Green Flash " West Coast IPA" & "30th Street Pale Ale" - USA

Green Flash West Coast IPA(left) & Monk (Belgian style)Wheat Beer (right)


This is the West Coast IPA contrasted with Monk Wheat Beer, note the lovely copper amber colour.
This IPA has a complex hop flavour. It is fruity, floral, citrus and richly aromatic. Apparently brewed with 4 hop varieties (Simcoe, Columbas, Centennial & Cascade).
Has a pleasant crisp bitter finish with 7.3% ABV.
Great example of an American craft brewed IPA.

SCORE 4.5
Green Flash 30th Street Pale Ale

The Green Flash Brewing 6th anniversary offering of a 30th Street Pale Ale.
Pours a dark almost copper amber  less dense  head than the West Coast IPA.
A balanced hopped Pale Ale with a slightly less bitter finish.
6% ABV


SCORE 4.0
