Green Flash Imperial IPA

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.

(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

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.

75 cL bottle, thanks to thewolf. Pours hazy orange with a dense white head. Mild pine and grapefruity aroma. Flavour starts with a sweet caramel with a nice fruity note before a solid bitterness is building up along nice sweet notes towards the finish. Nice.

Bottle 66cl. Clear medium orange color with a large, frothy, good lacing, mostly - fully lasting, off-white to white head. Aroma is light to moderate malty, caramel, moderate to heavy hoppy, grape, orange, grass. Flavor is moderate to light heavy sweet and heavy bitter with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. (270308)

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.

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.
