Minneapolis Town Hall Brewery Luthius Single-hop Scottish Ale. Warrior is the single hop. I have no clue what a Luthius is.
(Town Hall no longer gives out lengthy descriptions of beers, and the menus don't say much, nor is this listed on their website anywhere, yet.)
Appearance: clear, amber hue, frothy chalk white head.
Aroma: soft, slightly sweet and malty, just enough hoppy…floral and fruity and lovely.
Taste: Mmm, hops are really coming through on the fore-front of this one. Fresh, zesty, and lively. Little citrus here, and there, in the flavor, a touch of pine. I've had plenty of beers with Warrior in them, but can't say for sure what their defining character is, but in here it's nothing but lovably fruity and just enough bitter.
Nice, soft malt backbone on this one, sweet and, I'll say it again, lovely, like the song says. normally, I don't like Scottish ales, but, normally, they don't use Warrior hops. This is one of the good ones.
