Hey Red, it is a very nice bittering hop. You are set for years on bittering hops!

I've only used Warrior for bittering. No idea if it gives any flavour if added later.
Man, two pounds would last me forever.

what's its best bittering use - I'm assuming IPA's, pales, ambers? and not continental lagers...

I've tried at least one all warrior hop beer and recall liking it. It's a lot of pine and some citrus fruit. Like nugget, it isn't an overwhelming flavor unless you use a lot.
I've seen it in blends with the four Cs.

I use it to bitter. It gives a nice clean, smooth bitterness.

I've used it for bittering, flavor and aroma, all the way through. It has a certain orange and pine character that I find pleasant. It's good in American ales and IPAs. Probably great in Belgians as well. I might not use it at the end for any English or German styles, but would probably be okay for bittering those.

I use it to bitter IPAs, pale ales, and a blonde I brew. I also brew a hoppy red ale that has a 20 minute Warrior addition. Concur with the others on pine and citrus for the flavor/aroma. It's one of my favorite hops.

I don't find Warrior to be particularly pleasant for late additions. I do use it for bittering in IPAs. To each their own.

Although it has high alpha acids, it's low in cohumulone, so it is a smooth bittering hop. I've used it to bitter many different styles, with good results. I've solely used it for bittering, so I can't comment on flavor/aroma.

A local brewery had an all warrior IPA on tap that I tried. Not bad, but definitely not as interesting or flavorful as most IPA's.
