BridgePort Hop Harvest Ale (-2006)

Formerly brewed at BridgePort Brewing (Gambrinus Company)
Style: Bitter
Portland, Oregon USA

Crystal clear body topped by an off-white head. Aroma is medium sweet, grapefruit, some pine. Taste is medium sweet, not much on the tongue, bit of fruit. FInishes with moderate citrus bitterness. Watery light body.

On tap at Bridgeport, Portland. Hazy copper with thin off white head. Lovely hop aroma, some earthiness, good fruit. Not sure what the fruit is, almost tropical and then I guess cascade style earthy hop finish. Nice

I was really expecting this thing to be so packed with hops that it could give a grown man memory lapses, but instead it turned out to be a smooth pale ale with a crisp clean hop addition. No doubt the hops were very fresh and citrusy, but the brew it was in was very plain, although good for a hot day, nothing too special.

Good citrus flowery nose with fruity malt flavor

[Tastival 2006 SNOB Event – Tap] A nice tasty fresh hopped beer with a nice head and a clear dark amber color. This was a very nice easy to drink fresh hopped brew.

Tap. Nice floral fruit aroma. Interesting fruit aftertaste. In the cask version it tastes like fruit punch, but it is not as pronounced in the regular tap.

Tapped at 2006 Fresh Hop Festival in Portland, OR--Word is, the impression of this freshly hopped brew varies from one pour to the next. The take here was a remarkably dissimilar taste with an astute and sophisticated Centennial hops texture.

Red-orange. Nose is typical hoppy and citric. Flavor is a bit sweet and a bit citric, but mostly it’s just bitter, no nice esters or fruity characterisitics, just astringent bitterness. Unpleasantly watery and uncarbonated, nasty mouthfeel. Not even vaguely good.
