Shark Bite
Shark Bite was the first beer brewed at Pizza Port Solana Beach in 1992, and every location brews it to the same recipe. It is a robust American red ale in which dark caramel malt meets Cascade and Centennial hops. Toffee, caramel and toasted bread carry the palate, while the hops add citrus peel and resin. A firm bitterness gives the finish a spicy, drying edge, so the beer comes across as hoppy and malty at once.
