badgerben (3160), Blaine, Minnesota, USA May 9, 2008 Thanks to Stine for sharing. Reddish color with a thin head. Very hoppy aroma and a strong caramel presence. Not surprisingly, the citrus hops crush the flavor. Lots of grassy and fresh hop taste. Caramel malt. Delicous.
rkuhnel (1144), Eureka, California, USA Oct 13, 2008 From a 22 oz bottle I have no idea why this is called a triple red ale here when the bottle clearly says double red ale. Furthermore no where on this does it say Pizza Port...it says Port Brewing. With that out of the way it poured a copper red color with small off white head and light lacing. Nose is of very rich malts with some floral and pine hops. Rich and creamy mouthfeel. Flavor is heavy on the malts with good hop balance. Slightly bitter finish. Good brew and delightful to drink. WinoInTraining (29), Longmont, Colorado, USA Oct 10, 2008 Intense gobs of pine resin, rich malt. Its massive, mouth-coating, malterific. Almost too big i dare say. the malt does take over a bit. Palate is the same as the nose. big and and flabby to tell the truth. Decent Swolf3 (94), Elkton, Maryland, USA Oct 8, 2008 Bottle thanks to Hophead22, thanks. Poured deep red in color with nice off white head. Aroma is very malty with not much else going on. Taste is similar, and not balanced. Not pizza ports best. GMCC2181 (426), Bear, Delaware, USA Oct 8, 2008 Bottle shared by wolf. Damn the aroma smells like a malt bomb exploded into my glass. Dark red in color, average head. Taste is the same as the aroma, malt malty, and maltier. The description say hop, but they were not in this bottle. Not balanced at all. Not that enjoyable either. Texture is stout thick... Not bad but not great as well. Thanks wolf for sharing. Beaver (488), Fort Collins, Colorado, USA Oct 4, 2008 22 oz bottle. Pours a reddish brown with a creamy off white head that retains well and laces the glass.
The aroma is sweet caramel malts, melon, and piney grapefruity hops and a touch of alcohol.
The flavor is sweet caramel malts, pepper, alcohol, sour apples and tarry hops. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with a velvety finish.
Overall, almost an awesome beer. The flavor was a bit subdued and didn’t do it for me.
