On tap at Bridgeport, Portland. Black with disappearing tan head. Sour dark malt aroma. Again, a bit carbonated which gave it a thin feel in mouth. Nice liquorish flavour, bit of smoke, choccy liquorice, still excellent despite the lack of fullness in mouth.

On tap at Bridgeport, Portland. Amber colour with lasting off white head. Perfumed aroma. Slightly spicey. Bit empty on the malt. Some toffee, bit like an ESB, but not really. OK

On tap at Bridgeport, Portland. You can’t always choose milestone beers, but I am pleased that this is 2500. I love the beers from the PNW so a solid exponent of the IPAs from that part of the world is perfect. Hazy gold with a lasting off white head. Enjoyable hop aroma. Grapefruit aroma, slightly sticky hop, some sherbert. Good malt hop balance. Still a huge hop finish, but more manageable than some. Really rather drinkable.

On tap at Bridgeport, Portland. Like a Belgian wit with a bit more tangerine, with a passing nod to a tripel. More bananary esters. Nicelemon. Good wit, full of flavour, but still that clean feel. Flavours are intense too. Lovely

On tap at Bridgeport, Portland. Chestnut. Thin beige head. Really banana/pineapple/green apple fruits. Bit of ginger on aroma, then banana/pineapple flavour. Oddly fruity

On tap at Bridgeport, Portland. Copper colour with thin off white head. Slightly stale I thought. Bit of banana. It’s got that blackcurrant flavour so perhaps Willmette hops. Bit over carbonated. Odd estery aroma as well. Fine.

12oz Bottle pours out a hazy yellow topped with a white head. A very nice hop aroma. Also a good hop tast.

Bottle: pours a clear copper / amber color with an average head. Aroma is a bit grainy and sour, but tastes better. Taste is crisp and clean, with floral tones, pine, and maltiness. Not bitter or sour tastes at all. Not bad, but not great.

Nice hop tones with lemon and citrus present. Also a bit bready, but still retains a nice sweetness. Well balanced in taste and crisp finish.
