Green Flash Hop Head Red

Brewed by Green Flash Brewing Co.
Style: Amber Ale
Vista, California USA

Beautiful dark amber with a thick head. Woody aroma with a hint of grape. Citric flavour with a great variety of hoppy notes. The aftertaste is surprisingly aggresive for an IBU of "only" 45.

12oz bottle. pours amber with off white head. nose has citrus and caramel malts. flavor has an overwhelming citrus hop astringency that maked this tough to drink. perhaps fresh and on tap this is better.

Color is a deep hazy amber with a good bit of sediment floating around. Carbonation is good with a a nice tight off white head. Aroma is sweet with citrus hop tones. Taste is very citrusy. Starting with a medium body it goes down crisp with a citrus feel. Finish jumps right out with a big grapefruit flavor a hint of pine then a bold bitterness. After taste is a lingering citrus. It has no malt to so I dont think its much of an Amber Ale, more like an over hopped IPA. This one is just too citrusy for me, but still ok to drink.

Pours a hazy, dark, blood red color with a yellow, moderately full, creamy, pillowy head which is mostly lasting and leaving nice lace. Nose is APA- or IPA-like with so many hops; lots of floral, lots of resinous pine, ruby red grapefruit, a touch of spicy dry-hopping, and hints at caramel malts. Flavor is still hoppy with juicy citrus hops of ruby red grapefruit, some rustic notes, pine needles in there too, some spicy resins, all in front of a sweet caramel backbone (far in the backgrond). Palate is medium, oily, and soft to lively. Finishes with rustic notes, some lingering pine needles, and a hefty bitterness. A moderately high bitterness, nice hop flavors, and a light malt backbone. More like a highly hopped APA but either way a good hop forward American beer.

a truly wonderful beer... a shoutout to my boy rainman, chris you are a crazy windshield punchin fool.. great hoppy flavour.. red as a dot .. easy drinking and full of demanding satisfaction!! ..green flasher police view!

My palate was head over heals for Hop Head Red Ale. If there is such a thing as Double Amber that this is it. Strong beer, Amarillo dominates aroma and flavor. Well practiced green dry hopping.

strong aromatic hop nose, muddy amber with ample head and great lacing. easy to drink, very tasty

Bottle courtesy of markwise. Pours a clear amber color with one finger white head that settles slowly and provides lacing on the glass. Aroma is hops, grapefruit, citrus, some honey and spice. Flavor is malty and hoppy with the grapefruit-citrus-like flavors predominating. Some orange and ripe non-citrus fruit notes come through as the beer warms. Generally medium body with a hoppy and sweet finish.
