India Pale Ale has a mouth full of Simocoe, Mosaic, citra and El Dorado hops. Hand Shake packs a punch of hop flavor with a beautiful pale malt finish. Collaboration with Green Flash.

Good collaboration IPA here from Alpine/Green Flash. Excellent hop aroma and flavor, but I would have liked less malt character. Not as clean of a hop flavor as I'm used to from Alpine.

Misc.: Collab with Green Flash
Poured a orangish, pale, semi-clear color with 1-to-2 fingers of off-white head when I got it. Light bubble streams coming up from the bottom of the glass. Sporadic, foamy, layered lacing on the sides of the glass. Average-to-below average retention. (Sight - 3.50)
Smelled Citra, orange zest, floral, Mosaic, caramel, tangerine and light peach. Not as much potency as I would have liked. (Smell - 3.50)
Tasted more malty than I would have thought. Got Citra, Mosaic, Simcoe, boozy orange rind, tangerine, peach and tropical late. (Taste - 3.50)
Medium body. Oily-to-creamy texture. Average carbonation. Abrupt, bitter finish. (Feel - 3.50)
This was not that great of a beer in my opinion and I may have overrated it at 3.63. (Overall - 3.50)
