Commercial Description:
This West Coast-Style India Pale Ale is extravagantly hopped, full flavored, medium bodied and copper colored. A menagerie of hops is combined throughout the brewing process to impart specific characteristics. Hops used include Simcoe for a unique fruitiness and grapefruit zest, Columbus for strong hop pungency, Centennial for pine and citrus notes, and Cascade for floral aroma.

Bottle. Pours with a large, slightly off-white head over a hazy golden-orange body. Aroma of pine, dankness, marijuana, needles, orange, herbal, and caramel. Taste is a bit watery compared to the vivid aroma, notes of caramel, orange, pine and a good amount of bitterness. Lively bubbles, water like mouthfeel.

Hazy orange body with a foamy off white head. Aroma of pine and floral hops, earth. Flavor was strongly hoppy up front, astringency and a nice earthy finish. Lively mouthfeel.

Bottle poured into a tulip. Hazy copper, orange in color. Small white head. Great lacing. Nose of piney hops and some lemon-orange-grapefruit-pineapple citrus. Medium body, lively carbonation, and creamy texture. Hoppy, grapefruit flavor. Bitter biting finish of considerable length. 7.3 ABV

Amber pour. Large hop nose. Very hoppy taste but maintains a sweet composure. Wet finish makes this pretty good. The only drawback is that it can be quite catty.

12 oz. bottles from a case purchased at Bella Vista Distributors in Philadelphia; also on tap regularly at The Drafting Room in Spring House, PA. Nearly overwhelming floral scent of hops, followed a the strongest fresh hop flavor I’ve had in a beer. I don’t know what they’re doing at Green Flash to produce the distinctive flavor of this beer, but it’s been my favorite IPA for awhile now.

Bottle. Amber with an off white 1 finger head. I dont know about you but i dont smell a beer here, i feel like i should hide this one from the cops. Very herbal and grassy. Light citrus and dark caramel. Light hop resin and a bit dusty. 3.9 HOLY CRAP, i just had this on cask at Rattle N Hum, this was freaking phenomenal don’t know what i was talking about in my previous review but DAMMIT, i want to go back today just for another pint of this hop oasis. Delicious pine, citrus, grapefruit, and hop resins. This is a godsend! 4.5

12oz bottle. Very floral, citrusy nose to this one. Pours a lovely amber with decent, thin head. Not overly carbonated. Very balanced grapefruit taste well integrated with a chewy malt backing. Lingers well. Very pleasing.
