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.

22oz bottle (thanks to Jrob_21) poured a clear copper color with a nice off white head. Aroma was floral citrus hops with sweet caramel and some grapefruit tones. Taste was very well balanced with a good hop and malt profile. Easily the best fresh hop beer I have had.

Pours a hazy copper color with a tall, bubbly white head that sticks to the glass very nicely. Aroma has a strong caramel, mild bourbon note, strong bitterness with mild notes of citrus and light floral. Flavor has a strong orange citrus, a smooth caramel sweetness, a very unique hop bitterness that has a flavor reminiscent of vanilla. Body is modest but with a crisp feeling and very low carbonation gives it a very creamy feeling. Overall a good brew with a very unique hoppiness from the single hop type used. The extreme bitterness with the solid sweet malty notes really makes this brew work very well.

Pours orangey clear dark amber with decent of-white head htat leaves sticky lace and disappears quickly. Very weak aroma of sweet citrussy and slightly flowery hops. Medium mouthfeel with medium carbonation. Mild citrus bite to start, then piney and grapefruit hop bitterness in the finish that lasts. Alcohol is a little peppery. Not bad, but not very complex.

Opaque amber with a thin white head with big speckled bubbles. Aroma is sweet with caramel malts, and rather unagressive citrusy hops. Taste has a bit of grass, with bitterness primarily as a sensation without much hop character. Bready malt shows up halfway into a pretty clean finish. $6/22oz

A Mes rate. Bottle at home with Mario and Warren.
Amber gold with a decent white head. Slightly resinous and herbal on the nose. Not particularly assertive, but sometimes that’s a good thing. Nice and cheesey hoppage in the mouth. Good citric notes, nicely resinous and a decent clean bitter finish. Not challenging in anyway, just a straight forward, innocent and enjoyable fresh hoppy beer. Good stuff.
