Commercial Description:
Fiercely local, drawing on indigenous ingredients from the hop fields of the Willamette Valley and the barley fields of the high Northwest desert. This pale ale is round and soft on the palate, finishing crisply, to capture the flavor and spirit of the Pacific Northwest in every pint and bottle.

Rich golden color with thick white head. Pine and crisp citrus on the nose. Light body with a dry watery finish. Light malt, pine, and faint hops for flavors though really not that interesting. Decent session for the most part. Though pretty watery overall.

Another Bridgeport bottle I’d downed declared that it is "bottle conditioned", while this does not, and there is definitely a difference in appearance. Bright, clear amber color, no haze, and an adequate head. Aromas of...? Huh, okay, nothing. No bitterness, some substance on the palate, but not much. Very soft and smooth, an ideal session ale, with nothing in the way of flavor to trouble the mind. Better drinking than a lager, but not for me. Some sweetness, nice taste. I’ve got to give it it’s due, but, again, clearly not for me.

Nice bronze amber ale, light tan head. Smell is rich and sweet. Hops are barely there, sweet and nice overall.

Deep amber pour, little to no head or lacing. Nose is hoppy and slightly sweet. Taste is crisp, hops are present and flavorful, but not especially powerfull. A slight citrus/lemon flavor comes out early in the taste. Finishes smooth and easy, slightly yeasty/doughy. A pleasant Pale Ale.

Your basic pale ale that isn’t overly hopped with a smooth finish that makes it a nice session ale.....although there are many better than this.

Tap. Pale yellow, minimal head. Your typical brewpub "most popular beer". Grain prominent in flavor and aroma, somewhat watery and adjunctive. Sportswatching beer if there ever was one.
