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.

Bottle from Cornelius. Hazy orange body with a medium off-white head. Steady carbonation. Patchy lacing. Aroma of orange, straw, pine and caramel. Flavour of pine, grapefruit, candy and menthol. Medium body with an oily mouthfeel. Light fizz. Uncompromisingly bitter and hoppy, which helps to disguise the 10% ABV, but slightly hinders its swiggability. I love a high IBU Imperial IPA.

opalescent orange colour, large, slightly yellowish, creamy head which lasts for several minutes; aroma of intensive citruses, grassy notes, tropical fruits, hints of pine resin, some floral notes, biscuity-caramel notes; shocking bittersweet taste with tropical fruits, citruses, tangerine, some honey and caramel notes; neverending bitter aftertaste! amazing IIPA!

A crazy amount of hops going on in this beer. Tons of mandarin, lemon, zest, some grapefruit and even kiwi. Pours orange with big puffy white head. Very bitter finish with some tang and zesty astringency. A hint of booze on finish. Bottle from Julio’s Liquors.

Dark blond with thin lacy head. Aroma has sugary tropical fruits and earthy, piney hops. Quite thick and furry feeling. A bit over the top.

(Thx! for sharing) Sampled bottled @ Gents Bierfestival 2015. Hazy golden, little white head. Nose is oily, tad sweetish, hay, candy, dough with some citrus hoops. Taste is strongly bitter upfront, herbal, orange peel, very dry & pleasant, big citrus, floral, grapefruit, pine, orange peel,… Oily & dry. Heavy on bitterness but quite enjoyable still.
