Green Flash expands year-round lineup with two new IPAs

October 28, 2014Chris Crowell

Beginning in November, Green Flash – the San Diego-based brewery known for unabashedly crafting assertive double and triple IPAs – shows off the breadth of their IPA-prowess with the national, dual debut of Soul Style IPA and Jibe Session IPA.

These “single” and “session” offerings will round out the craft brewery’s flavorful portfolio, offering an IPA to suit every palate and occasion. Green Flash is simultaneously introducing its first-ever variety pack featuring eight 12-oz bottles of classic Green Flash favorites (4 bottles of West Coast IPA, 2 bottles of Double Stout, and 2 bottles of Hop Head Red). Each of the three national year-round product releases will be available beginning in November in all 50 states.

With two new brews on tap and a fresh retail presence, Green Flash is able to better reach the broad based national craft consumer without straying from their hop-loving SoCal roots. The brewery remains firm in its brand promise to passionately produce world-class beer, continuously evolving to offer new and innovative flavors to create craft beer adventures that can be enjoyed from coast to coast.

soul-style_IPASoul Style IPA
Confident that the brewing team would develop an outstanding single IPA, the name “Soul Style” refers to the grace of the rarely seen, soul style surfer who leans way back on the board, making each difficult maneuver appear effortless. Soul Style is the Green Flash approach to the art of crafting the perfect IPA. Citra, Simcoe and Cascade hops are layered to allow bright tropical citrus to mingle with waves of floral notes that break gently on the palate. Soul Style IPA is 6.5% ABV with 75 IBUs.

Brewmaster, Chuck Silva’s Tasting Notes for Soul Style IPA:

  • Appearance – Orange Gold with bright white beer foam
  • Aroma – Very floral with tropical fruit including ripe mango and a hint of orange blossom honey
  • Flavor – Starts with a mellow pale malt sweetness then transitions to pungent hop flavors with grassy notes and a lingering but clean bitter finish.
  • Dominant flavors – Clementine, Mango, Orange-Blossom

JIBE Green Flash IPAJibe Session IPA

The Green Flash brewers made a sharp change in direction producing “JIBE”. But true to form, the Session IPA was brewed in an extreme way. Green Flash set out to produce the lowest ABV possible and still achieve bold, complex IPA flavor and body. Jibe Session IPA is a 4% ABV, 60 IBU “session” beer made with layers of Simcoe, Cascade and Amarillo hops. The flavor profile and mouth feel will satisfy consumer demand for a full-flavored Green Flash interpretation of the popular style.

Brewmaster Notes:

  • Appearance – Yellow Gold with fluffy white beer foam
  • Aroma – Fresh, woodsy pine, eucalyptus, and Oroblanco grapefruit.
  • Flavor – Verdant hop leaf flavors dominate the lean body with a crisp mouth feel and lingering Oroblanco pithy bitterness.

With two new brews on tap and a fresh retail presence, Green Flash is able to better reach the broad based national craft consumer without straying from their hop-loving SoCal roots. The brewery remains firm in its brand promise to passionately produce world-class beer, continuously evolving to offer new and innovative flavors to create craft beer adventures that can be enjoyed from coast to coast.
