Pizza Port Shark Attack Triple Red Ale

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

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.

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!

Bottle courtesy DarkElf. Pours caramel with a thin white head. Smells rosey with some sweet malty hints. Tastes chewy with a decent resiny finish.

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

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?

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.

22oz bomber. Good floral aroma. Deep amber body with thin birge head. Pour look little flat. Good fruity plumbs but near the finish the sweet carmel malt was present. A moderate dry bitter and caramel aftertaste left on palate. good brew.

pour a really dark rich amber or cherry stained wood with a soft sponge-like light beige head. lots of web-like lacing on the glass. aromas of caramel, malted grain, light pine/fresh rosemary similar to standing near it in the garden after you just accidentally stepped on it, grapefruit, orange, floral, earthy and grassy as well. the palate is surprisingly NOT cloyingly sweet! it does seem to sweeten a bit as it warms but at that point it doesn’t matter since it’s nearly gone... the flavor is spicy and stingy both from alcohol and hops. pine, floral, citrus and copious amounts of nondescript hops thrown in on top of a woody, caramel-y malt backbone. medium to full body leaves a slight residue on the lips. this goes down way too easily at 9.2%...
