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 as shown. Pours a clear orange/copper with a medium frothy off white head that leaves behind good sticky lacing along the glass. The aroma is very hoppy with floral, caramel, and grapefruit. The taste is a crisp hop with a bitter grapefruit finish. Easy to drink, a very good IPA from Left Hand.

Bottle. Pours with a large, creamy off-white head that stays the whole time covering a clear penny hued body. Aroma is fresh, pungent, warrior hops, melon, caramel, toffee. Taste is full of caramel malts with a bit of sticky, slightly herbal hops on the finish. Water like mouthfeel, lively carbonation.

Bottle from Liquor Max. Copper color with a frothy off-white head. Aroma is light fruit. Quite like an ESB. Body is medium; carbonation is lightly frothy. Flavor is roasted caramel and light fruits. Like a super ESB. Finish is more floral than other. Quite tasty. Get it if you can. Really hoppy.

tap at OTH. Pours orange - amber with white head. Aroma is hoppy, malty with fruits - citrus and grapefruit. Taste herbal - pine hops, lightly fruity - orange - grapefruit. Very smooth with the hops that remain in the background and not too bitter. Finish is hoppy as well with notes of fruits. As the beer warmed up the malts became more pronounced giving an almost nutty aroma and taste.

Bomber. Pours a sort of brownish orange, although I’m committing high treason and pouring into plastic, so my color gauge may be a little off. Head is medium-sized and aromas are demonstrate some aggressive hops: pine and grapefruit with an almost pitch-like resin presence. (Smells pretty serious, but aromas are still kind of weak). Flavor is much more interesting... it’s a stronger version of the hops flavors mentioned above and a bit of a malt flavor that seemed a little darker than I seen in most IPA’s.

Bottle, 6.6%. Quite malty aroma, some caramelly hops. Hazy dark amber colour. Quite caramelly hop flavour, teaish. Some alcohol. The hops are quite rough on my throat but still nice.

22 oz, bottle from Greenwood Gourmet Grocery near Crozet, VA. Label states 6.6% abv. Reddish brown pour with a 2-finger head. Decent retention and good lacing. Aroma is brown-sugary malts with citrus and leafy hops. Taste is toffee, raisings and a very wet hop taste. This is nice.

Pours clear amber with off white head. Citrusy aroma. Mild hop flavor balanced with sweet malt. Medium body with average carbonation. An average IPA. Not bad, but for less money I’ll take a SN Southern Hemisphere Harvest Fresh Hop Ale over this any day for a fresh hop ale.
