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

clear amber color, nice off white head that quickly receeds, lots of lace. nose of citric hops, touch of maltiness. flavor of citrus hops, caramel, mostly hops. creamy mouth feel, but mostly bitter hoppy finish. a very enjoyable experience, with well hidden alcohol content. sampled @ family liquors in homewood. my 50th DIPA rating.

Bottle. Pour is cloudy copper with smallish white head. Aroma is huge hop. Pine, grapefruit, guava, dandelion, and a light malt background. Definitely a hop feature. Flavor is a touch bitter up front with a nice mellowing middle to lingering pine, grapefruit, and resin hop. Pretty crisp finish with a small amount of lingering bitterness. Very easy to drink. Solid but not too crazy.

Pours a honey yellow, orange with a small white head. Aroma is "weed", grass, and citrus. Taste is strong hops but not overly bitter, a little bit of sweetness, and lots of grapefruit. Alcohol is well hidden for 9.4%. I’m a huge hop head but I’m not really a fan of this beer. It seriously tastes and smells exactly like weed.

22 oz. bottle. Pours amber gold with nice lingering white head. Aroma citrus hops, clementine, grapefruit, resiny. A sharp hoppy bitter bite with a bitter lingering finish. Grapefruit very prominent. Undoubtedly excellent, but if you really think about it it almost tastes too much like ruby red grapefruit juice. Definitely very nice but not a personal favorite for the style.

Pours a golden orange with a white head. Aroma is dominated by grapefruit and some slight floral notes. Strong hop taste with grapefruit and pine. Finishes with a bitter citrusy taste.

Bomber. Slightly hazy darker orange. Medium white head. Citrus sweet hoppy aroma. Big sweet floral hops, followed by bitter hops behind a lighter and more subdued caramel malt base. Ends bitter and long, and medium dry.
