Green Flash West Coast IPA

Had heard a bit about Green Flash so excited to finally try one of their flagship IPAs, especially when the label suggests it's 'extravagantly hopped'.

7.3% is the target mark for a beer that's truly Indian like this one. Nose reminds me of stella hops. Bit of sediment swirling throughout this bottle.. but not offputting. It's quite opaque in any case.

It's got a lovely creamy head, and a lingering sweet citrus bitterness that make it a pretty good effort. But I can't help but think this is more a reasonable example of a style I love, rather than a steller example of an average style. Little bit heavy in the mouth, just not quite got the wow factor. 7.5
