A: poured a golden orange with yellow highlights with a finger of head and a little sticky lacing.

S: booze citrus and hop aromas with good malt presence. After a couple of whiffs I also got citrus notes.

T: grapefruit hop bitterness up front with citrus zest that does over power the malts a bit and booze in the mixture as well.

M: medium body with a little bit of carbonation and a sweet mlid bitter finish.

D: drinks really good all the way down the bottle and has a good balance between ingredients in the beer. I've had this beer a couple of times and has been decent every time

22oz. bomber: this one pours a clear, golden color. There was a good bit of an off-white head that leaves a fair amount of lacing. Nice strong hop aroma. Pine with some grapefruit. Nice taste. Good strong hop bite, with some malt sweetness in the background. Bitter taste is resinous pine with some grapefruit. A good beer.

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
