"San Diego-style IPA, as it has come to be known by many, is a super-hoppy, high gravity, yet highly quaffable ale. Green Flash Imperial IPA is created in this new tradition, with intense hop flavors and aromas from a unique blend of Summit and Nugget hops. It’s all about the hops!" -- Brewmaster Chuck Silva

Keg pour at Powder Keg Beer & Chili Festival. Aroma is herbs, hay hops. Appearance is golden brown pour, mild sparkle, attractive thick two-finger width white head and lacing. Taste is medium bitter balanced with sweet and corn chip. Palate is medium bodied, average to lively carbonation with bitterness felt between the teeth at the back of the mouth, pleasant long bitter finish. Overall, an attractive, balanced, tasty beer with good mouth feel. A little weak on aroma.

Bottle. Golden color. Aroma is strong, with citrus, booze, pine and peach. Taste is a real hop bomb, with lots of citrus, pine, caramel, booze and a nice hop punch. Great beer.
