A massively hoppy west-coast style pale ale. An initial nose of dankness with subtle pine. SPA starts with an initial bite from the hops and finishes with a refreshing tangerine-like bitterness.

cloudy golden colour, huge off-white head; aroma of floral hops,grape and honey notes, tropical fruits and some bread; taste is dominated by hoppy bitterness with some tropical fruity notes, and minimal maltyness - a bit too intensive hoppyness for this not too definite body...otherwise great APA

22 ounce bottle. Slightly hazy orange color topped by a huge rocky off white head. Wonderful pine hop aroma. Bittersweet malt flavor upfront. The spicy hops take control and own it from here on. Another fine effort from Port Brewing.

Pours gold into a shaker. Bright white head with good retention top hats and recedes to meringue surface. Weed and resin aromas. Sweet caramel and weed upfront turning to dry grapefruit in the lasting finish.
