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

22 oz bottle poured into a tulip glass has an amber color and a thick white one finger head that fell slowly. hop aroma of both peppery and floral fruity, candy sugar sweetness, grapefruit, pine, and pollen. medium thick mouth feel with plenty of carbonation. hop bitterness leads into sweetness, grapefruit, citrus peel, and pines. finish becomes very dry with a lingering pine bitterness. definitely all about the hops with enough malt and sweetness to keep it well balanced.

On tap at Toronado. Pour was an amber orange with a white head. Aroma of floral hops. Taste was sweet, hoppy, and malty. Finish is not overly bitter. Mouth is also not as sticky as some other IIPAs. Not bad.

Bottle. Nice floral hop aroma immediately grabs your attention. Flavor is sweet malt and bitter hops, with pine and floral hints. The ABV is well hidden, would not have guessed 9%.

Bottle from bigmmartin. Light amber with a nice clean white head. Floral pine hop aroma which is quite good. Flavor is slightly sweet with a long bitter finish. Smooth, cleansing, and drinkable but not overly impressive for an Imperial.

From abomber, pours a deep copper color. Very citrusy aroma. Taste is more of the same citrusy, grapefruity hop flavor. Alcohol is hidden well. Great IIPA.

Bottle. Hazy gold/orange, fluffy white head. Nose is big citrus - grapefruit, pine, mint, toffee & a hint of sugar. Flavor is citrus, surprisingly malty, pine needles, orange rind. Finish shows toffee, long lasting citrus, minty pine.
