Green Flash West Coast IPA

By Eric Cioffi

Like the name implies this is a West Coast style IPA. It features huge citrus and pine notes. It is hoppy with a bitter back end. This IPA pours a hazy medium amber with a white frothy head that lasts the whole pint. It is crisp with lots of effervescence and carbonation.

Aroma is tropical citrus and lightly fresh pine. Malt plays a nice supporting role and adds just a touch of balancing sweetness. I have been drinking a variety of IPAs lately and this one is excellent.





Brewer’s Description
A menagerie of hops is layered throughout the brewing process: Simcoe for unique fruitiness and grapefruit zest, Columbus for strong hop pungency, Centennial for pine and citrus notes and Cascade for floral aroma. A multi-dimensional hop experience.
