Green Flash and Victory Share the Hops

Green Flash has been making waves amongst the local hop-heads with their West Coast IPA, and now they're unleashing a Barleywine, a Belgian-style Trippel, and an Imperial IPA.

I haven't had a chance to sit down and torture my liver with these bad boys yet, so I'll let the people at ratebeer.com speak for me until I've had a chance to sample them.

Note: The barleywine and Trippel were originally brewed as anniversary beers, so don't let the names throw you if you click on the links.

Also returning today after at least a year of absence is Victory's Hop Wallop. This 8.5%abv IPA will certainly give your head a wallop if you're not careful. Regarding the flavor: It's been over a year since I had it, but I seem to recall it being chock full of bitterness, but lacking in the juicy aroma typical of a left coast IPA. I'll try one ASAP and see if my recollections are accurate.
