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

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!

Bottle, nice hoppy aroma hints of pine. Bitter pine finish, leaving a grassy feel. Good.

From Firefly. A so-so appearance of light and hazy gold was the only less than endearing thing here. Oh yeah, I don’t want to pay $8.30 for very many beers. Aroma was well hopped as was the flavour. Sweet at the finish with a VERY solid mouth. Pleasing and satisfying.

Bottle, shared with Cole and Macadem. Pours hazy orange, with a thick and persistent off-white head. Decent lacing. Nose is big pine, fresh cut firewood pine, with mild floral notes, mandarin oranges, firm malt. Palate isn’t as assertive, biscuit malt, resiny hops, tea, some spice, big bitter finish. Very nice!
