About half a year ago, we welcomed Port brewing to New Jersey. I was really excited since their hoppy beers have a very good reputation.
Poured into a large opening, tulip style glass. It is a darker, hazy orange with a sticky layer of foam on top. I like the lacing that this head leaves behind.
Off the top you get a ton of citrus. I detect a little malt to help balance the beer.
The flavor is pretty good. I get more of the citrus. The bittering is really strong, and I get some imbalance in this.
I thought this was good, but it fell a little below my expectations. I'm going to age another bottle for another four months to see if I can bring a little more mellowness to this beer.

Good orange appearance with a small 1/4" head on it, aroma was yielding more malt sweetness than I ever expected from a Pizza Port dipa. Kinda weird that the hops didn't pop here.
Taste was 100ibu size bitterness. Sticky malt, although lighter than initially thought. This was decent, but also a disappointment coming from one of the world's best hoppy beer makers.
