Thick amber pour with a good white head. Nice hoppy and citris smell. Flavor is full of sweet hops and it has a nice bitter bite to it. Mouthfeel is nice and smooth. Overall, a good brew!

Pours a medium slightly hazy amber from 22 oz bomber. Forms medium size white foamy head. Aroma of ocean water, hops, slight pine resins with some citrusy malts. Flavour of dry pine resins with hopped caramel essence. It begs to be drank, a little grapefruits and hop resin makes this beer special. Wish I had a keg of it on tap.

Pours a golden loight brown with a quick fading white head. Aroma is of lots of hops, but not enoguht to kick you in the face. Taste is hoppy, but a bit watery and malty, not what I had expected.

A- Pours a golden amber hue with a nice 2 finger head that fades somewhat quickly down to a 1/2 finger and leaves lots of lacing. S- Piney sweet smell followed by grain. Citrusy fruit comes out slightly in the nose. T- Taste is definitely hopped up. Piney all the way through leading to a wheaty earthy taste at the end. M- Mouthfeel is fairly viscous and highly carbonated. D- This is a very drinkable IPA. Delicious, but not heavy enough to weigh you down right away.

so i finally got to have some of this while up in northampton ma. cant ever find it at home. very very awesome. im was super pleased and would love to be able to get this more in my own area of dwelling

Very very good IPA. Lots of different hops, but not too bitter, it’s a very smooth IPA. Another good offering from Pizza Port.

22 oz bottle

I picked this up on January on a trip to Seattle. It’s been in the fridge ever since then and seems to have held up quite well. If I could get this locally I would be a very happy camper. If you are ever sending bonus beers and happen to have this fresh and on hand don’t hesitate to send another bottle.

Aroma / Appearance - The carbonated peach body filtered through a fair amount of light but was not totally transparent. Above was a half finger eggshell head. The smell of freshly cut grass, resin and a snowy pine forest blended into a very solid combination of hops. The florally backgrounds were offset by a smooth maltiness. Overall this was bright without being aggressive.

Flavor / Palate - The first sip revealed a warm resiny impression. The creamy mouthfeel continued to yield a sweetness among the hops that made it very palateable. It was no problem at all to complete the bottle; in fact I was wishing it had been a 750 just to get that little extra more. The only thing to be aware of is the yeast in the bottom. This is not a filitered beer so if you are expecting one you’ll only end up with a cloud of yeast.

Not quite the overpowering hops of Hop-15 but still possesses the same amazing appearance (although slightly more subdued). Incredible canopy that doesn’t let go. Traditional flavors included (pine, citrus, malt for balance) but the portions seem higher than in other IPA’s I’ve sampled (woohoo!!!). Another good one from Port!!!
