Picked this one up while in San Diego. Pours a slightly cloudy amber with a thin white head. Flavors of lemonade, strong hops, grapefruit, orange, other citrus. The nose is strong grapefruit. Dam good beer.

I bought this in Imperial Beach on the advice of a friend and brought it back to Colorado. The color was a clear orange hue with not much white head. Smell was fruity, hoppy juicy. Taste was like watermelon rind, cantaloupe, and green melon, a bitterness in the aftertaste. This was a good beer but I actually liked the Big Eye IPA more, which is also the case with Green Flash; I like the single IPA better than the double. This was also a little more expensive than all the other DIPA’s I brought back from San Diego at $7 a 22. Rock on. Serving type: bottle Reviewed on: 10-03-2007 18:46:45

Served cold from tap at brewery. This is the best Ballast Point brew, in my opinion. Almost 10% ABV, big hop aroma, citrus and floral notes. Flavor is well balanced, not nearly as bitter as expected, but great taste. Almost no presence of the alcohol, even though it’s an Imperial. Feels great on the palate, smooth, and a fine hop finish.

( 22oz bottle thanks to ballewblake) Pours a clear yellow with low oily bubbles. Nose of pine, sweet grapefruit esters/oils. Taste folllows and is pretty bitter for me with some wood thrown in. Body is oily and light. Well balanced but not enjoyable for me.

Pours a beautiful clear golden straw color. The nose is not as strong with hops as I thought but still prominent. I taste a lot of tropical fruit like mango and papaya. The malt is present in the middle and bittering hops finish nicely. What a great clear finish.

Pours a brilliant translucent gold with a two finger cascading white head. Aroma is bursting with fruit and citrus character. Mango, sweet citrus juice, tropical, tad spicy, some honey. Flavor is less delicate than the aroma. Spicy bitterness, pink grapefruit, a bit of honey. Spicy palate with a citrus rind bitterness. Awesome
