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 0z. bottle, orange color with egg whites head, very nice grapefruit and pine taste upfront but finishes with a fatty off putting bleu cheese flavor

Masser af humle - og som modvægt en meget sirupy sødme. Balance? Måske ikke - men jeg kan skisme godt li’ det! Er dog ikke helt oppe at ringe.

On tap @ Radio Maria in Champaign. Autumn orange color with frothy head and lacing. Floral and citrus aroma; nothing stood out but did smell good. Flavor very hoppy and bitter, resiny and piny. I liked the overall texture and flavor, but the finish left an annoying residue on my palate. Good IIPA, but was not a huge fan of the finish.

Bottled. Thanks to Anders Holmskär. Clear orange colour, big frothy head. Citrus and almond paste in aroma. Probably oldish bottle. I want no almond paste in my 2IPA. Alcohol clearly sensed, making it bit edgy. Alcohol bitterness was also sensed, not only from hops. Rounded, maltry mouthfeel, probably from a beer that went past its prime.

Bottle 66cl. Clear medium orange color with a large, frothy, good lacing, mostly - fully lasting, off-white to white head. Aroma is light to moderate malty, caramel, moderate to heavy hoppy, grape, orange, grass. Flavor is moderate to light heavy sweet and heavy bitter with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. (270308)

Bomber. Nice crisp, clear, golden pour with a white head...and I think I saw a hint of pink in it. Very potent floral and citrus aroma. The flavor had a heavy hop bite, very bitter, which I liked. Could have been balanced out little better though. The body is just shy of perfect in my book. Very tasty.

Bottle. Pours clear yellow with a big long lasting fluffy head. Beautifull! Very hoppy aroma of citric fruits and peach. In flavour grapefruit, lemon, peach, mango and some caramel as well. Super San Diego style IPA. Very good beer indeed.

Coppery orange, very thin white head. Big flowery hop aroma. Flavor is just a hint of maly sweetness, with a big, piney, stickey, resiny, woody hop finish. We noted a slight vegetal note as it warmed - maybe kind of a green pepper, maybe? perhaps?
