for those of you that have had it kind of bitter. Tally is up, and armed with only a leather shield and stone spewing slingshot, LHWIPA goes down.
