BAM! AN EXTREME LEVEL OF BITTERNESS.

The bitterer, the better, right? Warrior is a fairly young high alpha hop from Yakima Chief Ranches. The mild aromatic quality of Warrior is piney, with notes of citrus and pineapple, and it can deliver a right-sized punch of bitterness without the rough edges. This propriety variety is characterized by high levels of alpha to create new and exciting extreme bitter beer styles, like the double IPA. Roy Farms is unearthing the potential of Warrior year after year to provide the consistency you want. You can be confident you’re purchasing the highest-quality Warrior hops directly from Roy Farms with our unwavering commitment to sustainable farming and growing practices, as well as 114 harvests under our belt.
