Sep 13, 2008 Peachy blonde, almost translucent, with a thin off-white head.
Resinous at first, then it went herbal, almost to the point of being medicinal (something I’ve picked up in a lot of really over-the-top IIPAs) but not enough to make me not like it. as it warmed it took more earthy tones and felt a bit more boozy.
From the few IPAs I’ve had from Port, the winning recipe hasn’t changed; robust malty backbone with honey sweetness and the hops are in full bloom with flowery flavors. And the bite really grips to the sides of your tongue. Very enjoyable.

Sep 12, 2008 Bottle thanks to Me, they just started distributing this in CO yesterday! pours a hazy amber/orange with a not so impressive head, diminishing off white, little to no lacing. Aromas of well hops of course, and a grapefruit growing grass. Flavor is a sticky mess of hoppy bitterness with bit of sweet malt. A beautifully balanced double IPA. I thank the people who decided it would be a great idea to broden the distribution level of lost abbey/port brewing!

Sep 7, 2008 An unclear amber beer with a lazing white head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of hops as well as notes of grass and grapefruit. The flavor is sweet with notes of grass and grapefruit, leading to a dry grassy and very bitter finish.

Sep 5, 2008 Really, the only thing that isn’t that good on this is the aroma. Little floral or citrus, mostly it just smells strong. The flavor however is all that is great about San Diego/SoCal IPAs. Very hoppy, crisp and tasty. Love it.

Aug 31, 2008 On tap at Lost Abbey before RBSG on 08/02/2008. Slightly hazy orange amber body with a small creamy off-white head. Big floral and citrus hop aroma. Big citrus and resiny hop flavor, very fresh. Medium body with moderate carbonation.

Cloudy dark brown color, white head. Sweet malty and hoppy scent. Sweet and bitter hoppy taste. Medium to smooth mouthfeel, high bitterness.

Aug 25, 2008 Beautiful smell, hops in every variety, citrus, pine, spices, and fruit. Appearance, dark ruby copper golden gorgeous. Nice white head. Flavor: pine hops and spicy hops. Palate is also full bodied and very bitter, dry bitter. Great beer. I do love hops a lot and this shows off some good ones but also almost over does it on the finish.

Aug 22, 2008 scent is full of floral hops. taste is very hoppy and has some alcohol taste as well. alcohol is still pretty well hidden given the fact that it is 10.5%. finish is smooth. I would purchase this again.
