Commercial Description:
Brewed only once a year with fresh hops hand-picked in Longmont, CO and Warrior hops straight off the vine from Yakima, WA.
Warrior is brewed using a unique style called “Wet Hopping,” which requires only hops that are no more than a day from the vine. “Wet Hopping” imparts only a mild aroma, but an exceptionally fresh unfiltered hop flavor.

Bottle. Pours golden orange with an off white head. Earthy, floral hop aroma, with some caramel malt. The flavor has floral and earthy hops, maybe a hint of citrus, and sweet crystal malt. Decent balance and easy drinking.

Pours a dark hazy copper with a thick light tan head. Caramel malt and earthy hop aroma. Taste is smooth crisp caramel malt with a nice bitter grapefruit earthy hop bite. Finishes with a nice citrus bitterness.

22 ounce bottle with a cowskull label. Orange pour raises a one-finger, very stable head; the thick, smooth foam paints the glass with lace. Resiny, rubbery nose, supported by milky, juniper berries, and stogie smoke. Tastes pretty much identical to the aroma- rubber, milk/chalky liquid antacid, ash- plus the peachy grapefruit flavor of Warrior hops. Muddy finish. Palate: thick. Although pleasantly bitter, the atertaste features an unappealing coppery tang. I could overlook a quirk or two, but this beer is so rife with nastiness that it’s like drinking a glass of squirming live bugs. This is the beer you’re forced to drink in hell. Pure torture.

22 oz bomber. Aroma was unremarkable. Poured a lightly cloudy copper with a tiny white head. Flavor was mildly hoppy and very smooth, overall a very drinkable IPA.

Bottle. Pours a murky amber color with a large, frothy off-white head. Lacing is good. Aromas of grapefruit, pine, and a bit of malts. Smooth initial feel that quickly becomes lively, then smooth again down the throat. Flavors of hops and more hops, although it is a bit thin compared to the aromas.

Clear Amber pour with a big, big, poofy offwhite head that held its shape for a long while. Smell was billowing out of the glass with spicy green fresh, peppery and candy sweet hops. Fantastic aroma. Taste was very "green", fresh, and spicy hops. Nicely bitter and very nicely hopped. A touch thin body, but otherwise a fantastic fresh hopped beer and one I’d definitely recommend

Poured from bottle. Be careful when opening - overflow alert!! Aroma of hops, cream and ocean. Amber, persistent tan head. Hop flavor is fresh and lively. Lot of lacing. Grapefruit in the aftertaste. Quite enjoyable.
