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.

Tap at the brewpub. Pours dark and ruddy with a huge foamy beige head. Aroma of malt and arguably citrus hops. Med body. Flavor is suggestive of an amber, but much nicer. Moderately bitter; fairly citrus; malt that’s not overdone. Good.

Gold with a bit of orange. Some light toasted malt with a healthy crisp bite. Clean throughout. Criminally drinkable. Need an iced sixer of this in a cooler and a canoe.

12 oz. bottle, pours a clear orange amber with a medium beige head. Aroma brings out toasted caramel malt, bready notes and resinous hops. Flavour is sweet and spicy, with resinous hops, spicy earthy notes, and sweet caramel malt. A much maltier IIPA than I generally go for, but the hops are still nice in this. Reaches cloying territory. Meh.

Poured into an English pint glass, the appearance was a hazy burnt orange almost light brown color with a cap of a little white foamy head. Sly roaming speckled lace.
The aroma had the Fuggles sweet to estery floral/herbal qualities coming across the malts somewhat in an acceptable \"soapy\" fashion. Biscuit sweet malts plead their case for the balance.
The flavor blends all of the previously aromas together mostly sweet with that smooth soapiness coming into flow in the aftertaste and finish.
The palate was almost medium bodied with a fair sessionability about it. Carbonation felt fine. ABV felt fine. Pretty smooth all around.
Overall, as an ESB, it works, I get it and don’t mind it.

Poured into a mug, the appearance was a dark pale orange almost brown color with a finger’s worth of white foamy head that fell off fairly quick. Some stringy lace.
The aroma had some walnut/chestnut sweet roastiness rolling around some caramel/toffee malts. Some wood, light hay, cereal and a little bit of earthiness round out the edges.
The flavor was a nice blend of sweet to roasty nut to caramel/toffee maltiness. Aftertaste was the blend of it all. The finish was the same.
The palate was about medium bodied with a fair sessionability about it. Carbonation felt fine. ABV felt appropriate.
Overall, pretty good English styled brown ale that I could come back to.

Pour is a deep copper orange with medium white head. Sweet citrus aroma. Medium syrupy body. Flavor is malty with sweet citrus and some toasted bread. Finish has lingering malt with the bitterness on the side of the tongue. Decent.
