Left Hand Warrior IPA

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.

3.7 3/7/2008 2:44:55 PM Bottle from Bier Koning. Dark orange colour, fuzzy head. Hoppy and citrus nose. Very spicy and hoppy taste. Quite bitter. Some caramel in the taste. Really nice but almost too much bitterness that won’t go away.

3.4 Bomber->shaker. Brite dark copper with moderate offwhite head. A: pine hops over caramel malt, honey. T: very bitter pine and floral hops, sweet caramel malt, lite spice. Very sharp, with lingering bittersweet finish. Decent.

3.5 This had some age but the piney hop aroma was still good. Average weight with a drop down in the carbonation. Color was a metallic gold. Strong harshness that was evenly balanced by caramel malts.

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

3.9 Amber color, not much head.. Hoppy with a nice bitter after taste that lingers on the palet.

2.9 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.

3.9 Bomber from CBB. Clear amber with very little head. Resin and citrus hop aroma. Flavour starts all pine and resin, then gives way to a nice fresh citrus finish.

3.6 Tap at AQ Bevolution 2nd Anniversary event at Yellow Ape Craft. Sweet malty nose. Reddish/orange color. Malty initial, hoppping buzzes up and cuts through the caramel, balances in late mid and final. Interesting IPA variant with the color and thick malt. Very nice mid-palate jumps of bitterness.
