Green Flash Imperial IPA

Brewed by Green Flash Brewing Co.
Style: Imperial/Double IPA
Vista, California USA

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.

THis was great experience. A well balanced IPA. The IPA poured with a very white frothy head and a cloudy golden color. The intense hops flavors lingered with a slight bitterness. This is good example why I like IPA’S. It is hard to drink lagers after having one of these.

Tap: Cloudy pale gold with a sticky full head. What is interesting about this one is that it is like drinking a cup of cold, herbal hop tea. There was a taste of ripe veggies and other earthy notes. The aroma is sweet hops and a little of the tea thing as well. Creative and enjoyable once you get used to it.

220z bottle from FlacoAlto. Very "green" aroma. Fresh cut wet grass, mint, cilantro, bell peppers. Quite unique for a IIPA and very interesting ... a double IPA without any "C" hops. I like it! Nary an oily pine or bright citrus note. Rather, very floral and (as odd as this sounds) fresh outdoors smelling. Pours light, clear copper with a thick, creamy head leaving excellent lacing. Flavor mirrors the nose in the fact that there are loads of fresh and earthy notes. Lots of mint and grass. Hints of spruce. Damn. This is one hell of a unique unique imperial IPA. Silky smooth. Good and not overbearing carbonation. A very unique and compelling IIPA.

pours a slightly hazy, orange body with white fluffy head that so far exemplifies quality head retention and lacing. Smells like a softly sweet fruity cream candy (think those starburst ones with the "fun" swirls). The flavor is consistent. velvety texture going down. This is great. buy it, try it and rectify yo’ soul...brother! (sing it, it sounds better, trust me - i’m not crazy, or am I....? only time will tell)
