Green Flash West Coast I.P.A.
650 ml bomber. It pours an amberish orange with lots of sediment (shit that usually isn't a sign of freshness). The head is frothy and off-white and leaves a bit of lacing as it recedes. Smell is rather subdued, I'm beginning to think this bottle is old (I wish there was a bottled on date). It is just malt. The flavor is better. It is definitely pretty bitter which I like. It isn't a tounge-blistering bitterness but enoug to make me forget abotu how malty it smelled. There is a lot of pine in play here and it is backed by caramally malts. There is some citrus in the end that goes with the grapefruit rind bitterness. It is an enjoyable one to drink. It isn't the hoppiest beer (and may be past it's prime) but it works for the most part. After tasting it i am utterly confused, did i get an old bottle because it smelled like malts, or is it still pretty fresh because it tasted fine? At any rate if you don't value smell this one is a good one.
