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.

12oz bottle. Murky, dulled burgundy-red. Thin, oily head. Sweet aroma with some hoppy bitterness. Pretty insipid, especially for Bridgeport. Watery medium body. Really strikes me as a cost cutting beer, not very interesting at all, really lacks character. Malt centered, boring beer.

12oz bottle. Hazy dulled orange color. Soapy, patchy, off-white head. Respectable orange-citrus hop aroma. Medium bodied and quite mild, this is a pretty nice session beer. Low carbonation. Maybe a hint of lemony wheat. A little too tame.

22oz Bottle Pours out a brown topped with a off white head. Aroma is sweet, strawberry (but mostly seeds like when you make your own shake at home and all the seeds gather at the bottom of the glass) ya like that. Taste is more of the sweet and I have to pull pretty hard to pick up the oak BB.

Bottle. Poured deep red with thin off white head. Caramel and barrel aroma. Light body less than one expects in a barrel aged beer. A little vanilla and a little spice in the flavour. Rather thin finish for the type.

12 oz bottle purchased at the Beer Cave in Overland park, Kansas. Pour is a nice hazy unfiltered orange copper with a two inch off white head. Falls with some lacing. Aroma is soft resin, mild citrus and grassy hops. As it warms up, some floral. Under the hops is some crystal malt. Taste is resin up front, along with a decent blast if iced teas from the caramel malt. There is a pretty strong amount of herbal floral grass in the taste as well. Finish is dry, with some alcohol heat showing. Tasted is fine, just disjointed. Palate is medium bodied, nice active carbonation and the dry finish - alcohol and mineral lingers in the aftertaste.

12 ounce bottle courtesy of blutt59. Thanks! Pours a clear reddish amber with a medium frothy white head. Decent head retention and lacing. Aroma of floral, earthy and citrus/tropical hop notes with a malty finish. The taste is bitter citrus and leafy hops, faint malts and a lingering hop burn. Medium bodied, almost on the thin side.

Cask gravity at GBBF 2010. Brown/gold colour, bubbly head. Good hop. Got a sweetness to the hop. Then lovely dry grapefruit. Good sweet then dry DIPA. Hops eat through your teeth. Good.

Pours a fiery-orange with gold around the sides. White head is small-ish and doesn’t last. Slight haze is fine for the style. Aroma is more malt than hops, with some dustiness. Nice well-rounded flavor with good malt and hop balance. Sharp hop bite in late mid-palatte. Bitterness at the end. Hops really don’t stand out here.
