Commercial Description:
"San Diego-style IPA, as it has come to be known by many, is a super-hoppy, high gravity, yet highly quaffable ale. Green Flash Imperial IPA is created in this new tradition, with intense hop flavors and aromas from a unique blend of Summit and Nugget hops. It’s all about the hops!" -- Brewmaster Chuck Silva

Pours a hazy yellow with some amber hues. Foamy off white head. Looks real nice. Super nose of sweat onion (typical from Sumimit hops and light pine background. really that’s about it, but it is surely enough. The flavor is not quite where I’d like it. The oniony Summit hops are there and taste very good, but I prefer things a bit more on the aggressive side. Medium body with and oily mouthfeel. Average carbonation with a sweet malt finish and a cutting bitterness. Really a fine beer.

beautiful yellow/amber pour with a HUGE sticky frothy white head. Aroma of grassy hops, with some big notes of citrus, and grapefruit. Flavor is very nice, some great hops in here, lovely citrus, and some really nice malt, this is one of the most balanced DIPA i’ve had, very very nice. But not as big and bitter as i was expecting. I found their west coast IPA to be hoppier.

Aroma is piney, light copper, small tan head. Taste is quite citrusy, a decent malt underpinning as well. Medium bodied, quite bitter. Very good example. Thank You Torontoblue

22 oz. bomber bottle from Vintage Estates in Ohio, has a orange and yellow hazy pour, there are touches of peach colors in this brew , has a white and off-white fine bubbled two finger head that leaves nice lacing on the glass, a generous amount of effervescence that continues, aromas of grassy and floral hops with earthy and weeds hop fragrances (nugget hops?) in the background, toasted malt, sweetness and faint fruit citrus aromas, lots of hop bitterness with malt, flavor of bitter pine hops with pale malts, toasted malt and some caramel flavors, lemon fruit and citrus on the tongue, has a big hop bite and faint burn on the tongue, I did not taste any alcohol when this was cold, alcohol shows up as it warms but the alchol is hidden very well, mouth feel is more then medium with generous carbonation, a nice balanced IPA2 with the tilt towards the hops that is easy to drink.

Pours a cloudy golden color with a thin white head. Solid aroma of resinous, fruity hops. Very good flavor of resinous, fruity hops with a dry, bitter presence in the end. The body is light with a liquorous texture and gentle carbonation.

Really good stuff. Pours amber with a small lacing foamy head. Aroma is very grassy hops. Flavor stings with hops, and finishes smooth with a citrus and malt flavor, very nice for a hop head.

(bottle): Pours a clear honey-red body, frothy white head, good lacing & lasting. Grapefruity, bitter aroma. Hoppy bitter taste, real bitter, dry. Like sticking your face in horsefeed. Rougher as it warms up.
