MilkmanDan (1940), Eagan, Minnesota, USA Sep 23, 2007 Dusty peach. Huge citrus in the nose, grapefruit. Thick palate, quite creamy, big mouthfeel. Nice fruitiness up front, tart and citric, malty balance. Bit bready. Quite good. shadey (1496), Rochester, New York, USA Sep 22, 2007 22oz bottle acquired in trade. The pour is a bright melon orange with a thin white patchy film on top. Aroma is a very attractive resiny alpha hop. Flavor is fresh bitter and resiny. Full flavor piles bitterness on the tongue. Perhaps as this warms, more of the flavors will emerge. After a while the aroma is still nice but limited to bitter resiny hops. The flavor is still straight bitterness. This beer could really use some malt. georgekappus (296), Brookfield, Connecticut, USA Sep 21, 2007 Bottle. Pours light amber with a nice white head which leaves brussels lace clinging to the glass. The aroma first out of the fridge is very hoppy and floral. As it warms the smell of brown sugar becomes more apparent. The taste is sweet as it first hits the tongue and quite hoppy as it flows back on the tastebuds. Strong on the palate with a lasting malt flavor. Headbanger (1574), Aurora, Illinois, USA Sep 18, 2007 22oz bomber-Aroma of hops and more hops on a dark amber body with floaters. Taste of hops with more hops. great tastig IPA. shigadeyo (2210), Harrison, Ohio, USA Sep 17, 2007 Updated: Sep 18, 20079/17/2007: Port Brewing High Tide Fresh Hop I.P.A. has a transparent,
vibrant copper orange color with a long-lasting, billowing beige head and some foamy, fluffy lacing. There is a nice flurry of carbonation as well. The aroma is sweet citrusy and pine hops with some underlying toffee maltiness. It smells pretty bitter! A smooth malty sweetness is perfectly balanced by a moderate bitterness. The hop flavors include deep citrus (orange and grapefruit) and pine. This beer is strong and has a medium-full to full body. It is smooth and silky on the palate. This is pretty incredible IPA and that is simply wonderful to drink.
1 pint 6 fl. oz. bottle (7.0% Alc. by Vol.) from realale420. Thanks Brian! Rating #291 for this beer...
brianjames1 (322), Northridge, California, USA Sep 15, 2007 22oz bottel as well as on tap at Pizza Port in Carlsbad. Excellent IPA, hazy color probably due to all the yeasties. Bitter, excellent aroma. HumuloneRed (750), Portland, Oregon, USA Sep 9, 2007 22 oz. Botttle. This beer pours a slightly murky orange with a striking white thick head and sticky lacing.
The aroma is filled with pine, citrus, earth, and a sweet and fruity malt notes.
The flavor is has a huge hop flavor and bite. Then the malt comes to the rescue with some balance making this beer very drinkable. A well made beer is what it is.
jsh12bama (335), Alabama, USA Sep 7, 2007 Bottle courtesy of bonus from King G. Great beer. Another IPA that felt more like a IIPA. Great balance of malt and hops. Love the west coast hops!
