The hops are bitter for sure but with a less pronounced finish than the Warrior as well. In all honesty, in a blind tasting I might call this one the regular and the Warrior the double! baggio (199), norrtälje, Sweden

Apperance: Golden-orange with a decent sized head that leaves some lacing on the glass.
Aroma: Tropical fruit, Citric notes, Bread and Hops.
Flavor: Caramel, Orange, Exotic fruits, Honey, Pine.
Palate: Quite thick on the palate. Plenty of malt in this brew so it feels quite balanced at first but a certain bitterness kicks in at the end. Plenty of carbonation.
A very balanced dipa and even though i’d wished for some more hops this was damn good. Wouldn’t recommend it to all hopheads out there tho.

Pours a hazy orange with a delicious fluffy white head. Aroma of malt, caramel, hops, pine. Flavor is caramel, malt, pineapple, a bitter hop finish. Fairly sweet but still a pretty good IIPA. MrBunn (1561), Western, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jan 6, 2009 Bottle. Pours a hazy orange with a small but dense head. Aromas are of caramel, caramel and cookie dough. Flavor is pleasant at the beginning of the bottle, but becomes a little cloying after 22 oz. Caramel and sweet malt dominate, with a bit of pineapple and pine hops rounding things out. Still, the hops are not quite dominant enough and this beer needs (IMO) to be a little crisper. Mouthfeel is rather chewy. Butters (1653), Virginia, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 5, 2009 Sampled at the Second Cellar Reduction. Clear orange amber pour with good white head that dissipates. Nose is a near perfect marriage of honey and hops. Piney hop bitterness pervades the flavor, honey, young complexity of hops. Extremely bitter citrus pine finish. Possibly the highlight of the night.
