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!

From a bottle purchased at Newport Pizza and Ale House--Poured a rich, crisp red body. Hoppy presence. Mildly cloying but freshly gripping and malty. Very worthy monstrously hopped hophead nectar. Bold and a good representation of the double red stylistic. Yum!

Pours a dark amber. The aroma is pretty caramel-ly and hops. The flavor is pretty heavily alcohol and isn’t shy about. I think I’m actually getting burning sensation down my throat. It’s really syrupy sweet too. Kind of annoying. It’s all right.

The interesting characteristic of this beer is the chocolate both in the aroma and flavor. It mixes w/ the hops and creates a very odd...thing. Aroma: moderately hoppy, sweet, boozy, and chocolate toffee. Full bodied but a little bit sticky. Wow, really chocolaty. Hops are floral.

Pours a syrupy reddish amber. Aroma is mostly malts - bread, caramel, burnt sugar. Some citrus/floral hops present as well. The flavor is pretty bitter at first but fades out into a nice sweet and sour malty finish. The palate is thick and syrupy. Solid brew.

Poured from a 22 oz. bottle. Transparent, syrupy amber, topped with a milky film. Sugar cookie and burnt caramel aroma stands out. Proud assertive malts. Canned mandarin oranges and pineapple, pear, and basic heat follow through with some hoppiness and heft. Lick of perfume. Flavor is chunky and bold with some grapefruit acidity washing through the ruddy graham cracker and caramel brownie malts. A big, confident, sticky take on this impish style. Palate is heavy, and very syrupy, full and lightly carbonated with a slick feeling of crystal malts that polishes it too cleanly. Honey and citrus sugars finish in a balanced, somewhat resigned conclusion. Syrupy, lacking in dank bitterness, and a mite cloying with that heavy crystal impartation, but never seeming too forced or contrived. A strong example of a weak concept. Thanks Andy!

22oz bottle bonused from justin. thanks man!..... poured a dark amber brown with a wispy off-white head..... aroma of caramel malt, little rye, and not so much in the hop arena. i was surprised to find the aroma more malt-favored..... flavor had a bitter pine hop profile and accented to a lesser extend with a caramel malt backbone. a little boozy.

zBottle sampled with Mad_indian. Pours deep amber with a small off-white head. Aroma of caramel, but mostly floral and pine. The flavor is smooth, caramel malts, well hidden alcohol, and a beautiful dose of bitter hops in the finish. Good body, great brew.

Q:What would happen if standout Port Brewing brewed a Lagunitas-style ASA?

A: It would be just a shade better than your average Lagunitas ASA, but nothing better than that. Tons of hops atop a metric assload of crystal malt is only so interesting even in the best of cases....
