    I've always felt like GF makes great beers but just don't get much street cred since they aren't really in the whale/one off game.

    That being said, the Citra Session was awesome. Wish it was bottle or canned and not just draft

    Had my first green flash beers just last month. West Coast was my favorite, palate wrecker not far behind. Looking forward to finding silva sometime soon.

    West Coast and Imperial Red. Crossing fingers for the latter to show up next spring.

    Hop Head Red, West Coast and Silva. Although I hardly buy their beer anymore since the switch to 4-packs.

    Agreed, and we have the same problem down here in DC/MD/VA area. Old bottles sitting on shelves everywhere. I am hoping once the VA Beach facility opens up that problem will be taken care of though.

    West Coast IPA for me, followed closely by Palate Wrecker.

    I love their Double Stout, one of my favorites easily accessible stouts around. Big Green Flash fan overall, and fresh Palate Wrecker on draft is amazing.

    Rayon Vert - nice little taste of Brett for a <relative to other similar beers> reasonable price.

    Can't get much better than a fresh Palate Wrecker as far as DIPAs go. That one is worth $13/4-pack!

    Rayon Vert = Best Funk for the Buck
    not to mention the free yeast at the bottom. for approx. $2/bottle you get a funky beer and yeast!
    Thanks Green Flash.

    West Coast and Palate Wrecker. New Hampshire is struggling to get fresh also. Love all the hoppy beers, but not going to purchase 6 month or even older hop forward beers.

    So, not totally on topic, but does anyone know when they started using the current label on Double Stout? I have an old bomber with the label pictured below. The bottle is not dated - any thoughts? It was on the shelf next to a 2008 GF Barleywine, which I also snagged.

    Virtual tie between West Coast IPA and Rayon Vert.

    Honorable mention to Palate Wrecker, Le Freak, Hop Head Red and Double Stout. And Saison Diego. And Citra Session IPA.

    Did I mention I'm a huge Green Flash fanboy?

    Also, Citra Session needs to be bottled and canned (just clap your hands just clap your hands).

    Double Stout. I could drink that every day. Palate Wrecker is right behind.

    I would like to thank the original poster for this reminder that I need to buy more Green Flash.
    I will be checking to see what in the store is fresh later today.
