Pizza Port Frank Double IPA

Formerly brewed at Pizza Port (Carlsbad)
Style: Imperial/Double IPA
Carlsbad, California USA

Pours a cloudy dark orange with red to the edges. Nice white head. Aroma is sweet and citrusy. Lemons, grapefruit, and sour apple. Flavor is a hoppy start, fades a little, just to have a hoppy finish. Very nice brew, thanks to JohnC for this one!

Hooooo...Nice orange ale with little head. Pleasant pinhey aroma with honeysucklys. Sweet malt and hops, a bit of licorice in mouth, with resinous hops and citrus. Did I say: HOOOOOOOOOOO! Hooooooooooo! Excellent stuff. Bottle sampled with TiggMtl, MartinT, muzzlehatch and Rastacouere.

Beautifully clouded peach gold color with a massively thick and frothy bone white head adorns the top and stays put for what seems like forever. Mega sheeting lace sticks all over the glass. Awesome sight of an I2PA! Quenchingly large hop nose, wowzaa, hugely oily, fleshy, tangy, sour, and fresh yellow grapefruit citrus and peach flesh. Dry pine, dark orange, and slight candied sweetness play underneath. Beautiful smellin’ hop nose oh my... Taste is a eager diplay of hops, wonderfully citric without a ton of bitterness or over souring. Brillantly balanced, juicy, and zippy with orange, peach, nectarine, tangerine, grapefruit, and a pleasing dry herbal pine and biscuity finish that floats off leaving left over citrusy pulpy things and grassy herbs staying put across the palate. Hops dance and take center stage, but yet there is the behind the scenes malting keeping a fine balance of caramel sweetness and chewyness underneath. Very clean and respectable to the buds. Yum times two. Feel is clean, hoppy, fresh, oily, pulpy, and full, I swear I was picking bits of hop leaves and grapefruit pulp out of my teeth. Lightly bittering and sour, just enough give and just enough pucker. I love when that happens. Perfect! Drinkability is sublime, its great balance and clean but juiced up pulpy profile just begs for some major downability. Plus its so damn good! The perfect Double IPA.

Orange color, small frothy head. Super fresh cascade hops nose - leads to a great hoppy and dry almost dusty taste that lasts ultra long. I love it. Thanks a lot my dearest JoeVEEEEEE!

Thanks to Footbalm for the sample. Ever so slightly chill hazed orange golden color dense thick medium sized head. Fruity, hoppy slightly floral aroma. Cascade comes to mind. Real nice and interesting. Some yeast in there, doughy. Body is full, slight syrup texture a bit chewy. Flavor is to die for. Sweet luscious hop flavors, fruit, bubblegum, peaches and more. Overall a top notch brew that is more interesting than most Double IPA’s.

Outstanding cloudy orange-amber beer with a creamy broken-white colored froth. The smell of it is very elegant and fruity. It has hints of soap; citrus, beewax, raspberry’s, fresh stonefruits, roses, nuts and honey. The taste is totaly deffrent from the nose, it has hints of nutoil, caramelized malts, apricot-brandy, pancakes and lemongrass. in the afthertaste you have a massive mouth attack that gives a pefect balance between fruitness, roundness and complex bitterness of fine hops. this is a great brew with loads of caracter. I like to thank EYEDRINKALE for this elegant powerbeer. This is just great stuff.

Poured a hazy orange with a mediun white head. Aroma is hops, hops, and umm hops. Grapefruit and peach. Flavor goes from sweet to fruity sweet to fruity hops to bitter hops. Very nice. Good balance that doesn’t rip at my tongue. Light alc. warming at the end. Medium bodied. Close to syrupy but not yet there.

Heavy Cs send waves of citrusy fruit rolling to the resinous sands...A few berries can’t escape from the Hop Wallop-like grapefruity assault and even unearth some herbal leaves dancing in its undertow...Green bitterness foams ashore and some wide-eyed surf dudes appear to be licking it with drunken fervor...
