Solid IPA but I wasn't blown away. Still a bit confussed on the west coast style. Living on the east coast, I have tried many DIPA's from New England that compare. Some are better, some are not. I felt the malt profile may have overpowered the hops just a tad as it didn't really seem like a 95 IBU brew. On an up note, I look forward to trying this one again.
Great pics! Looks like nice beer for a hot day at the pool. Green Flash West Coast IPA is the epitome of a San Diego beer. Huge hops, great taste.
