Left Hand Brewing Company Warrior IPA

This is a fall seasonal brewed once a year with fresh Colorado hops.  Left Hand is in Longmont, Colorado.

The beer pours a very pure, clear copper color.  The aroma is of light and airy fruit with some caramel and malt in the background.  This is not nearly as hoppy as I expected from a fresh hop IPA.  The hops and malt are pretty well balanced in the taste.  Their is caramel and some fruit with a bitter finish.  Nothing predominates, but while it is balanced, nothing really stands out much either.  This is a decent beer, but a poor fresh hop IPA.
