Quarantine Beer #015 sampled at home on 03/16/2020. Hazy golden color with a medium white head that evaporates quickly to an outer ring. Short strings of lace. Grassy hops, citrus and malt in the nose. Light-bodied with flavors of grassy hop, grapefruit and bready malt. The finish is mildly bitter with a short citrusy hop aftertaste. Decent overall.

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.

Can. Golden hazy pour. Aroma of pineapple, mango, orange, papaya, oat, citrus and bready malt. Taste has bitter juicy mango, orange, pineapple, citrus, bready malt, oat and a bitter hoppy finish. Good balance between sweet tropical flavors and hopbitters. San Diego quality.
