Dec 4, 2005 Hazy yellow-bronze in color. Thin disappearing head. Aroma is citrus, hoppy and pine. Palate is thin to medium bodied with a slightly fizzy texture. Flavor is lightly sweet, slight citrus, slight bitterness with a faint bitter aftertaste. Not real impressed, but not depressed. Overall it seems a bit weak. Maybe upper middle of the road IPA, on the continuum.

Nov 29, 2005 Pale, redish ale. White, fluffy head. Light citrus aroma. I am a bit disappointed in this one. Very quaffable, but not hoppy enough. Too smooth. Good, but I had my hopes up...

Nov 28, 2005 Bottle. Poured a hazy amber/orange with small particles suspended. Small off white head that quickly diminished. Picked up a citrus, grapefruit, hop aroma with some light malt overtones. Body was medium, slightly watery, with soft carbonation. Tasted light grapefruit and a slight malt sweetness. A pretty straight forward IPA. I am a huge hop head and this did not quite have the bite I prefer, but very drinkable and well done.

Nov 26, 2005 Hoppy aroma with some sweetness. Pours a golden blonde. Very dry, some hopiness, with a sweet finish.

Nov 23, 2005 Updated: Sep 1, 2006Re-rate. After extensive exposure to several of the better IPAs of late (and growing QUITE fond of the style!), this one has garnered new-found respect. This is one of the best all-around, not excessively hopped or strong IPAs out there, and is widely available at a decent price at that. Yeah the Stone’s are great, but Bridgeport is far more drinkable on a regular basis, and appeals to more of my "regular" beer drinking friends as well. This one’s DEFINITELY underrated.

Nov 23, 2005 Hazy gold, nice white head that recedes to a fine bubbly thin layer that perists to the end of the glass. Inviting citrus and spice hop aroma. Caramel, grapefruit malt flavors do not quite balance the strong hop character in the flavor profile. Bitter finish. Pleasant and quite drinkable, but just needs a little more malt presence.

Nov 22, 2005 Cloudy yellow pour with a decent sized eggshell white head. Real nice, mild hoppy aroma, mostly citrus, some pine. Kind of a weak taste though, in my opinion. Grapefruit and a bready malt backbone. Nice bitter finish, however. Grapefuit lingers into the finish. Nothing spectacular, but not bad either.

Nov 18, 2005 Pours with a nice big, slightly off-white, fluffy, head. Has a light orange body. Aroma of full malts and citrus hops. Flavor dominated by sour, bitter hops, with a weak malt balance, and a floral backround. Also detected a hint of corn. If this beer had just a wee bit more sweetness, and maltiness it would be better IMO. Also the palate is watery and aggresively carbonated. Not what I expected.
