Jan 19, 2009 Fairly fresh 2008 bomber. The body is mostly clear, rusty red-brown in color. A thin, swirly, off-white head leaves minimal, spotty lacing behind. Aromas show like a classic SoCal barleywine, ultra hoppy orange, grapefruit, and green grass bitterness countering the underlying caramel and toffee malts. Flavors follow suit, again very hoppy and citrus based, to the point of essentially being a triple IPA of sorts. Grapefruit and orange rind overpower notes of dark fruits and toasted caramel. Medium-full and sligtly syrupy on the palate, with above average carbonation. Finishes peppery. This is a solid American style barleywine.

Jan 18, 2009 Bottle marked "2nd Anniversary". Poured golden red with brown and a thin tan head. The nose was a bit oxidized and subtle hop, with caramel and some toffee. Same as the nose, the flavor was those influences with much less oxidation.

Jan 12, 2009 Pours a dark copper. Nose is full of pine resin and hops, with a few caramel malt notes. Taste is of heavy caramel malts, with a lot of nice hop bitterness. Very dry and considering alcohol is 10%, it is hidden well. Pretty solid offering.

Dec 24, 2008 Bottle as shown. Pours a cloudy amber color with a medium light tan head that diminishes quickly. The aroma is a sweet fruit malt with caramel. Decent lacing on the glass. The taste is rich citrus hop with a bitter finish that does not hide the alcohol well. Still a good barleywine from Green Flash.

Dec 23, 2008 Dark garnet orange color very nice head. Raw grainy aroma, Flavor is Chewy sweet and toasty excellent balance between hops and malt. Alcohol really hits you. Finish is sticky and bitter. Overall I like it but there is something of a slight chemical essence here. Maybe its the alcohol or the yeast.
