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.

Pours a lightly hazy orange-gold, big head of foam(served near room temp), nice sticky lacing.

Very aromatic, lots of citrus fruits in the nose that hint at a certain level of bitterness but some kind of sweet note or 2 also peeks through.

The citrus is there for sure in the taste. I get oranges and lemon peel with grapefruit playing a lesser role. The malt comes across as semi sweet with more of a bready character. Pretty good balance here.

Medium bodied with lightish carbonation...nice mouthfeel.

a darn good APA here from Oregon’s oldest craft brewery.

Baseball and beer are probably the best couple ever. That being said, I’m enjoying this watching college football. Pours a cloudy golden color with a thick foam head and lace. Sweet citrus aroma. Bready malt flavor and a cool finish. Quite a tasty beer here.

Cask at GBBF 2015. It pours clear pale orange/gold with a small white head. The nose is earthy, must, toasty grain, dirt, barnyard, grass and porridge. The taste is bitter, earthy, grassy, mild sweetness, grainy, porridge, and dough with a dry, peppery finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. A bit grainy and sticky. Pretty basic in my opinion.

Citrus is decent, bready malt, strange sort of bitterness. Not my fav PA.
