Green Flash Hop Head Red Ale
pours a slightly cloudy dark red-amber-brown with thick off-white head. head dies down to a 3/16 inch and stays, great lacing. smell is malt and hops -earthy plus citrus, american hops. minimal malt presence, and could use a little more overall smell. taste is exceptional. starts a nice well-balanced red, not too sweet but good malt, and ends with a huge hop kick, ipa style. some would say over-hopped, i'm sure, but to me this is just a beautiful melding of styles. mouthfeel is very smooth, silky almost, decent carbonation, maybe a tiny bit thinner than i would like. if you like hops this is a great session beer -6% alcohol is pretty nice -though if it was higher i would consider this an american strong ale.
