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.

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.

From the Bottle at Tom’s Ultimate Glasgow Tasting, Blackfriars 01/12/2007 Very hoppy pine aroma. Golden coloured and a little hazy in appearance. Very hoppy with some dryness in a crisp and bitter finish.

This is simply a beautiful beer. Impossible to over rate. Unique combination of hops come down like a velvet hammer. Delish from sip to swallow.

Amber with nice head. Beautiful floral, citrus, and somewat grassy hop aroma. Very smooth but very powerful floral, resiny, and citrus hop taste. Very subdued bitterness. Showcases the hops extremely well.

smells real sweet and columbus hoppy like a typical southern cali ipa. really sweet ale, a little hop bitterness and sweet hop finish was way too sweet for me, couldn’t really taste the hops that much just malt and hop bitterness and alcohol. was expecting way more hop flavors, pretty much a basic double ipa to me.

Bottle shared at Muckfest 2009 in Lancaster Ohio. Golden amber pour. Aroma of pine and oranges. Flavor was a hop whop of pine, oranges, lemon, and honey. Very bitter finish. Not a fan of IPA’s.
