Bottle from santa - Pours a very dark ruby color with minimal head - dry, roasty aroma, with background chocolate malt, vanilla, cream and minerals - a little thin-bodied - the flavor is about what you’d expect from the style, though - quite dry, with a salty, hard water quality, tempered by a mild sweetness backed by coffee and molasses - thin, flat finish - drinkable, but a ho-hum offering.

Bottle from santa - bright orange pour with attractive lace - bready aroma, with an earthy, floral character - crisp and spicy, with a relatively low hop profile, yeasty quality and tang that one usually finds in the more traditional, British examples - nothing to rave about, but pretty solid.

Bottle (7-22-2006) Sour peach/orange rind and hops aroma. Cloudy orange yellow color with moderate head. Peach malt flavor initially followed by pine/citrus with moderate hops finish - well balanced but just a bit light. Very good. / Re-rate 3-25-19 - Glad I got to re-visit this since they just stopped brewing - guess this was one of my earliest IPA rates. Orange, biscuit malt, and orange peel aroma. Hazy golden yellow with moderate head. Moderately sweet orange, peach, biscuit malt, and moderately bitter orange peel and pine flavor. Okay body. Not going to change the rating - maybe might lose a point or two but still nice. Not as hop forward as the modern IPAs but I like it. Farewell, BridgePort.

A hazy orange beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet malty combined with a good hop presence and a light fruit presence. The flavor is sweet with primary notes of toffee, but also light notes of barn yard and fruit.

Pour is a cloudy orange with a big foamy head. Aroma is a nice pine and grassy hops. Flavor is a light spritzy citrus with a nice dose of fresh hops. Could use a bit more malts but very tasty and clean. Good beer to start on my b-day.

Flavor was a mild maltiness with a subtle hop feel. Needs more flavor intensity, as well as being fairly thin bodied. Not bad, but kind of boring.

Pours a cloudy amber with a small, off-white head. Aroma is hoppy and citrus filled. Taste is crips with hops, malt, and some floral tones. Body is heavier than most ESB’s - a very tasty brew.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Almost black in colour with a reddish tint and a beige head. Rather roasted aroma with a coffeeish touch. Medium-bodied with some roasted malt and a lightly burned edge. Somewhat fruity still - odd for a Stout. Dry finish. Overall a pleasant experience. 220406

Nice rich golden color with a moderate white head that lasted the entire glass. Aroma is a faint citrus and hops blend that teases the nose before the first sip. Taste is a great balance of citrus, malt, florals, and hops. The best part is definitely the crisp hop flavor. This is now one of my favorite IPA’s.
