Issue #18: Total Hop Bomb

This Green Flash brew is definitely on my short list of coolest names ever. Palate Wrecker will draw your attention with its excellent name and have you begging for more from the first sip. Green Flash's spring seasonal is only around a few months a year so grab it while you can.

Green Flash Palate Wrecker - 9.5% ABV
Imperial IPA
Spring Seasonal
12 oz bottle poured into a tulip
Bottled 01/29/13

Appearance - A rich amber color with a big, fluffy, nearly white head that slowly dissipates.

Aroma - All hops; very citrusy, lots of orange and grapefruit.

Taste - Follows the nose. Lots of citrus, juicy grapefruit, extremely bitter. Some nice orange flavors towards the end and a strong bitter finish that lingers.

Mouthfeel - Good carbonation, a bit sticky, medium body.

Overall - This is the kind of beer I dream of, absolutely delicious. Explosive flavor, highly drinkable, excellent aroma and beautiful presentation. Admittedly, you need to be a hop person to like this one, it's intense. The type of beer that's so hoppy you feel like it's pulling the enamel off of your teeth, but I like that. This is one of my favorites. 5/5

Drink On,
