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.

Bottle thanks to Mora2000. Pours with a very dark brown, not really black hued body with a small and fading tan head. Aromas are quite hoppy with citrus, and grapefruit. Low malt with hardly any roast, but some deep molasses notes. Flavors are hoppy, citrusy, molasses, grapefruit and tangerine. Lightly spicy hop notes as well. Medium bubbles with a dry finish. Not to weighty. Good.

ChrisO ’Night Of The Gaylords’ tasting. Hazy amber beer. Soft dry palate. Light malt. A little tame cherry. Wheaty malt. That’s about it - the US Fruit Wheat Beer blandness demon strikes again!

Draft - Aromatic hops and some caramel in the background. Amber hue with medium persistent head. Sweetness from the malts upfront easing into a hoppy bitterness. I think the bitterness is a bit over the top for the style.

Bomber from "Made in Oregon". Pours sort of rose amber with a slight white head. Aroma is very berry/fruites de bois sort of thing. Near med body. Flavor is very berry with hints of spice. "Light Belgian character" it is. Belgians would be proud to claim this. Finishes balanced, perhaps on the dry side, and lightly bitter - like chewing berry seeds. Delightful.

Cask at GBBF. Slightly hazy gold beer. Hops are light and a little grassy. However overall this comes over as a little water. Possibly suffered a bit in transit.

Bottle: Pours a dark auburn color with a creamy tan head. Picking up the florals and earthy hops in the aroma, as well as some bready malt. Flavor is more in the bready/caramel malts department with light floral hops. Much less hoppy than I was looking forward to.

Bottle. Pours a dark copper with a small off white head leaving spotty lacing. The aroma is a raisin malt and floral. Medium mouthfeel with bitter hop and nice dry finish. A good black IPA from Bridgeport.
