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 dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma is a nice spice. Nutmeg is here in a big way. Flavor is cinnamon to start with a little gingerbread. Lots of nutmeg and cinnamon almost a bit too much. Finish has pumpkin pie spice without the pumpkin b/c it was not used. Definitely a spice beer. If nutmeg and cinnamon in beer is not your thing then pass this one by.

Courtesy of Martinus. Thx! 650 ml. bottle sampled @ decadent symmetry tasting. Possibly some age on this one, going by taste. Pours hazy orange with a white head. Nose is grapefruit, tangerine, bit mellowed with some caramel malts, light grass. Taste is grapefruit, very bitter herbs, slight chalk, grass, touch toffee, caramel malts,… Carb. is a bit less, still very enjoyable stuff.

Cask at Great British Beer Festival 2013. Poured a cloudy pink with no head. Fruity aroma (go figure), berries and a light tart note. Raspberry and blackberry flavours quite apparent with some yeast. Mild sourness in the palate with some tarter fruits and cooked berry sharpness. Very quaffable, considering the strength.

Bottle, 12oz. It’s an almost clear one, amber in color and topped by a dense, finger-thick light beige head leaving lacings. The aroma is sure spiced, nutmeg and clove notes, as well some caramel maltyness in the back. There’s some sweetness and bitterness going on in the flavor, but the spices win. Dried fruits, caramel and a touch of pine cones as well. Full to medium body, soft carbonation. Feels quite sweet, but dries up towards the end, which is also mostly spiced. Not sure... I think it’s a fine brew, but if the spices were toned down a bit, it would be quite drinkable as well. 130829
