GBBF. Clear amber beer - no real head. Light dry palate. Bitter peach and tea flavoured malt. Finishes dry. Not hating it but can’t get excited either. 3.0

Black Country Beano. Outbound train tasting! Light haze on this amber beer, big pale cream coloured head. Softish airy palate, dry. Somewhat spicy hops with lesser pine and marmalade. Lingering bitter aftertaste.

I had this on tap at the Beer Bistro in Chicago, IL. I haven’t seen it around, so I figured I’d give it a shot. I’ve had better IIPA’s, but this one isn’t bad by any means. For this being only 7.5% it tasted much more potent than it actually is. Definite citrus notes in the nose, had kind of a woodsy flavor and mouthfeel. Definitely not a beer you want to pound or anything, took me about 15 min to finish this one.

Cask gravity at GBBF, Trade Day 03-08-10 Hurrah things are getting better on the American beer front from the BSF bar, this is much better. Pours amber with good clarity. Nice hoppy sting to this but good smooth sweetness following through. This is full of fresh green, zingy hops. Its a nice beer with a good thrusting bitterness. A7 A4 T7 P4 Ov14 3.6

12 oz. bottle, pours hazy golden orange with a small off-white head. Aroma of moderate hops, citrus, grass and earth. Flavour of hops, biscuit, floral notes - very similar to the regular IPA. Not one of the better IIPAs.

Pour is a orange with a large white head. Aroma is a nice grapefruit hop with some cookie dough malts in the backround. Flavor is a decent amount of hops but not over the top. The hops are again followed by dry malt. This is a decent enough pick up for a sample its just not as hoppy as some other IIPA’s i’v had recently.

Bottle. Pours a clear copper orange with a medium creamy white head that leaves good sticky lacing. The aroma is very hoppy with grapefruit and grass. Medium mouthfeel with a big hoppy bite with grapefruit and a nice bitter finish. Easy to drink hiding the alcohol well, a very good IIPA from BridgePort.

Shipped to me by my wife from a trip to Portland. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a hazy apricot color with a large yellow-white head that lingered and produced good lacing. The aroma was tart pineapple, grapefruit, lemon and yeast. The flavor was sour and nutty malts with bitter sweet pine and grapefruit. The finish was long with pineapple and grapefruit lingering. Fairly full bodied. Good.

12 oz bottle into snifter. Thanks, Brenn79! Aromas of piney hops, grapefruit, floral notes. Pours semi-hazy bronze with a huge head that retains itself admirably. Great lacework. Taste is sweet then bitter. The bitterness lingers on the tongue for awhile. Carbonation is medium. Slightly oily. Very nice.
