Wet Hopped higher ABV version of High Tide
On tap at Pizza Port Carlsbad - Poured into a pint glass

A: Pours a dark amber with a huge rocky white head that does not go away and leaves tons of lacing on the glass.

S: The nose is really great on this one. Loads of tropical fruits like mango and apricots as well as grapefruit and sweet malt.

T: The taste is even better than the nose with massive amounts of tropical fruit hop flavors like mango, pineapple, and grapefruit. There's also a nice pine bitterness with some malt sweetness to balance it all on the finish. One of the tastiest IPAs I've had.

M: The feel is creamy and medium bodied...just right.

O: This is a damn good IPA and the fact that it's wet hopped makes it something special. Tons of tropical fruit and malt sweetness with just the right amount of hop bitterness. Extremely enjoyable and one I'd have all the time if it was available to me. Anyone living near one of Pizza Port locations is very spoiled...

Serving type: on-tap
