Every beer I tried there seems to have the same rating. All different, all good, love drinking them, but when it comes to the rating I only give slightly above average. cthulu81 (29), Woodbridge, Virginia, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 23, 2007 I do like the Green Flash bomber series, yes I do. Here we have a very competently brewed American interpretation of a Belgian trippel. Pours a lucious, hazy, clover honey hue that raises a decent frothy head; unfortunately said head deflates rather quickly, but does remain in quite submission ringed around the glass. Aromas of light pear syrup entice me to drink deep. An initial spicyness popping on the tongue melds into a richer than traditional but tasty, coating malt body that speads across the palate with hints of apple, pear, apricot and a very etherial butterscotch. Finishes with a medium dryness and light clove that begs for another sip. Deericious. My favorite of their series is still the icky, sticky IIPA though.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 20, 2007 24 oz. bottle. Light amber with big head that disapates quickly. Orange, tinge of fusel and bannana esters. Sweet toasted malt, smooth caramel with cloying and spicy finish. Medium mouthfeel. Could be better attenuated or less dextrousness. aspidites (1274), manteca, California, USA

Some acetyl alcohol and dms come thru at mid palate. Cloying and hot finish. jarspag (595), Los Angeles, California, USA

Yuck - I had this about 6-7 months ago and remember hating it... tasted like a cheap malt liquor to me - maybe I need to give it another shot. But I know the balance was way off IrishBoy (2705), Bakersfield, California, USA

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 16, 2007 Bottle, at csbosox KC tasting 4/14. Bottle provided by csbosox, thanks Chris! Pour is cloudy straw yellow. Smallish off-white head. Taste is malt, yeast and hop in that order. There are also banana and clove in there as well. After taste sticks around just a touch too long for me.
