Green Flash Imperial IPA

What more is there to say. Pretty much the best of the best. Well priced as well.

Poured a golden color into a pint. My buddy brought this back from California so I was happy to share with him. Smell is everything you expect in an DIPA, nice pine and floral hops, enticing citrus and tropical fruit. flavor didn’t dissapoint, tropical fruits came through, balanced with a sharp hops, citrus, all balanced by a distant malt backbone.

Bottle. Pours a hazy copper color with a decent sized off white head. Aroma is huge floral hops, grapefruit, mango, peach. Flavor is huge floral hops mango, peach, pine, cedar, caramel malt. Palate is medium bodied, medium carbonation, finishes with a huge blast of prickly hop bitterness. Fantastic.

Brought a bottle to Fralo’s in Leon Springs. Cloudy orange color with creamy head. Nose of grapefruit, lemons, pine and malts. Taste of creamy caramel malts mixed with the typical glorious flavors of a well built IPA. Not overly bitter on the finish. Very nice.

Bottle. Pours hazy golden amber with creamy off-white head. Awesome retention. Aroma is pine needles, resiny, juniper berries, as well as definite fruitiness, some passion fruit, a toffee-like malt buried beneath , but more and more noticeable as it warms. Flavor is surprisingly balanced and light. Toasted toffee malt taste upfront, lots of floral and sharply bitter fruitiness and citrus – lemon, apricot, lime – throughout. Finish is slightly soapy citrus. Surprisingly, alcohol is not at all noticable. Strong bitterness lingers for a long while.

Pours hazy gold with a medium white head. Nose is intense grassy and floral hops. Flavor of strong grassy and floral hops with a finishing grapefruit hops note. Intensely bitter. Very limited malt background that only shows up as it warms, and then only towards the end. Endless bitter finish. Oh so good.

Light copper pour, small white head. Aroma of citrus hops bigtime. Flvor is citrus hops, orange mostly and grapefruit. Caramel backbone, dryhopped like crazy with lots of citrus hops flavor and aroma.

very strong hop aroma, a hazy amber color with a thick tanish yellow head. has an oily thick feel on the palate. smooth with a bitter sweet after taste
