Hoppy Beer for the Summertime

I love hoppy beer in the summertime. I found a new one: West Coast IPA from Green Flash Brewing based in San Diego, California. The first sip was almost two hoppy, too overpowering; but the more I drank it the more I loved the different flavors. They describe it as "extravagantly hopped." I couldn't agree more.

They used Simcoe for its unique fruitiness and grapefruit zest, Columbus for a strong hop pungency, Centennial for pine and citrus notes, and Cascade for floral aroma.

Columbus and Centennial are the two dominant flavors when it first hits your tongue but then the Simcoe and Cascade add to the mix. It's aroma is pure grapefruit zest. Delightful. By the way, don't want to sound more knowledgeable than I am. If they didn't say which hops they used I wouldn't have been able to tell you.
