Green Flash Imperial IPA

22 oz. bottle - clear gold, big head and good amount of lacing; huge hop nose; drinks bitter with tasty mix of hops, citrus and malts; nice bitter aftertaste; tasty

This is more of on the lines of what im looking for in an IIPA. Copper color with a big smack of hops and pine. Flavor was the same with a grassy citrus finish to it. the aftertaste hung around as well. Outstanding brew.

Bottle from Daniel, thanks. One I have wanted to try for a long time, and the other night I finally got to try it. Pours out an orange / yellow color with a white head on it. Sweet hoppy smell full of pine and grassy and plenty of citrus. The taste is mostly hops, balanced very well, fresh tasting. Not overly bitter, but a very nice double ipa which one could easily session. This beer would probably not be very good with age, so thank god this one was fresh. No alcohol detected, just a nice west coast IPA. Thanks.

This is a perfect example of the PERFECT West Coast IIPA. The hops balance, better than any other IIPA, the malt adds sweetness to the hops and the result is a perfectly balanced, high alcohol IPA that can be taken in session if you’re looking to push the envelope...a lot! This stuff pours a nice carmel golden amber, with minimal white head. Lacing present, but not too much. Flavor is a mellow, yet very hopped and graciously malted golden flavor.

Poured a light orange color with good head and okay lacing. ARoma was pine and citrus and wet dog. Flavor was much the same lots of fruit light ones in the flavor. good beer minus the wet dog.

22 oz bomber. Pours a cloudy amber with a 1/2 inch off-white head. Strong hoppy aroma of citrus - orange, I think - as well as pine. Flavor was orange and pine. Mouthfeel was medium and creamy with a good bitter aftertaste. Nice IIPA.

Thanks to riversideAK for this beer. 22oz bomber. Pours a light gold with a weak frothy head. The aroma is strong; a fierce hoppy/pine aroma that stands out. The taste is a strong hop presence; full of pine and citrus. There is also a great floral and malt presence. Really well made and enjoyable. 101 IBU but also really easy to drink. 9% no way, the alcohol is not noticable. Great!

NorCal December ’07 - Another outstanding Green Flash beers. I’ve always been a big fan of their WC IPA, and think it’s one of the best out there. Now this comes along and wow, very nice. The aroma has a nice combo of piney and citrus hops, which combined with the fruity/sweet malts make this a great sniffer. Flavor is a fantastic 1-2 punch of juicy grapefruity hops and a strong caramel malt bill. There were also some nuances of spicy hops and a touch woody, like chewing on tree bark. Overall, a very nice beer. Fairly easy to find too.
