- Musical style: Power metal/progressive metal/progressive rock

- Website: http://www.greenflashbrew.com/
- Brew: Green Bullet Triple IPA
- Style: Imperial India Pale Ale
- Serving: 12 ounce bottle
- ABV: 10.10%
- Pour: Slightly hazy orange-golden amber with a thin off-white head with some nice lacing.
- Nose: The nose is hoppy and fruity. Less citrus than I expected. There are lots of big fruity aromas of pineapple, peaches, grape, and grapefruit along with bold malt and pine resin aromas.
- Taste: A bit boozy up front, the taste is complex, quite bitter, and bold, yet very drinkable. There are notes of pine, pineapple, grapefruit, lemon, caramel/toffee, and black tea.
- Mouthfeel: Medium bodied and moderately carbonated, the mouthfeel of the Green Bullet is smooth, but with a bitter, dry, and boozy bite.
- Finish: The finish is fairly clean and dry... quite refreshing for such a high ABV brew.
Skål!!
