Port Brewing, Wipeout IPA


Look: Vibrant Orange with a small fruity head

Taste: Bitterly hoppy as an IPA should be

Conclusion: This is yet another above average, dare I say stellar IPA. My eyes are opening wider and wider to the delicious gems Port Brewing has to offer. I've had 4 or 5 of their beers so far and have thought each one was tasty as hell.

This is a little less bitter than most IPAs but still brings the expected onslaught of hops and citrus bite. For some reason the lasting taste/flavor of IPAs reminds me of grapefruit. Which is a good thing. I love grapefruit! Anyhow, I don't see how Wipeout is an apt name, other than the fact this brewery lies right on the coast. Maybe if a surfer drowned, you could grab his board, hock it for a couple bucks and buy some Wipeout IPA. Happy endings always bring tears to my eyes.

8 Brews!
