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.

Bottle. orange brown color. Fresh grapefruit and red berries in the aroma. Firm oily hopbitter flavor. Grassy with some grapefruit notes. Long oily hopbitter aftertaste. Fairly well balanced, in spite of the huge hopbitterness.

Draught @ Albion. Clear dark orange with small frothy off-white head, very faint malt aroma, low carbonation, bitter lemon peel taste, long bitter finish. Very much citrus dominated.

Best by 01/13/2016.
This was poured into a nonic pint glass.
The appearance was a burnt amber color with a light transparency about it. A one finger white to off white foamy head started and dissipated within less than about a minute and a half. Lacing was fairly thick.
The smell had bitter and sweet pine. Bitter citrus starts to come out every so slyly as it warms.
The taste was mainly bitter pine with a light underscore bitter citrus. Sweetness trying to move in subtly. Dry piney aftertaste leads to a dry finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium in body. Sessionable sticky resinous pine clings to my tongue in a slight harsh way. Carbonation felt fine as an AIPA.
Overall, this was a pretty good AIPA that I could have again.

Deep amber color. Very spicy hoppy nose with some faint caramel. Medium body, with warrior hops coming through brightly. Nice lingering hoppy finish.

Bottle thanks to stephrocks shared at Anchorage Apr ’15 Tasting: Poured copper with a white head. Light aroma of hops and malt. Taste is more malty than hoppy, this might have been past it prime.

Poured from a bottle it is a clear golden color with a slight head. The aromais is citrus and the taste is a bitter flavor which turns into a familiar citrusy ending that lingers on the palate
