BridgePort IPA

Brewed by BridgePort Brewing (Gambrinus Company)
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Portland, Oregon USA

Bottle. Slight head on the pour. Color is very hazy golden - almost looks like a wheat. Slight hop citrus aroma. Clean hop taste, pine accents. Carbonation is there. Seems like a pretty good beer. Not the best IPA I have tasted but not the worst. Could be a pretty good session beer which is suprsing for an IPA. Pretty good beer but not indicative of an IPA or I should say for the US interpretation of the style. Kind of light in all departments , but again, a good sesssion beer

12 oz bottle. Pours a light golden/amber color with a decent white head that falls down to a nice lacing ring. Very citrus nose with a slight pine note. Very smooth almost creamy texture filled with citrus and pine flavors to match the nose. Nice little bitter hit at the end, not a lot but not a ton. Maybe a little more bitterness would be nice being as it’s an IPA. Overall a very solid, nice beer. I’ll have another please!

Solid, gives off a great feeling of malts and nice hoppy flavor. water feels a bit hard but the rest works.

Not great, but decent. Bitter piney and grapefruit hops dominate the flavor. Not much else to speak of. Lingering bitter finish. Taste is slightly unbalanced and fizzy to me. Light bodied. Pretty drinkable.

The aroma is kind of cheap with lager like malt and hops that are grassy and citrusy but unpleasant and not the right strength for an IPA. The appearance is pale gold with a small head. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is smooth. Overall not the best IPA but drinkable enough.

Have enjoyed this many times but never wrote a review for it. Pours hazy amber with a one inch cream color head, good lacings. Aroma is floral hops. Taste is bitter citrus piney hops with sweet malts. Actually quite subdued compared to many IPA’s available now. Makes for a good session IPA. Easy drinking, bottle conditioned beer.

On tap. Poured hazy golden color. A very different IPA compared to other west coast examples. Good malt character to balance the hops. Citrus and earthy aroma as well. Not too bitter or too anything. Very enjoyable.

A very do-able IPA that is easily accessible in most supermarkets on the West Coast. I’ve seen this many, many times while shopping so in a pinch I picked up a sixer for the weekend and it came thru in fine fashoin.

The beer pours out a golden/orange color with a bit of haze to it. A nice 2-finger cap sat atop and while enjoying the aroma I could pick up some sweet oranges, some soft floral notes with a light malt character present. Decidedly hoppy up front, with the citrus hop attack asserting itself front and center. A second salvo of floral hops also does a number and it does get balanced by a good showing of malts. What’s not to enjoy about this beer. Easy to find, easy to enjoy...good makings of a nice beer.
