Chilled growler into a glass, courtesy of Sideswipe. Thanks, John!
Shared with the late chswimmer (RIP). From notes.
A: Pours a clear orange-amber body with an off-white head. Great retention with sticky lace down the sides.
S: Bright, grapefruit citrus with an element of tangerine. A touch of pine.
T: Lightly bitter up front, but that fades toward the clean finish. Cracker malt with citrus hops and just a touch of pine (the latter more noticeable toward the end of the taste).
M: Light-bodied, with good carbonation. It finishes dry with no lingering bitterness.
O: As with almost everything else I've had from Pizza Port, this was good. Hard to go wrong with PP...

On tap at Pizza Port in Carlsbad, CA.
Pours a clear yellow with a foamy bone colored head that settles to wisps of film on top of the beer. A foamy latticework of lace coats the glass on the drink down. Smell is of citrus fruit, citrus zest, tropical fruit, and malt. Taste is much the same with medium hop bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a good level of carbonation with a crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is a very good beer that is really tasty and very drinkable.

Pours a clear golden color with a white head and good lacing. Citrus peel, grass, and pine hops with a light floral character. Some bready malt, but note much in the way of sweetness. The pine is quite strong on the palate and gives the beer a pronounced bitterness. Bready malt, but again, not much sweetness. A bit of floral and citrus peel hop flavor to it as well.

A clear orange and amber with a moderately sized off-white head that that leaves regular, circular rings of lacing down the glass.
The aroma is a pleasant and hoppy one, especially for a pale ale. There's lots of citrus (grapefruit) and pine elements along with some bread and sweetness.
Moderately bitter, citrus hop presence, mild pine, and some cracker malt. A very well constructed, balanced, drinkable pale ale.
Medium bodied with moderate to high carbonation.
A great pale ale. I could always drink this with pizza.
