Description
BridgePort produces a variety of international style ales, including IPA. BridgePort’s ales are naturally conditioned in the bottle, keg, or cask from which they are served - they’re never force carbonated. The natural conditioning creates ale that is smooth, naturally carbonated, and full of flavor.

Today, BridgePort Brewing Company is one of the top specialty brewers in the state of Oregon. As BridgePort Brewing grew in popularity, it also grew in its brewing capacity from its 600-barrel beginnings to over 100,000 barrels per year. Distribution has grown from Portland to 18 states, and the brewery’s emphasis on producing quality, innovative ales has provided it with an international following and numerous awards.

Pour is a hazy orange with a small white head. Aroma is some orange but with a large sweetness. Kind of reminds me is a orange jolly rancher. Flavor is more of the orange with a very soft mouth feel. This is pretty darn sweet for an IPA with Vienna malt. I thinking they just used a lots artificial orange sweetener to get the alcohol where they wanted it. Not very hoppy just a sweet orangey mess.

Bottle shared with a co-worker. Poured a clear orange color, though sediment really picked up on this one pretty quickly. Aroma was maltier than I would have expected, but a nice citrus character really comes through on it. Lots of floral hop leaf notes. Light chewy character. Grapefruit zest is nice. This had been in the co-worker’s fridge for almost a year and was still pretty solid - would like to try it fresh.

650 ml bottle. Pours a dark mahogany with moderate head. Aromas of dark sweet fruit, dried strawberries, spicy oak and toasted malts. Flavors of dry red berries, grassy hops, oak, and sweet malts with a light bitter finish. Really tasty. Very nice.

12oz bottle pours out dark brown topped with a sand head. Nose is roast some light chocolate earthy notes and a solid hop kick. Taste is more of the roast malts light sweetness and a well dosed hop.

Bomber from Safeway in Seaside. Aroma is cherry pie (pits and flesh of the fruit), generic beer, cinnamon. Pours bright copper with an off-white head. Taste is lightly tart cherry, spices. I don’t smell or taste any Belgian influence. How hard is that for a brewer to use a little Belgian yeast in such a Belgian style? That being said, it does taste pretty good.
