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.

on tap-pours a thin off white head and gold color. Aroma is very mild medium malt, citrus hops. Taste is medium malt, some sweet then dry slightly bitter hops, lots of effervescence.

Bottle. Very floral citric aroma. Orange slightly hazy appearance. Flavor is roller coaster of malt and Pacific Northwest hops. I think the flavor is not too much and does not linger. This could be very sessionable and I see it accompanying any curry dish.

I wouldn’t necessarily buy this over their IPA or ESB, i wish this American pale ale was hopped just a tab bit more. Served on tap at the ale house in Portland.

Bottle - Poured a nice reddish amber in color with a small whitish head. Aroma was of floral hops and yeast; though not strong. Flavor was not strong either and contained elements of both mild hops and malts. The lack of flavor is a major deduction, but it was easy drinking.

This $1.95 bottled brew from a bottle shop in the Portland Airport poured a small sized head of foamy fine to medium sized off-white colored bubbles that were mostly lasting and left behind a slightly hazy softly carbonated copper brown colored body. The aroma was hoppy floral and musty. The crisp mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish. The flavor contained notes of malt mild hops and was mildly floral. Not one that I would likely buy again.

On tap at the brewpub during ABA Beer Tour 07. Pours a light clear golden coppery brew with a fast dissolving white head. Lot of carbonation in this beer. Aroma of light bready malt, some citrus zest and grassy hops. Taste is light, heavy carbonation, llight bodied with some white bread flavor. Finish is clean crisp and hardly any bitterness.

Nice beer, not their best, but still better than a lot of them. I miss bridgeport beers in general and like most of what they do.
