Deep golden in color, BridgePort IPA has an assertive and fragrant hop character from the two full pounds of Cascade, Chinook, Goldings, Crystal and Ahtanum hops in every barrel. / (Our Original IPA) Over 20 years ago, our Original IPA set the standard for an American brewed IPA by using only the freshest Pacific Northwest ingredients available. That tradition continues today. We blend 5 hop varieties grown locally in the Willamette Valley to create a signature floral and citrus aroma. Bottle-conditioned to perfection, BridgePort IPA is exceptionally balanced with a soft round body and robust character.

From a 355ml bottle on 24/3/2013. Pours a cloudy goldent orange with a small foamy head. Has a slight fruity aroma, but really doesn’t have a typical IPA aroma. The flavour is better, with some nice sweet citrus fruit up front and a very firm grapefruity bitterness at the back. There’s not much malt to experience here. The carbonation is lively. I wouldn’t necessarily complain if I had to down a few of these but as far as IPAs go, there are many better examples out there to be found.

Pours amber with a large head.Nose shows restrained fruity hops with some clean malt and soft bready notes underneath.Flavours seem a little lacking to, with some grapefruit and soft lychee, but little else. Quite a sharp bitterness in the finish.Much too highly carbonated.

Hazy gold with an inch of white head. Aroma of pine, slightly musty peaches, grapefruit, caramel. Light-bodied getting towards watery. Little sweetness, some peach, modest but complex citrus/ spice/ floral notes, gentle but adequate bitterness. Dry, brief finish. Can’t quite decide whether the yeasty notes hold it back or give it character - eventually plumped for the latter. Refreshing and gluggable.

Cask at GBBF. Slightly hazy gold beer. Hops are light and a little grassy. However overall this comes over as a little water. Possibly suffered a bit in transit.

Bomber from Famous Liquors, Lombard. I let this sit for 11 months, not a good thing for an IPA. But here goes. Pours still floats lots of hop to my nose, mostly of the piney kind, but maybe with a hint of hibiscus. Hazy gold color under a thick but quickly dwindling head. Taste has a hint of malt sweetness, but it’s been thinned a little by the bitterness. Lots of tiny bubbles to tickle my palate. Overall mouthfeel is a tiny bit thin, but that shows no other signs of age.

12 oz bottle into shaker. Nice lemony citrus aroma (I’m used to grapefruit more with this style, which is also present, but not as forward as the lemon); pine (spruce?) is prominent. Smells like a Christmas tree; clean. Pours hazy orangish gold with minimal head that leaves a nice collar of foam and decent lacing. Some floaties in here (expired? I don’t know, but it doesn’t taste so.). Taste is nice, if a bit standard. Not overly bitter--just a tinge. It’s fruity and floral--the hallmarks of this style. Tangy aftertaste lingers on the tongue. Carbonation is medium-high. Overall, a very nice IPA, yet it pushes no boundaries. Sometimes it’s nice to have these straightforward styles in this era of big experimental brews, though.

Sample at the brewpub. This beer pours a hazy yellow-orange color with a thin off-white head that recedes quickly. Spotty lacing on the glass. The aroma is citrus and hops. Light to medium body with flavors of hops, orange peel and light malt. The finish is citrusy with a hoppy aftertaste. Barely above average overall.
