Pizza Port Shark Attack Triple Red Ale

I decided to track this down because I am really digging this style lately thanks to Yulesmith, Dead by Dawn, Gordon, and Red Devil. The color is no surprise, reddish-amber with almost no head. The intiial aromas are of pine needles, not cones, serious hops. There is a slight caramel aroma as well. The taste is a blast of green, leafy hops that I enjoy. I cannot seem to find the malt backbone to this beer, just blistering hops. There is some astringency in the mouthfeel that needles the palate. Overall, a nice flavor and aroma but a sipper due to the ABV/mouthfeel. Serving type: bottle Reviewed on: 03-19-2008 03:42:46
