First brewed in 2002 to celebrate the 15th Anniversary of the Pizza Port in Solana Beach, Hop 15 was imagined and designed by Tomme Arthur and Jeff Bagby. It was to be a celebration of 15 years of "Good Beer Brings Good Cheer." So there are 15 different hop varieties that are added to the beer every 15 minutes. Over the years.

Wondering if this bottle might be a hair past its prime, but it doesn't really matter since it's pretty damn tasty, regardless. Nice mixture of caramel malt sweetness backed up by a slight toast and grain undertone, all on top of a massive reservoir of hop goodness. Orange marmalade and ripe mango mixes with pine and pepper and resin, providing a thorough tour through your favorite hop notes without allowing any element to dominate. Nice egalitarian DIPA, I guess. Wish the aroma was stronger, but, again, might be due to age. Who cares. No way I'd say this beer was 10% if the label didn't insist it was. Tasty.

From bottle at a tasting @ Bor’s, with Borresteijn, Zlotta, Markoijelena, Adamnowek, Skortila, MarcodL and Harmen. Murky yellow golden color. White head. Aroma’s: resin. Retronasal: resinous, citrussy sour, bitterish. Flavor is bitter with a moderate sweet backbone. Medium bodied. Long dry and deliciously bitter and herbal finish. Pretty much how a DIPA’s supposed to be.

Sampled from bottle at Borresteijn’s place. Slightly hazy, golden amber with a tan to white head. Sweetish, fruity and slightly resiny aroma of mango, orange, some honey and a bit of pine. Sweetish, slightly bitter, fruity and a little resiny taste of mango, orange, some honey and pine, followed by a medium long, rather bitter, moderately resiny finish. Medium to full body, creamy mouthfeel, average carbonation. Very nice!

Bottle at tasting. Golden pour. Aroma of citrus, peach, bitter hop and malt. Quite bitter taste, with citrus, spicey hop kick, peach, grainy malt and a mild hop burn. Doesn’t taste like its abv. Good hop bomb.
