Green Flash Barleywine
Ratebeer 3.7 94th percentile
Beer Advocate B+
Taste +4
This brew pours with the deepest ruby and a thin head the colour of a latte. Even before your nose gets close, you can pick out citrus hops, caramel/toffee and alcohol. It was very sweet on the toffee, fruit and caramel side, which is expected for a barley wine. The unexpected side was the huge hop bitterness and tartness at the end.
Aftertaste +2
After all the surprises were over, the palate was left with a full mouth creamy pine and grapefruit hop resin. This combined with the heavy visceral sweetness makes one unique brew.
Alcohol Content +1 10%
Yup, after one things are freakin wonderful.
Value +1
I will certainly get this one again.
Ingame Enhancement +1
Nothing is better than a night of L4D with Shifty from the Shire. We let him go first and hold the propane tank.
Overall 9/10
Good brew, enough said. If you like'm strong, sweet and tart this is the one.
