Green Flash West Coast I.P.A.
Pours a nice old copper with a thick white head, lots of sediment in the brew make it even cloudier, good carbonation keeps the head from going anywhere. Aroma is thick with fresh hops off the vine, piney with a touch of maple syrup. Taste is pure IPA, although the chalky aspirin-like bitterness reminds me of an East Coast IPA more than a West Coast, citrusy bitter goodness hides right behind that while a mild sweetness persist to balance the brew. Aspirin aftertaste finishes off bitter and coasts the tongue in hop oils. Not the greatest West Coast IPA of all time, but certainly a great example of one. A must try and a welcome addition to my fridge.
