We've finally teamed up with our friends at Pizza Port Brewing Co., one of our favorite breweries in San Diego. When deciding what to make, we figured something excessively hoppy was the logical choice, and so this collaboration brew was born. This triple IPA is an intensely hoppy and bitter San Diego-style India pale ale. The light malt character and light body allow aggressive notes of pine, mango, and citrus fruits to overtake the palate, while a dry finish allows it to remain crisp and refreshing. Make the Logical Choice and enjoy this beer immediately, much like the brewers did leaving work to enjoy it in sunny San Diego. Cheers!

Can from de Bierliefhebber, dated 06/22/17. Slight hazy golden color, medium frothy head. Aroma of piney hops, slight candy from the malt, some citrus. Medium bitterness backed up by quite a heavy candy malty sweetness. But all in the typical USA imperial ipa style, so not sticky sugary sweet and no caramel. But more crisp. Great one.

27/XII/17 - 12Fl. Oz. can from Bierhalle Deconinck (Vichte), shared @ post-Christmas Tasting (home) - BB: n/a, canned: VI/22/17 (2017-2248)

Clear orange beer, big creamy off-white head, pretty stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: some tropical fruits, mandarins, bit floral. MF: soft carbon, medium to full body. Taste: pretty bitter start, sweet malts, bit resinous, alcohol, pretty fruity. Aftertaste: sweet, malty, some jam, bit resinous, fruity finish. Decent one, but not as super as I would've hoped it to be. Nothing like a Swami, for example...
