"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

Tap at Max’s Taphouse, Baltimore - 22/05/12. Hazy golden orange pour with a finger of off-white head. Citrus hop aroma, grapefruit, orange peel, pine, caramel malt backbone. Taste as nose. Medium to full body, slightly cloying but very drinkable.

Bomber bought @ Ølbutikken. Pours clear deep golden with a frothy offwhite head that leaves some sticky lacing on the glass while dissipating. Smell is sweet, malty and hoppy with caramel, grapefruit juice, orange zest, pine, fresh grass, dark bread, alcohol, slightly dry wood, zest of slightly overripe lemons, alcohol and golden syrup. Taste is sweet, bitter, malty and hoppy with caramel, orange zest, freshly cut grass, grapefruit juice, grapes, wood, moist soil, sweet bread, pine and alcohol. Mouthfeel is smooth, round, tiny oily bitter, tiny boozy and medium to full bodied. Finish is sweet and bitter sticky sweet caramel, pine, straw, orange zest, resinous wood, cereal and alcohol. Balanced and tasty. Possibly a tad bit old...

Fräsch ren doft. Ja Lite halm gräsighet å något ladugård. Smakar ofattbart balanserat. Endast behövs något mer frukt för att få full poäng. Jäkligt bra Imperial IPA. Hur Faaan lyckas man göra denna goda öl. Åk å besök staterna å snälla svenska bryggare lär er å ta hem kunskaperna..

65 cl bottle @ O’Hara’s Freehouse. Rated on 18.02.2011
Aroma is fruity with hops, some citrus, caramel and hints of alcohol. Flavour is sweetish with exotic fruits, citrus and caramel. Also some alcohol comes through. Decent.

Bottle at Baran. Pours hazy orange with small white head. Nice fruity and floral hops in the aroma with grass and grapefruit. The fruity taste is fantastic which mirrors the aroma, with a distinct bitterness, round and good balance. Slick and rich mouthfeel. A lot of taste in this beer and stunningly well-balanced.

Bomber @ home. Pours a fairly clear, burnt orange appearance with a big off-white head. Somewhat resiny, piney, mildly grapefruit citrusy hoppy aroma. Rich, toasty, caramel malty, light toffee, big grapefruit, resiny hoppy flavor. Both the malt and the hop side are quite potent and delicious. Piney aftertaste. I love it.
