You can also catch a Warrior IPA from Lefthand still on store shelves. I guess I'm a sucker for that one. Some day I'll ask that Haug guy why he picked the hops he did...there's some method to his madness. Town Hall also did a Warrior IPA in the summer of 2006 that I loved.

Ahtanum reminds me of Cascade. I've never drank it in a single-hop beer. I did an all Warrior pale ale a while back and didn't care for it. I'd be willing to bet that it's either the Simcoe (some people don't like it, but I dig it) or the Warrior that's throwing you off... Town Hall has an all-Simcoe pale ale on right now.
