Green Flash Imperial IPA

















































Green Flash Brewing Company
Green Flash Imperial IPA
San Diego, California
12/31/2010, 22 oz. bottle, 9.4 abv

Smell

Tart citrus and pine...lots of pine.

Appearance

Slightly cloudy golden orange with a nice frothy, white head.

Taste

Wow. I liked this one a lot. Taste is super hoppy with tons of piney grapefruit. There is some sweetness, but the hops dominate big time. Fairly high carbonation and tons of hop bitterness make it somewhat prickly. Alcohol is fairly well hidden, but still a sipper.

Comments

This beer is very intense. It should have a warning label saying you must be at least this tall to drink this beer.

Not for wimps.
