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.

22 ounce bottle split in pint glass. Hazy orange with alsting flat head and some lace. Pungent citrus pine hop aroma. Some ripe fruit sweetness, peach/apricot perhaps, followed by strong bracing hop bitterness. Lingering citrus peel bitterness. Full body medium carbo. Over-the -top to the point of novelty. But still enjoyable.

I am starting to like port brewing more and more. This is a very good transition to summer from all the stouts I’ve been drinking this winter. I don’t usually go for the ipa’s but this one doesn’t have the bad bitter after palate. Nice hoppy taste with the big beer bang. Good job guys!!!!

Hop bomber! Thanks riversideAK for hooking me up with this Hop bomber! Cloudy copper color, very little head. Nice piney hop nose, a bit of sweet maltiness underneath. Medium bodied, pretty smooth but just a bit sticky, medium carbonation. Good hop flavor, not great but OK. Huge hop bitterness.

Grapefruit hop nose. Good ass beer. Not bitter in the least. Crisp carbonated front end, citrus hops throughout, grassy, pine. A bit syrupy. Flavors don’t linger too much. Enjoyed this on my one year Ratebeer anniversary. Did not disappoint.

a buckeyesammy pick. great lacing and a hazy light amber. grassy and pithy and it smells a bit like a farm. the only thing lacking is the mouth feel. amassing top-notes of citrus and funk with a moderate bitter finish. was expecting more pine but it is a great concept and well executed.

Bottle. Looks like honey with carbonation (not that viscose, though). Aroma is of hops. Nothing special. What’s special, though is the flavor of hops and grapefruit. Flavor is long and hoppy. Very nice.

Bottle: The best one so far on our RateBeeriansa session in San Salvador. Complex, grassy, hoppy, floral and overall just great.
