| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Oct 5, 2007 This is a profound experience. Incredible aroma. Very nice hops. Strong flavors. For someone like me, the Pizza Port mystique has been allusive. And when I got my chance to taste, the hype lived up to its reputation. This is a powerful IPA without any sense of over powering sweet aftertaste. Lovely. aspidites (1274), manteca, California, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Mar 11, 2005 Buttloads of hops with a huge malt body. Nice bread and fruit notes from the malt with good hop resin extremely comple hops of many varieties floral robust and oily. huge bitterness that rounds out with a huge malt complexity. A great apetif for hopheads. wunderbier (1271), Tampere, Finland

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 3, 2005 25.7 oz - Hop blast hits the nose with flowery resin. Carmel color brew with huge cream colored head that stuck around for a while then dissapates to leave great lacing. Taste is hops of course, sticky resin filed mouth that is surprisingly mild for what the aroma promises. This isn’t a bad thing since it makes the brew very smooth and drinkable.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jul 10, 2003 I was expecting this beer to come a get me, 15 IBU off scale, wow. Then I got a whiff of the hops, smelled right, I fastened my seatbelt. Dark colored, muddy brown, I don't know what that means. I put the key in the ignition, and squirrel ran out from under the hood, that was it. Flavor was okay, but not that memorable. Pretty sweet actually. Finish was moderately bitter and sweet. Thanks TAR for these race tickets. JaBier (1261), Capital City, Ohio, USA
| 4.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Mar 23, 2009 22oz bottle. Cloudy copper/amber pour with a thin off-white head. Very crisp hop aroma with a bit of malt. Incredibly citrusy hop flavor with malt and some alcohol in the finish. I expected this to be good, but it was incredible.

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 7, 2007 A solid 4. Greate rich gold, small which head, lots of lacing, lovely. Nose announces lots and lots of hops. Maybe unfocused ... hard for me to be sure which hops were present, because, of course, almost all of them were. Taste is balanced malt, caramel, pine tar and citrus hops beyond belief, nice long bitter finish. This is the kind of beer I really like. Nit picking that kept it from going over a 4 — maybe a smaller range of hops would have produced better focus, and I prefer a beer at less than 10.5% alcohol. Hard to consider this a session beer, or even a safe beer with a long slow barbecue dinner. Nice, very nice. durhambeer (1225), Durham, USA

Aromas of tropical fruits such as mangos and papaya. Flavor showed bitter hops, caramel, grapefruit peel, and present alcohol. Waxy palate. Good stuff.
