Green Flash Hop Head Red

Brewed by Green Flash Brewing Co.
Style: Amber Ale
Vista, California USA

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a red-chestnut color with a medium sized red-tan head. The aroma was flowery, fruity and resiny - definite notes of Amarillo hops. The flavor was fruity yet dry with a nutty caramel malt base and flowery and resiny hops. Definite Amarillo notes. Very nice, but then again I am a fan of Amarillo.

This is why I drink beer. Beer pours reddish with big retained off white head and lots of lacing. Big time citrus hop aroma, but there is a malt presence lurking there in the background. I could smell this beer for a long time and not tire of it. Taste is juicy, green hops with just a touch of malt sweetness. This is a much more balanced beer than their West Coast IPA which is one dimensional and bracingly bitter. I like this one better. A fabulous addition to the Texas beer scene!

Bottle, thanks Harry. Looks great - dark amber, small lively off white head. Toasted malt, oily hops, some caramel sweetness is nice aroma. Taste is decent - bit of a watery amber body, some malt sweetness, some hops (not as many as the name would suggest) - it was enjoyable but just did not come completely together for me - perhaps it is the hops used, I do not think I like the flavour. Anyway, I do like the beer overall, I was just expecting something a little better.

Murky red/brown, small thick lasting beige head.Piney citrus nose. Good hop profile, both citrusy & bitter, full bodied malt backbone. Would have been a higher rating if it wasn’t so unappealingly murky

Tasted this ale on draught. While the cereal malt base slightly outweighed the hop character of this red ale, the Green Flash Hop Head Red achived its goal of a more bitter red. Head lasted for the most part but could be stronger. Solid dry texture, what one would expect from a comparable IPA. Overall, a quality brew, and worth a try.

12 oz bottle from EZ Liquors. Pours a hazy red amber with an average to large creamy beige head. Pine tree aroma with a slight touch of caramel in the background. Flavor falls very flat compared to the aroma but there is lots of fresh hop notes along with some grain. Medium bodied with a strong bitter finish. This beer is nice but why the hell is over $11 a six pack especially considering that it’s only 6% alcohol.

Bottle into pint glass. This beer pours nicely nice size head. Very nice dark amber color, scent is of citrus piney predominantly. Nice hoppy flavor that is perfectly balanced with a perfect amount of malt. Payed about 11 bucks a six pack and I’d do it again!!!

Bottle. The usual reddish amber with a nice off-white head. Initial soft piney hop aroma with a touch of maltiness. Flavor is mostly piney hops with some roast and caramel malts in the background. Some light lacing left in the glass. An nice choice for an easy-to-drink IPA/IRA.
