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 reddish color with a lacy head. It does smell like a fresh bin of hops. This tastes like I just bit into a fresh hop, unlike other fresh hop beers. The finish isn’t as lingering as I was expecting

Like the name says: “fresh hop” aroma...very pleasant, not overboard. Orange to light brown with good lacing. Somewhat over-hopped flavor, but not like some IPAs can be...a hint of sweetness. Good mouthfeel.

22 oz. Pours clear amber in color with a small but long lasting white head. Aroma is great, heavy resinous/fresh citrus with some pine. Taste is not as potent as the aroma, with a good deal of malty sweetness/caramel and hop character a bit more subdued. Still a moderate amount of leafy/herbal hop character. Full bodied for the abv and style- a nice beer, but I was hoping for more of a bright hop character than I got in this.

On draft at Cambridge Common. Good beer but not much different from other American IPA’s brewed by wonderful American craft brewers. Stood up well to spicy buffalo wings that I was eating, but is just like many others out there. Strong hop smack on the aroma and overpowering hop flavor that is not at all balanced in the overall drinking experience. I love the guys at Left Hand - I just usually find that there is little within this style to distinguish oneself. Thanks to the good folks at Cambridge Common for getting this one on draft.

0.65 l bottle at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Hazy amber color. Sweetish, honeyish and hoppy aroma with notes of lemon and black currant. Bittersweet and honeyish aroma with lemony-flowery hops, minerals and notes of black currant. Chewy mouthfeel.

22 oz Bottle-Memphis. Poured a viscous copper-amber with a shallow head. Nose had a citrus character with a faint hint of malt. Full bodied mouthfell with a slightly tart finish. This makes it incredibly easy to drink.

Pours a thick, cloudy orange color into the snifter with a big creamy white head. The scent was flowery, grapefruit and hops. A nice clean taste with big hops and slightly bitter finish with the warrior hops making themselves known. A very nice IPA.

Aroma of pineapple, lemon, orange and malt with some hints of caramel. Golden amber color with a foamy tan head. Flavor is grass, hay, hops, with some citrus and a bitter finish. Palate is lightly creamy to slighty watery with mild carbonation. Good IPA. Not overdone or overly intense.
