(Bottle, thanks to Håkan) Amber colour, slightly hazy, with frothy tan head. Fruity nose with notes of citrus, orange peel, apricots, oak wood, barnyard and vinegar. Fruity, tart taste with citrus, blood orange, apricots, vinegar, oak wood, red wine, barnyard, brett and a generous acidity in a finish with a fairly low bitterness. Almost full body, with a slight sweetness. Generous acidity, lots of wood and brett. Very nice.

Aromas are good pine resin with a little amber malt and a hint of citrus. Flavor is somewhat similar to nose with excellent balance between bitter, sweet and carbonation. Bitter edges out the others. Slightly soft mouth. Really glad Green Flash is back in this market.

Bottled. Black colour with a mediumsized beigeish brown head, that leaves nice lace. Aroma is coffee, some tobacco, smoke as well as some alcohol, toffee and mild leathery/spicy notes. Flavour is leathery, some roasted malts, coffee, some tobacco and mild toffeeish notes. Also a wee bit alcohol pushing through, but suiting into the otherwise quite ashy/roasted thing.
