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 Boho. Pours a hazy golden orange with a rocky white head. Aroma is fresh, grapefruit and pineapple, with floral and pine notes and hints of honey. Flavor is intensely hoppy. Lot’s of pine, lots of bitterness, lots of everything! Has a decent malt backbone and is full bodied and oily. Carbonation is moderate. A long lasting dry bitter finish. Very refreshing for how big it is and no alcohol detected. Fantastic stuff!

Light amber pour with off-white head. aroma is of hops, hops,and malt. Nice hop and malt balance during the drink. You taste the malt during the initial first taste, and a hoppy spicy finish at the end. It leaves a dry taste with more notes of spicy hop goodness.This could be a very dangerous beer- refreshing and tasty, easy to drink, 10% ABV and not noticeable. I gladly welcome this beer to the Illinois Valley. leaves a great lacing.

Bomber from By The Bottle. Colour... cloudy orange with a moderately thick white head. Nose... crushed conifer needles and squeezed citrus. Palate... smoothly carbonated, sweet yet bitter burst of grapefruit juice and skin, pine wood chips and pitch, nice tempering with malt and a delightfully long finish! A quintessential west coast style Imperial IPA!

Bottle pours hazy orange with a large soapy white head leaving behind a decent amount of lacing. Aroma is grapefruit, peach, pear, pine, caramel and vanilla. Everything exciting on the nose, follows through in flavor as well. Sweet malt right up front, and ends on a fantastic bitter resin finish. One of the more solid IIPA’s out there, and even better when it’s fresh.

A wonderully floral and earthy, slightly grassy with a light pine smell. A syrupy mouthful with bitter, slightly grainy flavor. A long lasting finish, that retains the hoppy, bitter floral flavor.

Poured light orange. Nose was citrus, grapefruit, pine, sweet orange, and some honey. The flavor was sweet malt, pine, caramel, grapefruit, orange, and big on hops. A very delicious aftertaste as well. The bitterness of the hops is well balanced by the sweet malt. A delicious brew.

Awsome D-IPA. Big hop bomb. Nose of cut grass, cutrus, hops hops hops. Flavor hops with a bitter-sweet malt background. Not acidic at all just very well rounded. Cheers!

Bottle. Amber color with a lasting fluffy near white head. Aroma is pine, floral, peach and grapefruit. Flavour has a bit of a bite. Sweet maltyness balances it out nicely.
