Green Flash Imperial IPA

Brewed by Green Flash Brewing Co.
Style: Imperial/Double IPA
Vista, California USA

Bottle@vinens_verden,Odense: Pours gold/copper with a creamy white head. Aroma is hops mainly - a lot of grass & fruit. Piney/grapefruit. Super funky fresh & bitter taste. Crispy. Wow - extremely quaffable. A bit of bread & caramel sweetness to balance it. Just about enough of everything! Woo hah - this brother got me in check! And the alcohol is totally anonymous! So impressed!

22oz bottle from BOTW, consumed fresh. Pour is copperish gold. head is thin layer of white lace, but very attractive. Aroma is very resiny, piney and fresh. I haven’t had a good hop bomb in a while and this aroma really excited me. The flavor is spicy and refreshing. I didn’t want to write all that much, I was busy enjoying the drinking experience.

Bottle. Light amber coloured with a nice white head. Aroma of pineapple, hubba bubba chewing gum and apples. Flavour of bitter grapefruit and bitter hops. Dry and bitter well made Double IPA.

22oz bottle thanks to Odeed. Poured a glowing amber color, some head and lacing. Aroma of floral hops and sweet malts. A creamsical candy taste. Very creamy body, lots going on here. Grapefruit, pine, sugars, hops, more hops. Alcohol well hidden but sneaked up on me, left me a bit numb. A truely enjoyable IIPA.

Bottle: An orange beer with perfect clarity and a collapsing off white head. Oily hop/resiny aroma. Rich, but boring. Just homogeneous hop resins. Rich body; slightly slick. Flavor is piny hop resins. Not much depth to it. The finish is almost peppermint-like. It would satisfy a hop craving, but it’s lacking malt depth & other nuances to make it a complete ale. Perhaps I’m just being overly critical on IPAs lately...

soapy hop bitterness and all kinds of citrus and floral hop flavors. Smells and tastes like some fresh sticky bud. Very green, grassy and herbal. Lime, some orange and I wouldn’t have picked it up without reading it in another rating, but there is a hint of cilantro in there too. Definitely hop forward with just a malt backbone. bitterness is big but pretty round and smooth. Nice light but full mouthfeel. Carbonation is prefect to add a light body without being too strong. A really interesting, well crafted beer. Not perfect, but something somewhat new and well crafted. well done.

Shared with Harry & Alan. Orange colour, small head huge "Mango Skin" aroma (thanks Morenike) with a pine - tangy sweet flavour, hops and sweet too. Wonderful dry but sweet finish. Nice!

bomber. very good IIPA out of the booming San Diego beer scene... solid hops throughout this beer from aroma to the finish.... the bitterness stay with you well after the finish. Overall this IIPA is well balanced... not too overpowering and not too weak. Sweet citrus powered hoppy aroma that could be a bit stronger.... maybe I need a fresher bottle. Excellent hop presence on the palate. Great color and 1" head. Great beer.... try one if you can get it.
