| 4.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 3/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | Nov 2, 2007 Pours a cloudy golden orange color, nice carbonation, nice small creamy tannish head which just stays there the whole drink. The nose is hoppy, malty, citrusy, nice pines, and caramel. The taste is mostly hoppy, some malts, nice touch of grapefruit/pines, and some caramel. The finish is bitter and dry, just the way I like it. Medium body. Very drinkable, finally got to this one, very very tasty, another awesome brew from Port.

| 4.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 4/5 | 19/20 | Jun 7, 2008 Nice medium orange/hazy color. Love the small hop particles (?) floating around in it. Bold hop aroma citrus - grapefruit. Special thanks to Sparky27 for a wonderful trade. Hides the 10% alcohol well. Can’t get enough. mesperon (140), Jersey City, New Jersey, USA
| 4.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 4/5 | 10/10 | 4/5 | 19/20 | Jul 13, 2009 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. rickkane (1), Riverside, California, USA does not count | 4.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 4/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Sep 30, 2008 This is the gold standard all other double/imperial IPAs should be compared to. The hops are HUGE in this beer and Hop 15 has the malt backbone to balance it. kenster (4), , Arizona, USA does not count | 4.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | Oct 24, 2008 Creamy white head. Big Hop flavors. Aromas of sweet pinneaple. Syrupy in the mouth. High alcohol content without a strong alcohol taste. Pours as a deep copper color. A must for Hop heads. This brew comes and goes throughout the year, so when you see it buy at least a bottle because you may not get a chance next week. bluntsage (1), Bonsall, California, USA does not count | 4.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | Jun 22, 2007 Picked up a case of the first bottling June 15 at Port Brewing (only available in bottle during the summer).
Deep amber color with a rich white head. Aroma is hoppy citrus, pineapple and kiwi mingled with maltiness. Thick and flavorful -- hops hit you up front and finishes with a fruit sweetness. One of my favorite IPAs -- only drawback is that 10% ABV limits my ability to drink more.

| 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. mystiksc (46), los angeles, California, USA
