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

I had this side by side with Moylands DIPA at the Lazy Boy Saloon in White Plains, NY (highly recomemded) and this was a close second. The colour was a bit paler, but had great head retention. The hop flavour is very fresh, pungent and herbal. It lacked a solid backbone and was all hop flavour. The finish was insanely long and crisp, finishing very dry. The hops also displayed a pine flavour typical of NW hops. Straight forward, but still a quality DIPA.

Bottled. Aroma has hops, pine, grapefruits. Clear, orange coloured with a thin head. Taste is quite bitter has piney and grapefruity hops with some maltiness. Decent, straight forward IIPA.

Bottled sample via (and shared with) oakbluff. Almost clear light orange in colour with medium carbonation. Aromas of fresh cut grass, c-hops, and chives. Loads of green c-hops in the mouth, along with more green onion, earth, and light pale malts. A hint of woodiness was also present. Medium bodied with a clean finish. Great stuff... highlight of the night for me!

Bottled, bought in Vejle. Clear orange color, short head. Hoppy aroma, pine, hint of grapefruit. In your face bitterness with a malty background. Straightforward.
