From the brewer

The Green Elephant is big, strong, and green- organic that is. A relative of the American IPA, the Green Elephant takes big hop flavor to the next level. Brewed with 100% organic malt, Cascade, Amarillo and Ahtanum hops, this is a unique and beautiful creature. The Green Elephant’s smooth and subtle malt character gives way to a bold, aggressive hop flavor. But be warned, this is one elephant that can sneak up on you.

Who's been drinking this

Lighter IPA, not as strong on the smell or finish. Good complexity to hops.
The weirdest thing about this beer was the acrid / musty / pine cleanser paradox of a fragrance it had. The flavor was just as bipolar: at once light but also resinous and bitter. Ick.
