Green Flash Le Freak

Sample from a 22 oz. bottle shared by Tmoney99. Pours a hazy orange color with a medium sized frothy off white head. The aroma has that Belgian yeast quality with a citrus kick. Moderately sweet malt with a bit of spicyness are also noticable. The flavor is the trendy Belgian twist to the West Coast IPA. A nice hoppy bitterness, moderately sweet malt, Belgian yeast, cheese, bread, spices, and light citrus. There seems to be a lot going on, but at times is a bit busy.

Bottle shared at joey hatreds house. Amber body white 1 finger head. Fruity esters hoppy resins, a nice bready yeast. Spiced lightly with a citrus finish.

Tap @ The Gate in English Pint glass for some reason. Hazy golden with puffy lasting head and lace. Hoppy sweet vanilla yeasty lemon pastry aroma, Sweet vanilla marshmallow with melon and very spicy hoppy finish. Medium body and medium carbo. Excellent Belgian soft mouthfeel. Well hidden alcohol. Delicious and deceptively strong.

Pours a golden orange with fizzy white head. Bready malt, candy sugar, orange peel, banana, belgian yeast, and floral hops. Herbal with notes of spice and coriander. The bitterness of the IIPA doesn’t really come through, but the alcohol is fairly well hidden.

22oz bottle from hophead22.... a cloudy orange caramel brown pour with a moderate soapy white head... aroma was mustiness that coincides with orange peel and tropical pacific northwest hops.... flavors had a medium degree of grapefruit rind bitterness. pretty astringent through the finish and beyond which ultimately became off-putting. some sweetness to start but quickly turns into a bitter beast.

Bomber brought back from my CA trip. I had this at Hamiltons, but I was too blitzed to rate it. Pours a nice translucent orange amber, with a nice off white head and hypnotizing carbonation. Aroma of wheat malts and Belgian phenols. Medium bodied with average carbonation and a slight dryness on the palate. Flavor of wheat malts, candi sugar, honey, pear and white pepper. Not overly attenuated, but there is some sweetness there. Semi dry and bitter finish, with the alcohol only slightly detectable. Not bad, but lacks some cohesiveness.

22 oz bottle. Pours a hazy golden orange honey with a medium sized white head. Aroma of coriander, herbal tea, bubble gum and candied sugar. Taste of bubblegum, coriander, candied sugar, tea and spice.
