Fles thuis geprobeerd. Het is een troebel oranje achtig bier met een medium witte schuimkraag. Het aroma is moutig en hoppig. De smaak is citrus achtig en hoppig met een bittere afdronk.

Can from the Davis Food Co-op. Pours hazy gold with a white head. Mixed tropical fruits waft from the pour. I'm going with green melon, guava and citrus. Near med body. Flavor is juicy in a light, dry way. Maybe the flavors are melon, mango and citrus. Pale malt support. Lots of flavor for a 4.2 (I'll send a msg about the listing here). Nice session ale.

This the first Green Flash product I can recall the local craft beer store ever having. Worth a try, of course, I have a 12 oz can to open for my Great Heights snifter. The pour is a hazy, duh, lemonade yellow with a there-and-gone skim of almost white bubbles. Definitely has a citrus smell going for it. I take a drink and get a subdued grapefruit, some lemon, pine and a small bitterness. Certainly a session beer, label on my can says 4.2%. Not very memorable.

355ml can. Opalescent, orangey golden colour with small to average, thick, creamy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Piney and citrusy, hoppy aroma, pale and caramel malty background, notes of pine, pineapple, some orange, tangerine, a touch of kumquat and lemon zest, resinous overtones. Taste is crisp, dry, bitter, piney and citrusy hoppy, pale and caramel malty with little residual sweetness, a crystal malty touch as well, notes of pine, orange, tangerine, woody hints of pineapple, zesty hints of orange and lemon, a resinous touch; minimal jelly bear character here and there. More or less watery texture, dry palate, fine and gentle carbonation; lingering bitter hoppy finish. Pure West Coast, not in perfection, but clean and crisp and simply good.
