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 a dark copper...mild malty and floral almost candy-like malts...thin layering of resting foam...initial sip is good, nice hops but there is no finish , no backbone...a very simple and un-balanced IPA

22oz. Poured a reddish orange color. Aroma is sweet as sugar and orange. Taste is hoppy with a very sweet finish.

The aroma is hoppy (as expected) with a lightly toasted malt, herbs, and soap. The appearance is dark amber with a foamy two finger head. It’s also cloudy with floating particles that do not belong in this style. The flavor is like the aroma with hops, toasted malt, and a wee bit of soap. The palate is unremarkable. The finish is relatively short. This is a good beer but not a great beer.

22oz bomber. Pours amber with good sized just off white head. Aroma of pine, citris, floral and malt. Taste is grass, pine, a bit of grapefruit and malt. Clean and dry to start with a bit of bitterness in the end. Nice easy drinker. Just a bit thin on the palette. I bet this is really good fresh.

Bomber. Poured amber in the glass with a large frothy off-white head that left behind good lacing. Very carbonated looking. The aroma was citrus, floral, and malts with a hint of some earth tones. The flavor had a nice balance of grapefruit, pine, and a caramel background. Medium body and dry. Lively carbonation at first. Comfortable bitterness throughout.

Tasted at Pianeta birra in Rimini in Feb.07,with the brewer himself. A bright apricot-sunset colour, with a fine medium white head. Citrus, herbal, floral, pine amazing aroma. Fantastic dry and bitter finish, but very balanced with malt and some yellow fruit hints. Very drinkable, help me found this beer in Italy!!!

Pours a deep orange with a thick pillowy white head. The aroma is strong with citrus and flowery hops, but there is a sweet malt tinge to the aroma. The flavor starts dry and bitter on the tongue. The flavor is firm with malts, but even firmer on hops - abundant pine and citrus notes. The citrus not of the hops is reminiscent of bitter orange peel or lemon zest. The finish is bittersweet and a little dry. The after-taste is full of hops. Overall, a well balanced beer that hop-heads will enjoy.

The aroma might be slight, but it smells terrific; earthy and grassy. Flavor is of a fairly ordinary IPA, aside from a dry bitter finish that is hoppier than the initial sip.
