Green Flash Imperial IPA

22 ounce bottle into tulip. Pours clear orange-amber color with a huge 3 finger fairly dense off white head with amazing retention that reduces to a fairly thick lacing cap. Some nice lacing coats the glass. Aromas of big tropical fruits, orange, grapefruit, pine, and caramel. Very nice aromas. Taste of big orange, pineapple, grapefruit, and caramel; with a nice smooth bitterness on the finish that lingers with pine, citrus, and caramel flavors. The bitterness is not so overwhelming, very nicely balanced with the malt sweetness. Medium carbonation and fairly full bodied. Fantastic drinkability for it’s alcohol level, goes down very smooth with no alcohol in the taste and a decent warming on the finish. Overall, another fine beverage from Green Flash. Great balance and drinkability.

Tasty Imperial IPA, but the WC IPA is in a whole other league. Unsure if I would have this one again.
