COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Palate Wrecker was originally brewed for the Hamilton’s Tavern 2nd Anniversary celebration. It’s the most complicated West Coast–inspired IPA we have ever brewed—mashing and sparging with hopped wort, in addition to our hop layering regimen for IPA. We use almost 6 lbs/bbl of Columbus and Centennial hops to create this very bitter hop monster (tested at 149 IBU and no extracts in case you were wondering). By popular demand, it is now released for the world to enjoy (even though this beer isn’t for everyone, only the real hop heads!!!). Cheers! - Chuck Silva - Brewmaster - Green Flash Brewing

Hazy copper pour, nice head. Like most Green Flash beers, taste is supreme. Hoppy full taste, smooth and not overwhelming despite the 9.9 . ABV. Very drinkable, feels like a sneaker. Poured from 32 oz, Growler,

Pours super clear amber color. The aroma is bursting with dank Columbus hop aroma, some citrus and pine notes in the background are not worth ignoring. Medium body with pungent hops all the way though the beer. Bitter with lingering bitterness, the 9.5% ABV is barley noticeable. Clean fermentation with hops sticking around long after each intense sip. Solid A. Check out my full review on youtube hopsandvines beer reviews. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-_Xl5z1XTM

Vac (2442) - Soon to be back in San Diego, California, USA - OCT 17, 2008
Pours with an amber body topped by a thick head with lots of lacing left on the glass. Hoppy, hoppy, hoppy with notes of grafruit, pine and apricot as an underlying malt sweetness. Full bodied, smooth and warming.

Draft at Capone’s. Pours coppery with off-white stingy head. Nose was caramel malt, pineapple, black pepper, hopcitrus. Tasted very resiny hoppy with a huge tangeriney and pineapply finish. This one is a world class IPA.

Miksu (4023) - Jyväskylä, FINLAND - DEC 6, 2011
Cask at GBBF 2011. Golden orange color. Pungent juicy hop aroma with mango, elderberry, grapefruit and orange. Firm smooth bitterness in the flavor with complex tropical fruit character. Dangerously drinkable, one of the best double IPAs.
