Warning!!! This beer lives up to its name, new 2015 release, 150 IBU's , 9.5% ABV, this is only for real hop heads, big Columbus and Centennial Hops, little, and I mean little tropical fruit, what you really taste is a insane about of bitterness, like sucking on a grapefruit, tea and herbal notes as well, as for me I Love it, but I am a hop head, rating this beer in the style, and of course the name, this will wreck your pallet, make this the last beer after others if you are session beers, Great Beer — 10 years ago

A true classic, first ever IPA brewed in San Diego, my all time favorite place for IPA's holds up pretty well after 20 plus years, nice citrus and tropical notes, less of course than current IPA's, but overall solid IPA, and as I said it is a classic, if you in SD, and are a beer Geek, it is a must to try, esp on tap, have a growler filled up right now, excellent brew — 10 years ago
After some years enjoying beer, it is still one of all time favorite Red IPA's big hops, Caramel malt, citrus and pine, excellent beer, years ago when this style came out, I really did like anything called "Red Ale" this is the one that changed it all for me, this is a perfect example of what a red ale should taste like, or really a double red IPA, but that is what I love about it, mixes and balances the two style together and creates a new and now popular style, Green Flash was the first and still the best at this, one of the best, there a now a few others that are just as good and better, but not by much, I give extra points because Green Flash made this style first and great from the start, back in 2004 or 2005, I think it was, Great Great beer — 11 years ago
The first beer I had from green flash combines Belgian trippel and American IPA. Great stuff — 12 years ago
Don't get put off by the plain label. Small head. Orange in color. Cloudy. Nice aromas. Flowery and orange. A little bitter, at first, but also in aftertaste. While light in alcohol, stay in mouth for a long time. Some grapefruit. Complex. Gets dryer as you drink it. Cedar: on the aftertaste, just after drinking it. Interesting beer to try, not to have every day. — 11 years ago

Pale ale. Bright citrus, fruity hops (but not overwhelming), apricot, overripe peach, bitter notes and a hint of fresh herbs. Good stuff. Happy to see the ABV @ 5.5. Great daytime beer. — 10 years ago
