Port Brewing Wipeout IPA

Great old stand-by reviewed at Lost Abbey. Appearance is a translucent dark yellow hue, thin layer of white head, light lacing on the glass. Smell is clean and crisp bread malts, light citrus hops, subtle aromas but well-balanced. Taste is initially characterized by pine and citrus hops, some hints of grass and pine, background flavor of pale malts, finishes bitter with slight alcohol warming. Mouthfeel is medium-bodied, oily and slick texture, mild carbonation. Drinkability is high, an amazing single IPA with a great SoCal style, the hops are well-balanced with malts and do not overwhelm, very "sessionable"... I could drink this one all night long.

Citrus Hoppiness Dominates. This is the epitome of a west coast IPA. Fruity tones combine with a soft maltiness to add some balance.

Shared this beer with my neighbor. A good citrus-y aroma and a very pleasant and hoppy flavor.

Hazy orange amber with active light head. Smell is a nice range of fragrant hops with pine and a tiny bit of carmel malts. Flavor is noticably shallow. Finish is bitter and fresh. I prefer IPAs with more malt balance.

At Lost Abbey and Pizza Port Carlsbad. Pours clear and golden orange with a lacing white head. Peach fruity and light orange fruity hops aroma. Dry hoppy and mild caramel malty for base flavour. Fruity hoppy and light spiced flavour with a solid bitterness following. Ends dry and fruity hoppy, light burn in the far finish.

Bottle. Pours amber with decent head. Hops, hops, hops. In aroma, in flavor, in finish. Nice west coast IPA

Bottle. Pours a clear dark amber with a white head that dissipates quickly. Big bitter hops aroma with sweeter citrus notes. Taste is crisp and very bitter, lots of hops, with an herbal hint. Lingering bitterness. Very refreshing and tasty.

Bomber. Lightly hazy orange pour. Strong bitter hops aroma with pine and citrus. Insanely hoppy flavor burns the tongue a bit. Grassy, citrusy, tart. A very tasty beer for sure, but not a lot of balance.
