22oz bomber into a Bruery tulip and paired with a Pepper Jack Burger and sweet potato fries....
A - Murky dark gold and orange body. Thick egg shell head holds tight and leave sticky patches of foam on the way down.
S - West coast IPA mega hops. Tropical fruit, pine, grapefruit, citrus. You name the hop characteristic, it's in here. Some solvency alcohol noted here as well.
T - Smooth up front bitterness, huge hop flavor, and alcohol bite without the burn. You are hit immediately with enough bitterness to get your attention. Then a segway into more lupulin than the human tongue can handle. Pine, grapefruit, lemon zest, everything... Again, a solvent level of the 10% ABV is noted in the mouth and belly.
M - Moderate body, big carbonation to scrub your palate, teeth, cheeks, etc. Warm but clean finish from the alcohol here.
O - This is Port Brewing Anniversary Ale. They are obviously hopheads (like me) and they wanted a monster. So they made one. Would I drink this everyday? Yes. Would everyone feel this way? No. Port Brewing is becoming a favorite of mine, so let the percentages be skewed to hell!!!1

Review from notes. Came across as pretty one dimensional, especially given Pizza Port's brewing acumen for this style. Comes in dark, yellow/auburn notes, thin 1/4" white head. Aroma was alcohol first, then you got a smidge of tropical fruit, nondescript.
Taste was a 100ibu face melt bomb. Didn't impart enough hop flavor. Overly syrupy, thick, viscous. I dunno, I didn't find anything special about this, in fact it was below average for sure for them, one of their worst hoppy beers of all time.
