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

Love to be the 400th reviewer of this beauty...I’m way overdue to mention it’s delightful hoppy gusto. Green Flash makes some delightful brews and this is no exception. This big daddy IPA has lots of spritzy hop pizzazz that few match...similar to a Moylan’s Hopsicle and that’s a compliment. Truly a beauty amongst the many west coast double IPAs in overall malt-hop balance and a truly delightful flavor.

Aroma is unreal. Hops fills the room as you pour it. goes down smooth as silk. I loved it. Another winner from Green flash.

A TREMENDOUS I2PA! Something I’ll tell the grandkids about. Intense hoppieness that doesn’t dry you out. Pours yellow with crazy carbonation factor 5. Smells of hops with hops added. Tastes like a liquid pine tree meets hop flavored bubbilicious.

Head goes quickly. Nose is a pungent aroma ketchup and yellow onions (yup that’s the best way I can describe it.) Beautiful orange tinge on color. Exceptionally dry on the palate. Flavor is to me onions infused with grapefruit and oranges with slight malt to temper the intense dryness of the hops. Very unique and utterly over the top. Dry grapefruit chewing rind finish.

Wow to the hops in this aroma. Cascade is definitely in there. Fresh grapefruit aroma straight off the Florida highway. Flavor is orange zest and grapefruit. Delicious. Can you say bitter. Love this.

Clear amber appearance with a large, off white head and good lacing. Resinous hop aroma with a herbal edge. Flavor is full of citrusy hops but there is enough of a malt backbone to add balance. Hops dominate the aftertaste, though, and linger through the bitter, long lasting finish.

Coppery color. Nice head. Very astringent. Nice and sticky like a hop monster should be! If you are trying Green Flash, here’s your starting and finishing Line.

The Green Flash Brewer never has been known to go easy on the hops, so you can expect this DIPA to really pack a hoppy punch. It pours with less of a head than I’d like but boasts a creamy texture just short of divine. The hops are less complex than some other DIPA craft beers, but the intensity of Summit hops is like a brick to the face. A wonderfully aromatic and delicious brick to the face, that is.
