Green Flash West Coast I.P.A.
Bottle received in trade from HeadyHops81, poured into a pint glass. A: Colored between dark golden and light amber, with two finger fluffy white head that faded quickly but gave excellent lacing. S: Smells like a total pine tree, with hints of citrus. T: Sadly, this is the kind of IPA that I don't like - the pine flavored one instead of the citrus flavored one. Pine is really all I taste, with a very dry finish. M: Fairly thin mouthfeel with an extremely dry finish. D: For a beer that's over 7% ABV, this hides it's alcohol very well. However, for me, due to it's pine taste I probably won't have another of these and will instead trade them away. And considering it's about the same price per 12oz bottle as Hopslam, I'd have Hopslam all day and twice on Sundays over this. Oh well, you never know which IPAs you like until you try them, right?
