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
101 IBU

Bottled. An amber beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has spicy notes of sage, as well as notes of other herbs, and heather honey. The flavor is sweet with notes of caramel and heather, leading to a very bitter finish. The body is thin.

Bottled. Somewhere between deep golden and pale amber, firm head. Striking lychee aroma. Full bodied and very sweet. The attempts at balancing the vast amounts of hops results in excessive sweetness,and it feels a bit sticky. The lovely hop flavour fades out into an inky bitter finish.

(Bottle 65 cl) Courtesy of Storm. Hazy golden with a dense, off-white head. Fresh and very citrusy aroma. Solid body with some caramel malt and then a very distinct hoppy finish. 100507

Bronze colour. Nice sparkle. Spicy, woodsy nose with lots of star anise. Wow - gorgeous and unique sage, rosemary, toast, anise...a whacked out, beautiful hop character. I like it.

Bootle. Clear golden coloured with a small white head. Very perfumed aroma of hops, grass and pine needles. Flavour of hops, grass and pine needles with notes of caramel. Hoppy finish. One dimensional hop juice with no complexity.
