Commercial Description:
Resinous hop character and bitterness balance the rich caramel malt base. We took it a step further and Amarillo dry hopped the brew to 45 IBUs, creating refreshing and savory hop flavors and aromas. Is it Red IPA? That’s your call.

Pours dark copper color with tan head. Malty aroma, hint of hops and some fruityness. Taste the same, malts have a bigger presence in the taste, but balances well with the malts. Nice introduction to Green Flash. Looking forward to trying more from this brewery.

Bottle: #2 from the IPA sample series with ramenen. This is an excellent brew, strong pine, grassy and resin flavors in a great red-amber color with nice malty lining. Most definitely a Red IPA!

355ml bottle (Hilpea Hauki, Helsinki) - shared with Janne and Mirjukka - thanks!
Rich red, tiny head. Very sweet caramelly aroma, sticky hops too. Very sticky american hoppy ale. Sweet, hoppy, nothing interesting at all.

Big hop presence teetering between the realms of Pale Ale and IPA. Dark copper body with a spritzy white head. Citrus and flowery aroma. Bitter and filling, heavy malt body to counter the puckering hops. Tasted very nice, typical of a hopped up ale. Overall a nice selection, but would get lost among the other great pale ales.

Wow. Toffee, toffee, and more toffee. I’m not sure that any big time amber ale fans will find any typical resemblance, but that’s a good thing on my planet. Looks gorgeous, all dressed up a beaut. Aroma and flavor are balanced beautifully with what had to put the continental USA into a barley shortage, and a fine ever present bittering hop. Exeptional, full, satisfying mouthfeel. This by some west coast standards could be called a barleywine (not my standards). Thank You Green Flash. 2009 12oz.
