Commercial Description:
Is it really safe to paddle out in our waters? It’s impossible to know for sure. What we do know is that this is an incredibly distinctive and bold American red ale that attacks your taste buds with lethal amounts of hops, which are balanced by a boat load of Crystal malt. If none of this fazes you, then maybe swimming in the shark filled waters is exactly where you belong. We’ll see you in the lineup!

Mmm.. very delicious. Dark copper red color, thin head that somehow leaves decent lacing on the glass. Surprisingly low carbonation, almost like it was tapped from a wooden cask. Lots of caramel, apricots, prunes and fruit flavors with a strong citrus and pine resinous hop finish. Very nice brew.

22oz bottle. Nice reddish amber body, relatively clear (a lovely color), with a ring of bone-white head that laces lightly and sparingly. The sediment in the bottom leads me to think this is a bottle-conditioned beer. It smells like a malty home-brew, caramel, fresh-baked black bread, and floral hops. There’s a touch of pine, estery booze, and roasted malt. Mouth is medium-full, rather flat with almost no carbonation--a touch syrupy. Malty sweet, but pleasingly so with caramel, black bread (malts you might expect of a Maibock). This is followed by a healthy dose of hops for a bitter finish of pine and grapefruit rind, and the aforementioned malts roasted. It’s quite delicious in a young, unrefined way and could probably benefit greatly from a year of cellaring, which would basically involve developing the malts and lessening the hops. It would be more pleasant and refined, but not much more delicious.

Getting notebook online. Bottle. Lots of citrus and pine on the nose. Very sweet flavors, orange, pine, a hint of caramel. Sticky mouthfeel with a bitter finish. Overall a real good beer.

Bomber poured a clear dark reddish amber with a lasting creamy amber head. Aromas of carmel, earthiness, citrus and a hint of pine. Palate was medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of carmel, orange, pine, light earthiness and a hint of grassiness with a smooth lingering moderatly bitter finish.

Bottle. Poured a red murky brownish color with no head. Huge sweet hop nose Mouthful was a bit thin , but flavor was not. Big hops with some sweetness and a strong bitter finish. Flavor is a bit murky, like the color of the beer.

Poured a deep hazy red/amber with a nice white head. Aroma of fresh hops is what jumped out to first, pine, and some caramel malts. Flavor to me was a bit sweet but was followed up by some nice hops. I liked this one.

From a 22 oz bottle I have no idea why this is called a triple red ale here when the bottle clearly says double red ale. Furthermore no where on this does it say Pizza Port...it says Port Brewing. With that out of the way it poured a copper red color with small off white head and light lacing. Nose is of very rich malts with some floral and pine hops. Rich and creamy mouthfeel. Flavor is heavy on the malts with good hop balance. Slightly bitter finish. Good brew and delightful to drink.
