Commercial Description:
"San Diego-style IPA, as it has come to be known by many, is a super-hoppy, high gravity, yet highly quaffable ale. Green Flash Imperial IPA is created in this new tradition, with intense hop flavors and aromas from a unique blend of Summit and Nugget hops. It’s all about the hops!" -- Brewmaster Chuck Silva

Bottle. Pour is cloudy copper with smallish white head. Aroma is huge hop. Pine, grapefruit, guava, dandelion, and a light malt background. Definitely a hop feature. Flavor is a touch bitter up front with a nice mellowing middle to lingering pine, grapefruit, and resin hop. Pretty crisp finish with a small amount of lingering bitterness. Very easy to drink. Solid but not too crazy.

Pours a honey yellow, orange with a small white head. Aroma is "weed", grass, and citrus. Taste is strong hops but not overly bitter, a little bit of sweetness, and lots of grapefruit. Alcohol is well hidden for 9.4%. I’m a huge hop head but I’m not really a fan of this beer. It seriously tastes and smells exactly like weed.

22 oz. bottle. Pours amber gold with nice lingering white head. Aroma citrus hops, clementine, grapefruit, resiny. A sharp hoppy bitter bite with a bitter lingering finish. Grapefruit very prominent. Undoubtedly excellent, but if you really think about it it almost tastes too much like ruby red grapefruit juice. Definitely very nice but not a personal favorite for the style.

Pours a golden orange with a white head. Aroma is dominated by grapefruit and some slight floral notes. Strong hop taste with grapefruit and pine. Finishes with a bitter citrusy taste.

Bomber. Slightly hazy darker orange. Medium white head. Citrus sweet hoppy aroma. Big sweet floral hops, followed by bitter hops behind a lighter and more subdued caramel malt base. Ends bitter and long, and medium dry.

Pours hazy amber with a tall white head. Slightly skunky with a fresh hoppy scent. Very thick and rich, floral and hoppy. Bitter finish, slightly citrus. This is a nice IPA!
