Commercial Description:
First brewed in 2002 to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the original Pizza Port location in Solana Beach, we searched high and low and combined 15 of our favorite hops which were added every 15 minutes to the boil. Somewhat darker than other Double IPA style beers, our beer oozes the hop goodness of pine needles, freshly squeezed citrus and ground spices which are only moderately tempered by a sweet malt finish. Thankfully, for all of us hopheads, we have decided to brew this beer more than once a year. Look for Hop 15 to make appearances from time to time when space permits us to brew this, one of our favorite ales.

BottlePours a hazy golden with a good lasting white head. The head is a touch creamy and fails to lace. Has a wonderful hoppy aroma of citrus and pine. Has a good acrbination and an awesome mouthfeel. The hoppiness is alive in the flavor, my tongue is going crazy. Has a medium body. This is blended great and tends to hide the alcohol well. Has a great finish. From opening to finish this is one awesome beer.

22 oz. bottle from South Bay. Pours dark orange, exactly what you would expect from a DIPA. Heavy hop aroma. Notes of pine and fresh grass with some pineapple. Taste is a bit disappointing; more sweet than citrusy. I had hoped for a big pineapple or grapefruit flavor but I’m not getting it. Finish is moderately bitter and very sticky (which I like). Great, but not as great as expected.

Pour is a cloudy orange with no head at all. Aroma is some melon with some clean pine. Flavor starts out sweet then follows with some grapefruit and honey. An abundance of hoppyness is left on the tounge as this goes down. Alcohol is no where to be found which makes it all the more drinkable. A sweet but well made beer.

A nice honey orange colored brew with almost no head. Aroma wafts from the glass in a sweet citrus floral. A closer sniff brought some nice grapefruit and some funkiness. Flavor is big grapefruit with that funk. The grapefruit brings a big tart bite and there is gobs of caramel but they only partially balance. A peppery spiciness adds some interesting complexity and it compliments the alcohol warming nicely. There is no carbonation noticed and the feel is medium. This is a top quality beer that has so much to offer. Great flavor and so unique and interesting!

On tap at Boho. Pours a hazy golden orange with a rocky white head. Aroma is fresh, grapefruit and pineapple, with floral and pine notes and hints of honey. Flavor is intensely hoppy. Lot’s of pine, lots of bitterness, lots of everything! Has a decent malt backbone and is full bodied and oily. Carbonation is moderate. A long lasting dry bitter finish. Very refreshing for how big it is and no alcohol detected. Fantastic stuff!

Cloudy dark orange with a small tan head. The aroma is of grapefruit, sweet caramel, alcohol, peach, pineapple, and melon. Tastes almost flat with sweet caramel that makes it very smooth on the palate. Filling, bitter hop ath the end with flavors of pineapple, peach, and orange. Very sweet and bitter with low carbonation. Nice beer.
