Green Flash Hop Head Red

Clear amber with tan head. Big hoppy nose. Flavor has a big hit of hops, then is balanced with a caramelized sugar and malt. Nice body with a dry hoppy finish.

Pours a crystal clear ruby red with fantastic lacing. Aroma is lightly sweet & hoppy with lots of caramel. Great malty taste with crisp, sharp hopping and a very complex spicy aftertaste which lingers indefinitely. Body is creamy and thick with good carbonation. This has so much going on that it’s not really sessionable, which given the style is a bit odd, but still very tasty. A tad too dry for my taste, for a red ale.

Grapefruit aroma fom the fragrant amarillo. Initially big head. Smooth easy drinking, I can just picture the guzzlers downing 6-paks. A nice bitterness that is left on the aftertaste. Well balanced at 45 IBU.

The beer poured more of an Amber than red with a small tan head and was hazy. The aroma was all hops with some piney notes. The flavor on first sip was mostly malty, caramelly with a hint of bitterness. As the beer warms the bitterness comes more apparent almost to the point where it is uncomfortable, which is the main problem I had with this beer. A decent beer, but not really my thing and I typically like hoppy beers.

12oz bottle from bottleworks in seattle. red brown pour with creamy off-white medium head. pine and caramel malt aroma. citrus hop with nutty roasted malts in the taste. good medium texture with just the right amount of tingly carbonation. light dry bitter finish. good stuff. K-8

It pours a more red color than simply an amber. The head is a thick cream color with a little pinkish tint and a lot of lacing around the glass. The smell is a lot of citrus, with a bit of the roasted malt in the background. Most of the hoppy red ales I’ve had usually hit you first with the malt, then the hops come into play. This one seems to be the opposite. The citrus hops come in, with a lot of grapefruit, and it is followed up very lightly by the malt. I’d say the malt in this red is a lot less pronounced than many in this style. It’s a good, hoppy, beer that leaves the grapefruit taste in your mouth for a while.

Bought a siz pack of 12 oz bottles, kept growing on me. Pours reddish brown, with a fluffy tan head. Lots of thick sheeting on the glass. Flavor is a roasty malt, with some molasses sweetness, tea notes, and a piney hop bitterness. I found it could get pretty bitter as it warmed up, but really enjoyable complex and balanced flavor.

Pours a dark amber with a decent size tan head. Aroma is floral and resin, some malt. Solid bitterness.
