Palate Wrecker

Palate Wrecker, Green Flash Brewing Company, San Diego, CA
(Imperial/Double IPA, Rated 99)

One of the most complex double IPAs I've had. Pours a golden orange with a nice white head. Nice lacing on the glass. Pungent aromas of pine, floral, citrus, and a little caramel sweetness. Taste is sticky resin, malted sweetness, and an abundance of tangy, hop bitterness. A powerhouse of flavors from beginning to end. Even with all that flavor, this beer is well balanced with a juicy finish. The name suits this beer as it will destroy any previous flavors you've had before this one. Better check it before you wreck it! Outstanding IIPA!
