WOW! Best beer of the day. Splendid hazy orange pour with a big nose of hop, spice and caramel malt. Taste was a bit grapefruit, grass and sweet malts. The blend was perefectly balanced. The dry finish left me wanting more. DAMN IT! Why didn’t I buy two of these?

Served on tap at the San Diego Brewers Guild Festival 2010.The appearance is a crystal clear golden brown. The aromas are full of bitter hops with a good amount of flower characteristics. The flavors are very hoppy with a lot of dry grapefruit and orange zest. The mouth is full and a touch syrupy. Another tasty super hoped brew from the Port family.

On tap at Pizza Port Carlsbad. Pours a hazy light amber with a 2 finger cream head and nice lacing. Nose is all pine and tart citrus. Taste is tart yellow grapefruit and caramel malt with a bitter resin finish. Medium mouth feel. Hophead’s dream. Great beer!

XBF06: Cloudy orange with a large white head, rich pine and spices in the aroma, full bodied, oily texture, mild carbonation, starts and ends very bitter. A bold yet pleasant beer.

Lightly hazed orangey amber. Intense spicy hop aroma, plenty of grapefruit. Intense spicy hop flavor, lots of grapefruit, mildly tropical undertones, mildly biscuity tempering malt but hops are on full show.

On tap at Dr. Bill & Steiny’s beer bash, this hop monster was very tasty. Lots of citric hop flavor with good malts backing them up.

Draft. Bronze beer with a nice white head. Sweet malt aroma thats dominated by hops - big hop aroma with grapefruit and summer fruits. Big grapefruit/summer fruit flavor with lingering grapefruit bitterness. Some pine notes, but more fruity hops. Rich body and alcohol well hidden. Delicious.

hazed bronze, lacy off-white head. nose of tangerine with a touch of sweet pine. spicey hop flavors with astringent bitterness. grilled orange touches. the spicy christmas pine flavors are quite nice and a nice welcome to autumn...the balance here is nice as well with caramel painted citrus. the bitterness is firm, spice is nice, and citrus caramel rounds things out. i dig it.

GABF 2007. A golden beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet and very grassy and also with notes of the alfaacid. The flavor has notes of grass, grapefruit, spices, and hops - going overboard and lending the beer an acidity from the hops and showing off the alfaacids.

Pour is nice golden yellow with a dense white head...smell is citric and grapefruit with lots of piney resin character...taste is not as overpoweringly hoppy as I smelled...nice and sweet with a clean crisp bitter finish...
