Translucent, magnifying orangey copper with a thick, café frothed and orange tinted head. Aroma rings with honeydew and lemon grass, freshly cut after a mid-summer rain. It’s timed perfectly for the season. Sweet orange crème toffee crests on the aromatic ridge. Bitter peaches trollop with maple covered grapefruit. Peaches, amaretto and balsa wood interweave. Honeyed marigolds and tinctured carbonation ride a horizontal line across the tongue. A gentle, grassy ridge cuts sweet bitterness to the edge. Thanks for the 750-ml. bottle, tpkenned!

Nov 19, 2008 <b>7/28/2007</b>: Pizza Port Swami’s IPA has a very sugary aroma. The appearance is unfiltered/cloudy and amber in color. It has a sugary caramel maltiness with LOTS of citrus bitterness in the flavor. Medium to medium-full body. This is a pretty big beer that is good, but a bit disappointing. I was hoping for more complexity or something else considering this is a Pizza Port offering.<br /><br />
<i>Sample from 750 mL corked and caged bottle (7.4% alc. by vol.) shared at the "Columbus Tasting: Ate, now with gramatical errors" event. Thanks! Rating #125 for this beer...</i><br />

Aug 6, 2008 From tap at Solana Beach. Pours clear golden orange with a fully diminished white head. Peach and grapefruity hops aroma. Flavour is sweet grapefruity. Mild peach accent too. Fruity and dry bitter finish.

Jul 30, 2008 Pours hazy gold with a pillowy white head. Clean, fresh hop aroma with lots of citrus. More grapefruit and some resin in the taste, with maybe some strawberry. Bit of earthy malt to check the hops. Resiny finish. Yum.
