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

A hazy straw colored beer with a nice fluffy off-white head. Aroma is sweet, juicy citrusy and flowery hops. Flavor is a lot of citrus hops, a bit of a caramel malt, and ending with a long, strong hop bitterness. Really well done here, good DIPA.

pours slightly orange with a nice off white head. pine and citrus aroma. Very hoppy and tasty with a very mild finish that dissipates quickly

Pours golden amber with an off white head. Aroma is nice fresh citrusy, floral hops. Flavor is piny, resiny, and full of big lasting bitterness. Very good.

22oz bottle. Pours hazy orange. Aroma of tobacco, cedar, and citrus hops. Flavor of raisins and bold bitterness. Tastes a bit oxidized. Big beer.

Bottle. Pours surprisingly light golden with a small white head. Aroma is a blend of citric fruits, though not overpowering, along with a spicy kick and a sweet caramel malt backbone. A bit grassy and herbal. Flavor starts very sweet and a bit honeyish. Quickly gains a citric and sharp piney character. Bitterness in the finish but not overpowering. Slightly oxidized hops but not too bad. Medium body and a fizzy carbonation. Pretty good stuff.

Super-hoppy, but highly drinkable ale. A green flash of intense hop flavors and aromas from the blend of great hops. This beer for sure is all about the hops.

Slight floral hop aroma. Decent hop/malt balance. Golden with slight white head. The malt lingers in the finish.

Honey colored brew. Powerful pine sap aroma with a syrupy feel. Strong notes of herb, specifically oregano and rosemary, that balance out the hop character. A sweet and bitter flavor, nicely balanced and full bodied. Earthy and a subtly smoky with a nice hop bitterness. A nice but not overwhelmingly complex brew; definitely a winner.
