Green Flash West Coast IPA

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

4.6/5

AROMA
9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20

12 ounce bottle. Pours very slightly hazy orange-amber color with a dense 2 finger off white head with incredible retention, that reduces to a lacing cap that leaves fantastic lacing. The aromas are amazing. Smells like a bag of hops, very strong aromas. Grapefruit, orange, pine, pineapple, and some caramel. Taste of a TON of grapefruit, orange, and pineapple; with pine and a slight bit of caramel as well. Has a big, yet smooth bitterness that comes in after the finish and lingers for a while with citrus flavors. No alcohol noticed except for a very slight warming after the finish. Has an extremely smooth medium-full body with medium carbonation. Overall, this is absolutely incredible. So much great citrus flavor and fantastic drinkability. I will be picking up a pack of this, thank goodness it is widely available now.

This is absolutely delicious. Can't wait to try out the other Green Flash beers I have.
