Pizza Port Shark Attack Triple Red Ale

Brewed by Pizza Port (Solana Beach)
Style: American Strong Ale
Solana Beach, California USA

<b>In short: </b>Luscious caramelized body and good hop-bite. Very good beer.
<b>How: </b>Bottle 22oz dropped in my cooler by my buddy dmac. Drank fresh a few days later
<b>The look: </b>Cloudy redish-amber body topped by beige ring of foam
<b>In long: </b>Big rich and round body full of fruity caramel over toasted bread. Hints of red berries here and there. Really luscious caramelized body here. I liked it. A whole lot of resinous hops for an herbal/tea-like character balance it nicely. There’re probably tuning this recipe because I clearly remember not caring about it when I first had it a few months ago (boring sugary malt profile and brutal hops bite) but this bottle I’m rating was really good. Effective Shark Attack, no bite or amputation to report, but some ass was kicked.

Aroma is malt and cranberries, slight alcohol. Pours dark opaque reddish brown, no head. Flavor begins malty/Carmelly sweet and spicy. finishes with a dry hop throat. Malt is rich and alcoholy on the roof of the mouth, hops are intense pine and spice. There is also a nice sweet cranberry/brown sugar flavor in the middle of the palate. Nice balance between the intense malt and and hops. Medium body, medium-low to medium drinkability. This beer kicks you in the face, not for the faint of heart. Still, really enjoyable.

Aroma is citrus, caramel malting, piney, some bitterness and carbonation. This is definitely a b-wine. Taste is deeply caramel, lots of cloying sweetness, citrus, some bitterness. I also get a very slight touch of toastiness and soap. Very yummy. Alcohol, hops and cloying sweetness round out the palate.

Hazy deep amber with tiny off white head. Sweet and hoppy aroma with caramel notes. Sweet and hoppy flavor with hints of pine, caramel, grapefruit and toasted malt. Well balanced. Ends solid bitter.

Pours cloudy brown/amber. Aroma / taste is hoppy with light bitterness, (cheese/earthly like yeast presence), lightly malt with some caramel. Was not really impressed by it. Would try again and get a better opinion.

Amber, light reddish colour with a thin beige head. caramel and molasses sweet aroma with fruity and vanilla sweet notes and hints of hops and alcohol. Caramel sweet and hoppy, piney flavor with fruity notes.

Body is medium to full, texture is oily - oily, carbonation is soft - flat, finish feel is light to moderate alcoholic. Very nice balanced. (190608)

On draft at Lost Abbey. Appearance is clear dark amber hue, no noticeable head, minimal lacing. Smell is big caramel malts and toffee, big grassy hops, hint of alcohol heat. Taste is dominated by huge caramel malts and big piney hops, some subtle floral/grassy tones, toffee, citrus, finishes bitter with slight warming alcohol. Mouthfeel is medium-to-full-bodied, thick and creamy texture, moderate carbonation. Drinkability is high, this is a nicely balanced amber ale with big malt and hop presence (Malt/Hop Bomb!), alcohol is well masked, I’m a fan of Imperial Red Ales and could drink this one all night long!
