Bottle@vinens_verden,Odense: Pours gold/copper with a creamy white head. Aroma is hops mainly - a lot of grass & fruit. Piney/grapefruit. Super funky fresh & bitter taste. Crispy. Wow - extremely quaffable. A bit of bread & caramel sweetness to balance it. Just about enough of everything! Woo hah - this brother got me in check! And the alcohol is totally anonymous! So impressed!

Aug 26, 2008 Another highly overrated beer. The musty nose isn’t pleasant, and while it has all the necessary flavors, they don’t seem to blend together at all

Aug 25, 2008 Smells wonderfully sour, grapefruit hops with sticky malt notes. Pours a hazy orange-ish color. Very yellow for an IPA. Small white head. Taste is odd, kind of like rubbing alcohol. The hop flavors don’t do much to mask the alcohol. Not bad, but I’ve had way better

Aug 23, 2008 Trade from Ross man. So the Green Flash West Coast IPA was excellent, and I was hoping that this would be as well. Boy, was I ever wrong. The only redeeming quality of this brew is the appearance which is a nice golden color with a nice lacing effect. Aroma is pungent hops, but the pungency gave way to a garlic aroma. Try as I may, the initial aroma I get is garlic. Once I painfully get past the garlic there is a nose of some pungent citrus hops. But again, I get garlic. Blech. Taste is a little better, the garlic flavor is still there, but not as intense as it is in the aroma. Some citrus flavors are evident as well as some a peculiar anise taste. Basically, take a nice IPA, add some garlic and some pizzelles and you essentially get Green Flash IIPA. The alcohol is well hidden and carbonation is low. Glad I got to taste this, but regrettfully, it’s a big mess IMHO.

Aug 23, 2008 Pours a rather clear golden color with a thin white head with some sticky lacing. Aroma piney hops, some grapefruit/pineapple. Taste is very hoppy up front, some citrus, and some nasty underlying chlorine type taste on the backgound and palate. Had higher hopes for this. Kinda hard to choke down.

Aug 23, 2008 pours a dark orange syrup sunset colour ... great foam ... lacing is ample and creamy ... has a very clean hop bite ... with a nice after hop lacquer ... very upfront ...’’book of the dead’’ ... you can taste and feel the 101 IBU’s ... system check : lots of sticky pine needles left in the mouth, big tasty shoulder shuddering (msCoop) ...
