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.

On tap at the brewery 07-10-09. Pours bright orange amber, with very little head. Solid floral hops aroma with lemon, orange and a touch of honey . Interesting balance with nice malty sweetness, then a lingering bitter finish.

What a nice DIPA. Floral hops, not too grapefruity. Just the way I like it. 10% alcohol.

Bottle. Poured bright amber body with a white head initially large but subsided quickly. Redolent of grapefruit, gummy bear sweetness, licorice, pine resin, strong caramel, slightly floral, and strongly alcoholic. Flavor is grapefruit, orange, caramel, raisin, pine, slightly earthy, and a very strong alcoholic finish. Not an overly heavy beer but almost astringent alcohol content makes it very unbalanced, otherwise its good. Not sure how this beat out Pliny or Boundary Bay for alpha king though.

The aroma about solidified that I was going to like this from the start, with citrusy hops that lead into the full fresh cone-like aroma. The flavor is fresh and hoppy with enough malt to keep it nice. The flavor hints slightly at alcohol and I’d like a little less body to bump it up in score.

Hazy dark orange decent beige head that fades soon. Aroma is bitter pine hops and molasses, smells aged and more like an American strong. Taste is bitter pine with alcohol and medium carbonation. Very bitter and barely enough malt is present to support it, also honey. Finishes with dry bitterness and alcohol through the nose.

The final bomber from Barrios’ Massechussetts trip. Pours a semi-hazy orange with fair ring of offwhite head. Citrusy hop profile, with lots of honey. And some alcohol spice in the flavor, but not in a burning sense. Nice, lingering resiny bitter finish. Good beer for sure, but i think this might be a touch overrated, or this bottle has a little age.

Pours a beige head with legs and an amber body with golden highlights. Smells of caramelized malts, floral and resin hops. Flavor is strong with caramelized malts and resin hops. Finish is floral hops and residual sweetness.
