Jul 31, 2008 Pours a cloudy medium brown with a thin beige head and nice lacing. Aroma is medium sweet, grapefruit, caramel and pine. Flavor is big grapefruit, caramel and pine. Full body, sticky texture. Long big bitter finish. Simple but lovely!

Jul 26, 2008 Ok, the label says double, the example picture on RateBeer says Double, yet I am entering in a rating for "Triple Red Ale?" WTF!
Anyway, if Hop 15 had special relations with Shark Bite Red, and had a baby, it would be Shark Attack Double Red Ale.

Jul 22, 2008 Bottle purchased @ Pizza Port, Solana Beach. This has to be one of the most interesting things I’ve ever tasted. Pours a very deep red with a small and quickly-dissipating white head. The aroma is heavy malt with hop notes detectable as well. Taste is vinious, with detectable malt and dark fruit with a hop finish. What an interesting, interesting beer....and a wonderful beer.

Jul 21, 2008 What a weird beer, but damn good. Pours the darkest of reddish/caramel color with a small head. Aromas are very faint...malt and hops. Flavor is sweet and malty with a nice coating of hops. I really like this beer. Thanks Joey at Southbay Drugs for recommending this!

Jul 16, 2008 One word ...YUCK !!
Amber with thin fast fading beige head.
Alcoholic cyrstal malt nose, light hops.
Starts sweet, then some hops, which are immediately overshadowed by a harsh alcohol bite.
Unpleasant lasting bitter end.
Rough and unfinished like a poor quality barleywine

Jul 15, 2008 Bottle, from Whole Foods. Pours a deep red amber with small beige head. Aroma is full of pine and malt with hints of other hop flavors to come, very lovely and very strong. Flavor is bitter and potent with alcohol and hop flavors. Some sweetness is present towards the end with evident crystal malt but the woody hops dominate. Finish is long and balanced by sweetness and bitterness. This one went down far too quickly for such a potent ale, a tribute to the elegance of it’s flavors...a strong word for a such a big beer. Time to go back and get more, what the hell was I thinking?

Jul 13, 2008 Bomber from South Bay Drug - as SA Double Red Ale. Reddish amber color with a foamy beige head. Deep roasted malt aroma with hints of hop to come. Medium plus body with creamy carbonation. Flavor is red/roasted caramel malt with a heck of a lot of hop. Heat at 9.2%? What heat. Awesome brew. Finish is slightly sweet, but with the abundance of hop, it’s hardly noticeable.
