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.

Draught Amber clear beer with small, off-white head. Flowery, delicate but outspoken dry hopse, dried roses, sultana’s. Un-be-lie-va-bly flowery, grapey, super-aromatic hops taste, amongst the most delicate and powerful ever tasted - superb. Slightly burning MF, medium bodied, fiery, slick. One of the best IPA’s I’ve ever had, full stop.

On tap at Dr. BIll’s amber pour with a barrage of citric & pine hop aromas & flavor. Nice example of the style

Clear copper amber color with a fluffy white head. Malt, citrus and juicy piney hop aromas. Medium body and medium carbonation. Bitter hops flavor with some redeeming grapefruit qualities. Dry clean finish that hangs just long enough.

An amber-copper hazy beer with lots of large particulate (yeast) floating around, which lost it points on appearance. Large off-white head that sticks around and leaves lace. The aroma is pure hop, mostly fruity (grape, perhaps lychee) but also floral and citrus. Well-rounded hop profile. The flavor is more hops (no surprise), a hint of caramel maltiness, and a bitter finish. If the yeast would settle out, this would be near the top of my list for IPAs. Kind of bridges the gap between IPA and imperial IPA. Great beer.

Flaske. Super dejlig duft af humle. Citrus og en smule blomster. Masser af bid i smagen, får rigtig meget props for at være frisk og drikbar efter en tur over atlanten. Helt klart den bedste af de 3 Green Flash bryg der foreløbig er dukket op i lille Danmark.

Pours copper with fluffy white head and beautiful lacing. citrus on the nose. Caramel and Hops all over this well balanced beer. Bitter grapefruit finish. Im glad this is now available in NC. I have found a new session beer!

this is a clear straw colored intoxicant emanating a full spectrum hop aroma. light on the palate, an easy all afternoon on the diamond refreshment. the malt is there though just slightly, not sugary at all. Nice long lasting bitter finish
