May 16, 2008 Bottle that Daniel brought over. Green Flash has made it to NC? Cool, now all I need to see is the IPA on my grocery store shelves! This one pours out an actual red color with a nice tan head on it. Smell is great, somewhat malty, but mostly grass, pine, citrus, and west coast hop smells. The taste is similar, a typical west coast beer - plenty of hops, light carbonation, good balance. An easy to drink, very smooth interesting beer. I like this one.

May 16, 2008 Bottle. A hazy, blood-red pour with a thick and creamy khaki head. Mouth-watering floral aroma that features plenty of grapefruits, pine and even some hints of strawberries! Goes down with a harsh, tongue-stripping resiny-ness. Love that bitterness! Medium to thin-bodied. Lots of the aforementioned grapefruit in the taste along with some caramel maltiness backing things up nicely. VERY drinkable.

May 13, 2008 bottle from G&G, poured into a snifter. pours a dark reddish/orange with very little head. aroma comes wafting out of the glass immediately. the aroma is definitely different and quite nice. floral hoppiness with some grapefruit and orange peel with an interesting balance of roasted pine nuts. Flavor is the best part of this beer, by far. Starts off with hoppy sweetness and flows nicely to a bitter, roasty finish. Medium body and extremely drinkable. Definitely a quality APA (doesn’t fit the IPA style) as would be expected from Green Flash.

May 12, 2008 Shared by robert at state line. Thanks robert!!! In my opinion this was the best beer all night. Ratebeer calls it an American Pale Ale but in my opinion it is a definite IPA. Super bitter, another grassy bitter beer, which is right up my ally. Smelled great. Taste great, there is nothing I didnt like about this beer! Amber in color, medium texture. Thanks robert for the awesome beer!

May 12, 2008 Poured a clear dark amber color. The color of a well brewed iced tea. There was a nice foamy, thick tan head that left very good lacing. There was a piney, grapefruit citrus aroma. There was a nice crisp taste to the beer with a dry bitterness initially. The beer was very refreshing. The hopiness and beer seemed stronger than the 45 IBUs that it is described as on the label. Good drinking beer.
