Left Hand Warrior IPA

Brewed by Left Hand Brewing Co.
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Longmont, Colorado USA

amber color with a thick rocky head... light hop and malt aroma....clean start with a bitter finish...very drinkable

very dark amber pour with a small light cream colored head. big fresh hop smell with a small amount of pine as well. medium thickness and a little less hops than i was expecting. there is however quite a bit of carbonation and a very strong hop aftertaste.

650 ml. bomber bottle, fall 2007 release, sampled in a pint glass. L: Clear ruby orange with a substantial fluffy beige head, the head has a good deal of buoyancy from the active carbonation. A fair amount of sticky lace rings the glass. S: Tangerines, grapefruit, apricots and lemon juice, this has a nice hop fruitiness. Further whiffs reveal herbal leafs and spices, along with buttery caramel malts. F&T: Airy light moderate body with a softly firm creamy crispiness, finishing smoothly dry. Delectable sticky wet hop flavors, first is the citric juiciness and rind, finishing with an oily spruce from the Warrior hops. There are also tastes of fresh herbal leafs and stems, plus some mildly spicy bitterness. The pale malts play a supporting role to hops, adding Crystal malt sugariness and caramel to sweeten the sour citric hops. I found this seasonal IPA from Left Hand to be highly enjoyable, a pleasure to consume.

This bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a large sized head of foamy fine to large sized off-white colored bubbles that were long lasting and left behind a hazy typically carbonated dark orange brown colored body and a fair lacing. The strong aroma was hoppy. The mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish. The strong piny hop flavor contained notes of mild malt. A decent one that I would consider buying again.

22 oz bottle. Pours amber with a 2+ cm foamy offwhite head that is mostly diminishing. Aroma of citrus and something sweet, hint of pine. Flavor is initial balanced between sweet malts and harsh hops, and some grapefruit. Some lacing, light carbonation, light to medium body, and some hint of alcohol. Drinkable with a nice aftertaste.

Left Hand Brewing has a great stable of beers. This IPA was no exception. It was enjoyed at Capital Ale House in Richmond, VA. The once a year process for this IPA was a surprise. The wet hopping process produces a very smooth medium bodied ale. I want to learn more about this process. The color was deep amber with a white head. The alcohol was well concealed. I

Nice pour with a big fluffy white head on top of a darker orange/almost brown brew. Smell of Warrior hops is definitely there. Definitely one of the smoother IPAs that I’ve had. Finishes dry, which is nice.

draft at Ten Stone in Philadelphia on 1/18/08. extremely fresh.... wonderful wet hopped beer. the hops flow right out of the glass.... nice and unfiltered, huge fluffy head. thick full body over the palate and spicy on the top of the tongue. almost chewy hop tones, exceptional finish (if you like hops).
