Aroma is very nice and include alot of hops and some biscuit malt. in terms of flavor, hops hit you off the bat and then you pick up the carmel and biscuit flavors from the malts. mouthfeel is a little oily with a nice sweetness to it. This is with out a doubt the best amber ale I have had. job well done Green Flash for making such a great amber. bigrond (1054), factoryville, Pennsylvania, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Feb 23, 2009 pours a deep red/brown with a quickly disapating white head. Aroma is great. Hops everywhere. Very dry, has a long lasting aftertaste. I am a fan of this beer. The only thing I wasn’t ready for is the floating....things. Are they the aftermath of the dry hop process?? I don’t know. This beer also seems to have an indentity problem, classified as an amber, tastes like an IPA. I notice the line between red ales and IPA’s is getting blurred. Very good beer all in all roder60 (1030), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA

Aroma is deffinatly pine hops with a nice biscuit malt. Flavor is again a very nice citrus hop with some caramel and dry malts.
