Bottle from Albertsons. About what I expected. Dark amber, small tan foamy head, fades to small cap. Aroma is light caramel malts. Taste picks this up a bit, malt sweetness coming through, with some bittering hops at the back. Just shy of dank. Strong, but gets kind of medicinal too.

Tap at the Great Northern Hotel, Melbourne. Poured a hazy medium brown with a frothy white head. The aroma is toffee apple caramel malt, sweet woody hop. The flavour is moderate sweet, light bitter with a dry malt, sweet toffee, dry spice, woody hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation and a lingering bitter finish. I really wanted to like this and I did to a degree, but it’s all about the toffee and big dry woody hops.

Six pack from a grocery store. Pours a reddish amber color with a medium white head. A big sticky sweet nose. Bready, big caramel, toast, sticky sweet citrus. Very much a 1990s IPA and not a great one. Some higher alcohols present, not very smooth. OK. I wish Bridgeport was making better beer, but this is an example that they often are not. The IIPA market is flooded and there are tons of great ones. This is malty, lots of caramel and big bitterness. OK beer.

12 oz. bottle, pours a clear orange amber with a medium beige head. Aroma brings out toasted caramel malt, bready notes and resinous hops. Flavour is sweet and spicy, with resinous hops, spicy earthy notes, and sweet caramel malt. A much maltier IIPA than I generally go for, but the hops are still nice in this. Reaches cloying territory. Meh.
