12 ounce bottle thanks to Hiromi. Pours a clear copper color with a medium white head. A fruity and grainy nose. The flavor is big rye, meaty at times, fresh piny hops, some lingering sweetness. A bit odd altogether but nice overall.

Bottle from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours clear deep copper with a foamy beige head. Deep inhale reveals spicy chocolate. Med body. Foamy carb. Flavor comes first as chocolate, then with rye spice, then something like the leftover flavor of sucking baking chocolate. Finishes pretty bitter - in a sort of chocolate way. We’re not talking Hersheys here, just that bitterness associated with chocolate. Very good ale. But it would be much nicer were it imperialized. Hint. Hint.

From a 355ml bottle on 24/3/2013. Pours a cloudy goldent orange with a small foamy head. Has a slight fruity aroma, but really doesn’t have a typical IPA aroma. The flavour is better, with some nice sweet citrus fruit up front and a very firm grapefruity bitterness at the back. There’s not much malt to experience here. The carbonation is lively. I wouldn’t necessarily complain if I had to down a few of these but as far as IPAs go, there are many better examples out there to be found.

12oz bottle. Pretty unimpressive offering from Bridgeport. FIltered orange-tan body. Steady thin off-white head. Odd aroma, some orange, garbage-butter, and gingerbread rye. There is a certain unpleasant, cheap caramel buttery flavor going on throughout, maybe it’s just the Rye. Not really much depth, and just an all around undesirable flavor.
