Port Brewing High Tide Fresh Hop IPA

Large white head, excellent retention, starts out normally then turns into a rocky inviting lump. Lacing is coating. Clear gold color. Fruity nose of citrus, grapefruity and peachy. Medium bodied, lightly oily on the palate. Pleasent fruit flavors, citrus, nicely tropical and melony with some caramel maltiness hanging in there. An almost dry fruity finish, good hop bite. Thanks to dirty martini and SDbruboy for bombers of this groovy elixer. Thanks guys!

Thanks to hellbilly for this treat! pours gold and hazy with a small amount of lacing, and short lived head. Nice grapefruit & citrus aroma. fresh hop flavor with traces of malts. flavorful yeast sediment in the bottom of the glass. sweet mouth-feel bittersweet finish. nice balance!

Shared by Crizay. Golden yellow pour with a small white head. Aroma of sticky hops, grapefruit and pine. Fresh hop flavor and a bit of malt to back it up. Good body and mouthfeel. Nice, clean IPA.

Thanks to WeeheavySD for this one. Pours out a cloudy light orange color with a two to three finger thin and foamy head. Aroma is of pine and citrus hops. Taste is nice and hoppy with citrus and pine hops coming through, not many malts flavors going on, maybe a slight backbone. Nice bitter bite comes through on the finish. Solid...

Pours out a cloudy golden IPA. Great hoppy taste, not too much. Smooth finish. A very tasty drink-able IPA.

Thanks to dirty martini. Orange pour, small white head. Aroma is awesome huge citrus hops, orange and grapefruit. Flavor is same citrus hops. A big fresh leafy teast. Bitterness is semi high and works well with this basially hop juice. Thin mouthfeel and low on malts but high on carbonation. One-dimensional but it is what it is a straight IPA.

22 oz. bottle. Poured hazy orange with fluffy white head. Extensive lacing. Fresh cut oranges and lemons in the nose. Sharp, bitter finish. Very good, but not quite as good as other harvest ales.

Bomber tasted December 9th.

Pours a fairly light gold with a nice white head that fades fairly slowly and leaves a rich foamy lace along the sides of the glass. Huge candied grapefruit aroma, immensely juicy, just the faintest hint of skunk on the early pre-sip . Flavor is pretty straight-forward; no malt presence to speak of here, just the bittering grapefruit rind hops which come in best late. That’s fine, but it leaves the first half of the flavor profile tasting rather mild and watered down. Mouthfeel is slightly on the thin side, adding to the watered-down sensation.

I’d like to try this one fresh on tap. Here in the bottle, a couple of months old at least, it’s not as exceptional as I might have hoped.
