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.

BIG HOPS! Aroma hits you as soon as the bottle is open. Piney in nature. Lots of lingering bitterness with a finishing grapefruit taste.

bomber courtesy of fordest! This is a total HOP bomb. Truly excellent IIPA. Aromas of apricot, spices and citrus. I wish I could buy this beer locally, b/c I would regularly. Pours a wonderful deep golden amber with minimal head. Great flavor from top to bottom.

Bottle thanks to Ditmier!. Pours an orangish copper with a touch of a frothy white head that leaves a touch of lacing on the glass. Aromas grapefruit rinds, some flowery fruit and caramel malts with a bit of a pine bite to it. . This is really nice. The malt and hops are in perfect balance... there is a wonderful caramel body that mixes just in complete harmony with the strange flowery fruits..I cant put my finger on them but damn is this good.

660 ml bottle. 10.0%. Finland. AW09. Hazy amber colour. HOPPY aroma. Flavour is also very hoppy and bitter with sweet caramel finish. Refreshingly carbonated. Great!

I was stunned...The alcohol, at 10%, was not overstated. The hop character was perfectly balanced in both aroma and on the palette. I feel fortunate to have been able to experience this...A great DIPA.

Pours a cloudy burnt orange with small quickly dissipating head. Smells promising with a strong presence of pacific northwest hops. Pineapple, grapefruit, pine and some caramel malt are all present in the aroma. The flavor is similar, with a lot of citrus and sweet fruit, balanced well with the malt, nice and bitter too. Full bodied and lightly carbonated, this is the definition of a well crafted double IPA.

Bottle at Sorbon in June 09. A little hazy orange color with rather small white head. Fantastic aroma of ananas, tropical fruits, citrus and hops. Balanced, alcohol was nicely hidden. Long bitter finish. Very good beer!

Shared a 22oz bomber. Pours a delicious looking dark orange haze. What a hop bomb. If you like hops, this is for you. It just punches your mouth from the get go. So delicious and the alc.% is well hidden. Grapefruit and aweome bitter finish. Fantastic beverage.
