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.

Pours copper with a tall lasting head that slowly reduces to a thick clump of cream. Aromas of dusty hops and malted caramel. Full nectar with creamy carbonation. A fat caramel malted backbone absorbs the high hop reverberation providing the appropriate balancing act. The finish linger long and mildly sweet. This brew is a rich and warming.

Bomber. Poured translucent medium orange with a short, well-retained whitish head and sticky lacing. The aroma picked up slightly-oxidzed grapefruit meat over floral notes and a toffee-inspired sweet base.. maybe a hair past its prime, but well-composed. The flavor found pale malts and toffee supporting floral, pine, and juicy grapefruit bitterness.. finished with stronger fruity and boozy warmth. Medium-bodied on the palate with scratchy bitterness throughout.. thicker feel on the finish.. quite solid overall.

Amber pour, hazy, fluffy white head, and decent lace. Hoppy aroma. Big hoppy flavor not enough sweet malts to balance the IBUs

Bottle, 6.6%. Quite malty aroma, some caramelly hops. Hazy dark amber colour. Quite caramelly hop flavour, teaish. Some alcohol. The hops are quite rough on my throat but still nice.

Poured from a 22-oz bottle a copper color with a nice foamy head. Lacing was really strong on this beer. Aroma of citrus and piney hops. Nice hop taste, as expected, but thought it also had a nice biscuit malt taste in the back that really balanced the beer.

22 oz, bottle from Greenwood Gourmet Grocery near Crozet, VA. Label states 6.6% abv. Reddish brown pour with a 2-finger head. Decent retention and good lacing. Aroma is brown-sugary malts with citrus and leafy hops. Taste is toffee, raisings and a very wet hop taste. This is nice.
