About: My first beer was Budweiser. I was about 9 or 10, Dad and I were broken down and the side of the road and all there was to drink was Budweiser. So I had a swig of his, hated it!
I didn't drink beer again until I joined the Marine Corps. I was in Quantico, attending Small Computer Systems Specialist school, when I accidentally knocked a beer out the fridge and broke it. My buddies said now I gotta drink one! The rest is history. The broken beer was a Red Dog by the way.
Now days I am really a hop head that enjoys the IPAs [Stone IPA; Lagunitas IPA] and Douple IPAs [Moylan's; Hair of the Dog Blue Dot]. I also like Belgians [St Bernardus; Delirium; Three Philosopher's] a lot! I also like the Stouts and Porters [Black Butte] as well.
I enjoy going to breweries to sample as well as going to pubs and taverns. I also like enjoying beer with friends and bouncing ideas off of other intelligent people as well. Last time I was at O'Brien's I was shooting the shit with a couple of random strangers.
I hope to someday do a pub/tavern crawl across Europe. That's all I want. Simple.

Overall Rating: A+
Style: Imperial IPA
Serving Style: Cask style into a pint glass
ABV: 9.7%
IBU: Unknown
Price: N/A$
Appearance: Cloudy pale orange with no head ‘cept for a few bubbles
Aroma: Hop blast! Citrus with hint of sweet.
Flavor: Super smooth and hoppy! Taste some sweet in the there with a lingering hopiness. As I continue to savor it I taste sweet citrus fruits infused with hops.
Body: Full body with tons of flavor.
Enjoyability: This is very enjoyable! I highly recommend this one and the cask style of serving makes it super smooth. This is also an IPA that I may classify as a cross over IPA for those wanting to try an IPA but aren’t ready for the hop slap in the face! I liked this one so much I had another here at O’Brien’s.
Another take: Ba’s take | Rate Beer

Named for the 15th year anniversary of the Pizza Port in Solana, one of my favorite UCSD hangouts.
