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.

Swamp-water bottle pour. Small white head, decent lacing. Lemony aroma with other citrus notes and a resin-hop background. Strong floral, resin hop flavor and an underlying sweet citrus profile. Good stuff. Thanks to thedm and hotstuff for sharing.

Bottle. Pours a hazy amber color with a longlasting off-white head. Malty floral hoppy aroma. Sweet malty slightly bitter hoppy flavor with grapefruit hints. Fruity malty finish with a long bitter aftertaste.

Love those Yakima hops! Good beer and nice finish. Bright orange color and epic proportions of hops and malts.

A 1.5X IPA, with extra bitterness and malting. Good drinkability and fix for hop heads. Citrus taste. Above average carbonation. Attractive citrus orange colour with some white head. Above average for style.

Bomber bottle and served in standard pint glass: poured a slightly hazed amber hue with a beautiful fluffy white head and left outstanding rings of lace upon the glass. The nose shows a combination of citric and piney hop with a biscuity pale malt background and just a hint of white pepper. The taste is rather straight-forward but in this case that is a good thing for the hop versus malt balance is very good allowing the beer to be quite refreshing and interesting without being a hop bomb or something too sweet. NICE!

Three of the last four Left Hand beers I have had have been very good, I hope this is a sign of more good things to come.

Bottled at Akkurat, Stockholm. Clear amber, dense firm head. Evident grapefruit aroma. Dry with clean mouthfeel and medium body. Really hoppy, though neither the aroma or the bitterness is striking. A solid IPA, but it doesn’t break any new ground, or possess something that distinguishes it from other examples of the style.

Warm golden with a nice, creamy head. The aroma is sweetish and hoppy with fruity and citrussy hops. The flavour is sweetish and has a nice caramel base with nice, fruity and hoppy notes of sweet citrus, resin and a nice bitterness, that has quite a lot of grapefruit towards the end. 2383

Bottled. Pale amber colour, with good steady head. Light sweet malty with te-like hops. Is this warrior? I am not yet familiar with Warrior. Also a bit citric here. Mandariney hoppy backbone in flavour with solidly balanced malt sweetness, and a pretty early salty bitterness that lingers.
