Historically brewed with hemp seeds, Chronic Ale has been a staple at Pizza Port for over a decade! This mellow amber ale is the most popular beer in all of our pub locations as it agrees with everyone’s palate and goes great with pizza. It was a dream come true to finally put it in a can and give people the chance to carry it with them wherever they go!

[On tap at the Pickled Monk, Fullerton, CA.] An amber pour with a ring of white head and heavy carbonation; somewhat perfumed aroma; sweet and aromatic in the mouth with a creamy body; then a bittersweet finish with some caramel. Very easy drinking.

Quite hazy deep amber and bronze coloured body with a nice single centimetre tall just off-white head on top. Aroma of funk, yeast, bread, grain, apples, pears and a touch of caster sugar. Light-bodied; Strong grassy and apple flavours dominate with a mild malt presence and some softer hop notes that are evident on the back, but just don't show much in terms of complexity and depth. Aftertaste shows the grainy malt and especially the fruits with a stale biscuity and nutty flavour that has some earthiness as well and a hint of astringency on the finish. Overall, a dry and relatively straight-forward beer that shows an 'amber ale' about right without much flavours, complexity, depth or pungency - this is a very easy drinking beer that also shows some light fruit, a dose of earth and a hint of soft caster sugar. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased on the other side of the world at the Turnpike Shell Station (near the airport) in Hagatna, Guam, U.S.A on 22-July-2017 for US$3,50 brought back home to literally the opposite end of America in Washington on 25-April-2019 while planning for this year's summer vacation.

Malty with light fruity hop notes. Sweet. Toasted malt. Fizzy head that disappeared rather quick. It's alright, but nothing special.
