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.

650 mL. Pours a hazy orange with a two-finger, eggshell, rocky head with great retention and leaves excellent lacing. Incredible aroma of carrot cake (YES!), gummi worms, clover honey, citric hops. Taste is spicy citrus and piney hops with nutty bitterness showing through. Creamy on the palate. Overall, this is just a very well executed but also very fresh DIPA. Awesome.

This bright orange beer poured with a decent beige head a a wonderful floral aroma. There is a flavorful caramel malt base that is hearty enough to compete with the intense hop bitterness. It all comes together very nicely to provide a delicious glass of beer with a spicy carbonated finish.

Pours a pleasing orange which I don’t often see-a nice change. Aroma is strongly hoppy, but there’s notes of citrus as well (some orange, which was a pleasant surprise). Flavor is very similar, really bringing out the hops in a flattering light. I think that this tastes pretty close to what you’d get if you made tea out of hops.

Bottle from evil stepdad.Hazy orange with a small white head. Mainly grape hops, maybe they are just overpowering alot of the more sublte notes but i didnt find it as complex as the name suggests. Great balanced flavor, clean and fresh palate with a very solid bitterness. Here the hops really shine!

Poured cloudy orange with lasting white head with a good lacing, nose full of grapefruit and citrusy hops. Thick on the palate and bursting with hops at the beginning, and finishing with a nice bitterness that could be a little more. Overall quality DIPA

From a bottle poured dark amber with a lot of head. Nice strong hoppy flavor with a lingering finish.

22 oz bottle pours a cloudy orange with a nice white head. Weak hoppy nose. Flavor is bitter and alcohol with some malty sweetness. Very stringent alcohol ending. Still a nice Imperial IPA.

65 cl bottle at my garage-tasting May 8th. Light amber color, nice off-white head. Aroma is pine hops and malt - lovely! Flavor is malty, but most of all hops. The bitterness and the alcohol makes it a bit unbalanced, but still a very fine beer.
