Looks clear with a slight haze on draft, smell's delicate of grass, taste's smoothly hopped but sharp on the tongue and nice mouthfeel without bite. Great beer, first time I've had it from the tap.

Got this as a bomber at Ralphs. Poured a bright brass color, average head, some lacing. Aroma was almost non existent, maybe I am just hard of smelling but I didn't detect much on the nose. Taste was surprisingly light overall, not much alcohol heat, the 7.5% abv did not show up much on the flavor profile IMO. Lots of floral/citrus bittering. This had a piney/resin finish - that sorta sticks to the back of your mouth - a little off balance on the bittering but hey, some people really love the super bitter hops. Overall a nice bitter west coast IPA.

Another one of those orange colored ipas, usually a good sign as long as you aren't strongly adverse to caramel. This one propped up a 4/5" white head. Aroma went citrus, grapefruit harder than anything else.
Taste was nice, kept up the grapefruit and Simcoe like bitterness throughout. Dry, light bodied, not as thick and crystal malted as they often are.
Even though its in a bomber, the price on these are usually pretty affordable. Would bang again.

This is it! A lighter touch of the classic West Coast IPA, something that would meet your summer needs on the San Diego beach of SoCal. Feels like being wiped out by a huge wave, perhaps even a bit on the sessionable side that is the reason why. It is a very well made IPA with a bit drier finish and lighter body, that's all, with a citrusy or rather earthy, piney smell, feels amazing.
Port Brewing simply cannot do wrong. For me, they stand with the elite brewers of California like Sierra or Stone, all they have done so far turned to gold. This is no exception, enjoy it for what it is.
