Port Brewing A.B.L.E.



Pizza Port is one of my favorite places to eat and drink. The lunch special can't be beat. A slice of really good pizza, salad, and a drink for $4.99. For a dollar more you can add a beer. I added their A.B.L.E IPA.


This was a pretty strong IPA. I think it was around 8%. This was definitely a West Coast version of an IPA. It had a huge hop profile. Almost too hoppy. The hops hit in different spots at different degrees. About half way through this beer I wasn't able to taste much. My mouth was coated with tingling citrus notes that overcame all other taste sensations.


With a medium color and the price at a dollar this was a pretty good beer. Definitely not a beer that I would sit down and drink a case of, but if you were gonna have one beer and the pizza you chose had a creamy cheese like the Port OB with Gorgonzola then this would be a perfect pairing to cut the creaminess.






Each Port location brews this infrequently. Please check their website for current tap listings.
