Smells like sweaty prosciutto and soppressata with warm orange pith and tangelo zest, tastes like super ripe grapefruits and green herbs with hints of malty beer. Refreshing to the lips but like fuzzy sweaters for your gut. Very fall. — 9 years ago

Want to try this on tap; bottled is delicious. First whiff after pour has a green, bracing freshness (pine?) that burns off as it sits for a few minutes, so savor that first sip! Citrus and apricots, great mouthwatering acidity. You'll keep sipping. For Founders, a clean and more minimalist beer. Nice change-up from them! — 9 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

Rad craft beer from Jura. I'm not good at describing beers so I'll just say that this is light and crisp but also has some good creaminess. Lemons and spices, just a little green hop character. — 11 years ago

So funky on the nose with notes of green strawberries, grass, and very sexy. Thank you David 💃🏾 we decanted this baby and fell drunk in love. I can't imagine how this beer will be in 25-30 years. Only 500 bottles came to the US, we have 5 of them!!! Meowmeowmeow! — 9 years ago

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 — 11 years ago

Yes it's beer. Barleywine-style ale from a brewery actually on an Oregon Beach. This is the best barleywine in existence, from my experiences. Big Milk chocolate, cardamom, caramel, butterscotch and sweet whiskey notes, asparagus, (slight) green pepper. One of the most stunning beers you will ever experience. — 12 years ago

Well balance between fruit, wood and acidity. At 12.5 % alcohol. Aromas of ripe cherry, red currants, tobacco, licorice with earthy and smoky notes. On the palate, dark fruit, root beer, cranberry, fresh mushrooms and a touch of mineral and smoked meat. Had it with roasted pork with Romaine salad and pan seared salmon with a side green salad and pesto dressing. — 10 years ago

Smells like calvados, or Poire William, with sourdough bread, but the palate is all Sherry. This is absolutely the sour beer of wine! Right on Chardonnay! You look fantastic wearing only green olive, briny and bright with lemonesque flora and watercress. But oh so much yeasty flor more! Never had anything quite like this! — 11 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

2012 Nikolaihof 'Hefeabzug' Gruener Veltliner, Wachau, Austria. Very delicate and transparent. Haven't tried a Gruener which is quite like it. Yeast derived notes of lager style beer, fresh sencha tea leaves...high pitched pepperiness, very fresh and transparent, great with anything where is little cooking involved and all about produce. Seafood + green garden vegetables + herbs...great wine from a great biodynamic producer!! — 11 years ago
