This is Gate 4 with Warrior Hops.

A - The body was a lighter shade of copper with some carbonation bubbles...a one finger head formed but fell into a wispy cap...it was white in color and finally became a solid ring...nice lacing was left behind

S - A very light nose...there was some citrus coming through along with some spicy hops as well...a grain bill was noticeable as well

T - When the beer is cold there is a light citrus flavor up front...it's not very strong but you can detect it...caramel sweetness things up in the middle...as the beer warms there is a more grainy presence coming through...the hops become spicy and earthy as it finishes...it pairs nicely with the bitterness

M - Medium bodied...nicely carbonated...the spiciness pairs well with the bitterness

O - I liked Gate 3 a lot better...this one is on par with the normal Seven Gates...the Warrior Hops show a bit of citrus before turning spicy in the finish

Serving type: on-tap
