Green Flash Imperial India Pale Ale

I've been drinking these Green Flash beers lately because of my two successful orders from BrewDog webstore and now finally I'm realizing, they have a unique "house taste". So, this is definitely a Green Flash Brewing Company beer - and I like it.

Aroma is a bit off...it is not like in those lovely hoppy IPAs, just some odd scent I can't explain any better than odd compared to hoppy IPAs :) Maybe its because of the stronger body that somehow kills the hoppy aromas (?) or not those same hops used, that give that lovely citruslike sensations when sniffed, that this one does not.

Head is very nice, at least if you pour the beer fast into glass, like I did.

Taste is hoppy and dry, but not in a way you would expect from Imperial IPA. This is far away from eg BrewDog-hoppiness. Still, very nice and somehow winelike sensation, but of course it is, ´cause this is far more strong than those basic IPAs, with 9,4% alc vol. Summit and Nugget hops give this beer its unique flavor which is a bit milder than those of BrewDogs' beers but still this has a great hoppy dry taste - and a very Green Flash one, indeed.

These Green Flash beers give always a nice aftertaste, which stays in your mouth after drinking. That is a good sensation and gives this and other Green Flash beers that extra which raises them to be great every time.

**** Great
