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.

22oz bottle. Definite wet hop aroma that’s beginning to fade just a tad. Caramel and toffee malt with a pine resin accent and a touch of citrus zest on the nose. Pours bright copper with a decently lasting white head leaving average spotty lacing. A surprising harmoniusness on the tongue. Wet hops are there along with the right amount of caramel and toffee to balance. Getting slightly old, but the "fresh hop" taste is not lost by any means. One of the better wet hop beers I’ve had. Smooth, creamy and medium bodied on the tongue. Finishes with a nice piny resin bite and some sweeter toffee.

650 ml. Clear orange-amber with a large lasting head. Big aroma of fresh cut green herbs, honey, and pine resin. Big flavor is more herb-citrus-resin than malt, but still a nice undercurrent of grainy malt flavor for balance. Near-medium body is pretty smooth, with a nice tingle and a dryish finish.

Bottle from Bier Koning. Dark orange colour, fuzzy head. Hoppy and citrus nose. Very spicy and hoppy taste. Quite bitter. Some caramel in the taste. Really nice but almost too much bitterness that won’t go away.

Pours copper-orange with a thin white head. Moderate citrus hop aroma. Flavor is full of juicy citrus hops, with some caramel malt backbone. The finish is slightly bitter. Very drinkable and well-balanced.

Pours nicely amber with big head that leaves lacings. First there is a hint of sweetness, caramell and citric fruity notes. Then there is bitterness, bitterness and more bitterness. It lasts for a while and is higly pleasant if you’re in the mood for it.

Pours orange/amber wit ha light off white head. Armoa is light citrus fruits, hops and a good caramel malt. Flavor was citrus hops and fruits with a good malt backing. Finishes with a bitter hop cirtus. I liked this IPA better than most I have tried so far. Thanks to whoever brought this to beer barons.

Pours a lightly hazy orange amber with a small off white head. Smells of hops, but with a big malt presence as well. Got a good dose of caramel with some grapefruit too. The flavor was more on the fruity side with the hops and citrus forming a nice combination. Nice balance to it, and a pretty easy drinking IPA. Light bitterness in the finish, but not a bad one in the aftertaste. Good IPA.
