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 deep orange body and a white head. Hardly any aroma at all. Taste is spicy and malty husky with an odd aftertaste. Slightly fizzy and a bit on the dry side.

Draft in San Clemente. An amber beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of hops and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of caramel and malt, as well as lot of hoppy grass, leading to a rather bitter finish. Nice and refreshing.

From tap in San Clemente (!). Pours clear and golden orange with a lacing white head. Fruity and hoppy aroma. Light roasted caramel malt aroma. Light spiced and breadish bse flavour. Delicate fruity hops flavour on top. Goes into a nice hoppy finish.

Draught, described by Jeff as a Best Bitter Deep amber beer, with a small white head. Artichoke aroma, maybe a bit phenolic, strange; drying grass. Old, stale cookies, bit of diacetyl? Malty, no hops, even the UK ones are not traceable. Light, not too present on the palate - maybe that’s too British for comfort. Too mainstream for my idea - and if the hempen from the C.D. is correct, another one to add to my idea that hempen is a useless addition.
