Name: Hop Head Red
Brewer: Green Flash Brewing (San Diego, CA)
Classification: Amber Ale
Alcohol: 7%
Thoughts: Green Flash's Imperial IPA has been sitting in my Top 10 for 4 or 5 months now and I think it is about time I try another beer from them. I settled on their Amber Ale/Red IPA Hop Head Red. I have heard great things about it so I kind of had high expectations. It pours a dark amber with a thick, heavy off-white head that laced the glass the whole way down. The smell has bright and sunny for an Amber Ale. There were plenty of florally hops that overshadowed the caramel and bready malts. The taste of this beer followed suit with sweet, bitter hops and roasted malts. There are simple notes in the taste but they pack a lot of energy and really give this brew a great charge over the palate and down the throat. The mouthfeel of this beer is creamy, but smooth. The best Amber Ale I have had on this blog is 5 A.M. Saint and this is just a tad behind it. I think Green Flash is an amazingly talented brewery and this is only the second beer I've had. I can't wait to get my hands on some more of these.
