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. Huge fluffy light yellow head. Hazy cloudy head. Citrus aroma. Taste wise it hides its IBUs well. Retains its head very well like all their beers. I've come to enjoy all green flashes beers. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Another tasty Green Flash brew. Cloudy deep amber color with a frothy 2 finger head that laces nicely. Aroma doesn’t disappoint with fresh hops, pineapple and floral notes. Smooth, heavy mouthfeel that goes down surprisingly easy. Taste is malty sweet at the front and bitter bitter hops at the back. Some good floral and citrus notes can be detected with a little digging. Long, bitter finish.

DrinkEmUpJones (675) - Georgia, USA - APR 8, 2012
Cloudy gold with dense head. Big hop nose hits a lot of notes-pine, resin, white flower and green earth. Dense, almost chewy mouthfeel is very green, very earthy hop. Finish lingers forever.

Strong aroma of pine (cedar). Taste is pine and lemon zest. Appearance is lighter in color than their West Coast IPA. Less sediment in the glass as well. After taste is lemon zest. A very good beer. Glad I was able to find one. Next up, Hop Stoopid. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

MotherBrother (304) - Aalborg, DENMARK - MAR 31, 2012
Pour deep golden, with a small white head. Aroma is nice and hoppy, with citrus, pine, abricot, caramel. Taste is really sweet for this style. Medium body, with a semi-flat carb. Would like to try this fresh, this seems a bit subdued.

IndyBeerSnob (110) - Nashville, Tennessee, USA - MAR 30, 2012
This beer does not missfire in many places for me. Pours the perfect ipa color, brown golden orange with incredible lacing. The type of lacing that forms strong even lines between minutes of sipping. This beer I have been waiting Flying saucer Nashville to catch it in stock and today is my lucky day. I consider this one of mmy favorite American imperial IPAs of all time. Thanks San Diego.

22oz bottle poured into a tulip. Pours a golden amber with a big fluffy white head. Aroma is pine, citrus, grapefruit, taste backs this up with some alcohol and lots of bitterness. Pretty good.

Bottle (unrefrigerated) from Freo Doctor, Fremantle While this beer is very hopply , it doesnt have the crispness or bite that the Wesst Coast IPA does, maybe not a great was to review, a beer, but in view of the sister prodcuts, this seems muted in hoparomas a falvour, and not particularly bitter . Nice but not amazing
