BridgePort Hop Czar Imperial IPA

Brewed by BridgePort Brewing (Gambrinus Company)
Style: Imperial/Double IPA
Portland, Oregon USA

On tap and in bottle at Bridgeport in Portland.
Excellent Imperial...100 IBU’s but it tastes like 75. Easy drinking. Great floral hop aroma. Great head and lacing. Could be slightly better mouth feel. Like a normal Bridgeport IPA on steroids.

22oz bottle brought back from Portland, OR. Thick, glowing orange brown color. Nice lasting quarter inch head. Seawater and hop aroma. The taste is full and delicious. Earthy hops and balanced maltiness perfectly balance themselves. Some hop syrup tastes, with a subdued dry, sandy mouthfeel. This is a World Class IIPA.

22oz bottle. Pours cloudy amber with a small white head, some lace. Smells very fruity sweet with hops and malts, malts are slightly dish towel. Tastes hoppy fruity sweet, very very nice. Slightly grassy and spicy, less malt on the flavor then on the nose. Medium body, good carbonation. Great beer!

Draught at the Bridgeport Brewery. Amber-orange color with lace. Very earthy hop aroma with cut grass, cow shit and marijuana. Flavors of grassy hops, pine, dark fruit, caramel, with a long, earthy, hop and grass finish. Very complex hops and enough malt to make it work well. Wacky but interesting aromas, and a rich, full mouth. The best of the day.

Bomber courtesy of kenb. Pours a hazy dark gold with a thick 2 finger off-white head that leaves great lacing. The nose is floral and citrus hops. The taste is caramel, citrus, tart grapefruit and pine. Medium semi-creamy mouthfeel. Very nice IIPA. Thanks Ken

22oz. Bomber Silver Foil Pours a nice cloudy golden orange color, nice carbonation, nice little creamy off-white head, with some nice sticky lacing left behind. The nose is hoppy, with a nice malt note added in, some nice citrus, slight pine. The taste is sweet, pretty hoppy, nice maltiness added, nice citrus/pine notes. Medium body, pretty nice bitter dry finish. Drinkable, really enjoying this brew, recommended.

On tap at BridgePort in Portland, OR--Poured a bright thick orange-amber body with a healthy white head. Bitter, citrus, grapefruit nose. Lots of great hoppiness and a rich malty spine. It’s great to see that BridgePort finally made an IIPA and this one is wonderful!

woohoo, my first beer this year. Rewarding myself for losing 20lbs.... Pours a clear copper with a massive beige head.mmmmm, 4 months between IIPA’s is waaaay to long. And this has been in my fridge that long calling out to me every time i open the door lol... Nose is hops, all hops..some grassyiness and orange/fruit. My palette has changed, and this is mass bitter..but it is all good. It is wondrous piney, grapefruit, orange rind explosion of hoppiness. Finish is a bit metallic. Body is medium. I bow to the Hop Czar. May his reign be long!
