Picked this up at a great beer store, Tops Liquor, while at a conference in Phoenix. Nice copper yellow pour with nice foamy head and great lacing. All floral and hop resin in the nose! Very earthy. The taste is much the same. Really nice earthy, bitter, resiny hops that will make you pucker. Hops are the star here, but there's a nice caramel-toffee malt undertone to it also that adds some balance. Great chewy, resiny, oily mouthfeel. Hugely drinkable for an imperial. The alcohol is extremely well hidden. I killed a bomber in no time and was craving a second. This is a hop heads dream. When I die, I hope I go to San Diego. Great beer!

pours with a very thick head- its a golden, buttery color. the smell is very hoppy, pine citrus. the taste is more bitter, and bold than citrus. this is a good solid ipa. i would like a little more citrus- but i am really reaching out on a limb here to find anything wrong with this beer. this is the third beer from green flash that i have had and theyve all been pretty good... this just makes want to try other beers from them.
