I believe this is a single hopped pale with warrior. Had it at the brewery.

Clear gold in color. White head.

Aroma is dank and hoppy. A lot of pine and grapefruit citrus. A bready malt backbone.

Pretty sticky. Ends with a hop resiny aftertaste.

Overall, this was a really nice pale. Very fresh and hoppy.
Definitely worth a try.

Just talked to the brewer on this one and the abv is 5.5%

Strong hop flavoring, very citrousey, without an over-abundance of bittering. Supposedly an homage to Sierra Nevada as the 'Father of Craft Beer'. They missed out on their chance for some sweet pun action by not using any Warrior hops though (3 different hop varietals used). A very crisp pale, I think they did a good job of keeping the bitterness down enough so you could taste the malt, but not really my cup of tea for a session.

On tap at Nobi Public House in Webster, Texas.. served in a pint glass.

Karbach says this is a seasonal... not sure if spring or summer... guessing spring since it is out now...

This is a super refreshing easy to drink beer... I could see this becoming my main session beer... so good...

In Texas if this is going to be seasonal it should be from January to October... as we have plenty of hot days in the months within...

Well done Karbach... well done again.

On tap at the Sugar Land Flying Saucer Tap takeover and the Hay Merchant takeover in Houston.

A: Pours a pale, clear orange color. A two finger white head forms and gently recedes in a minute. Light lace is left behind.
S: A big dank hoppy aroma up front. Citrus, floral, a big piny resinous aroma. Lingering grapefruit. A very light malty backbone, but overpowered by the lingering bitterness.
T: Follows the nose. Big dank hops that are resinous and piny. A light biscuit/bread flavor. Though grapefruit bitterness overpowers and lingers on forever.
M/D: A medium body and carbonation. Crisp and mostly dry with a bit of sweetness that pop up here and there. Not hard to drink, but the bitterness is a bit much for me. That makes it something I am not going to come back to very often.

Personally, I think this is a good Sierra Nevada clone. Plenty of dry hops, bitterness, and bready background. Though not something that really appeals to me. IMO Karback does much better.
