BridgePort Stumptown Tart (Cherry Wheat)

Brewed by BridgePort Brewing (Gambrinus Company)
Style: Fruit Beer
Portland, Oregon USA

A wonderful belgian nose shows sour cherries green apples and some age, I would not pin down oak casks if I did not know but can definitely pick it up now. The intro is almost flanders in style but quickly detours and shows slight oxidation and beautiful sour cherry and sour apple flavors. Which I find quite refreshing in the heat. The malt is light but fitting and the hops are spot on. Overall a very good Belgium style fruit beer.

22 oz, 5 bucks at whole foods, i am glad i tired it, i am always looking for something different, i wont buy it again

Oregon Brew Fest: reddish orange with fizzy white head, aroma of cherries, flavor has tons of sour cherries mixed nicely with pale malt.

22 oz bottle via Fred Meyer. I cannot believe they even had this. They never have squat there, let alone limited release micros. YeehaW!. Pours a hazy amber with a small white head. Nose is sour fruit..cherries, apple, and a bit of wood. Taste is ...diffent. My first sip tells me this is not your typical over the top fruit beer..it is more of a hop vs fruit...balanced to the point that they almost cancel each other out..or do they just blend perfectly..hmm, lets try a few more sips. Well i can see people either loving or hating this beer. Personally i find it TOO balanced. I either like beer to have a tiny bit in the fruit dept, or go over the top and be all fruit. THis one is just too balanced for me. Body is medium, carbonation is moderate/high. Finish is pretty dry. I think if i had another bottle i would lay it down for a year. Abv is well hidden so gets extra credit for that..i would have guessed 6.3, not 8.3%!

Found in Brown Jug in Anchorage AK. Pours clear and bubbly, golden color and a white head that fades FAST. Sweet aroma, some sour cherry tartness and a little oakiness. A sour mash taste upfront, a good wheat character, malty and hints of cherry and some farmhouse notes. A clean easy drinker, light body and full flavored. Goes down really smooth, an a bit complex for a fruity wheat ale, I like it. Seems like it could be labled a sour beer.

I actually quite liked this beer, though I would label it a sour beer instead of fruit beer. The cherries really make the body so face squinching bitter, and not really sweet. However, this doesn’t taste like cherries per se.

Golden ale with orangey hints,large bubbly off white head. Subdued aromas,wheat,barn and pepper. Intresting tase..strong wheatiness overlayed by tart cherrys with a bi of pit thrown in. Some alcohol tasted at end. Not bad on the palate not thin but I would say sprightly, good summer drinking. OK beer good drinking for the alcohol%.

A golden ale with a thin white head. Nice light aroma of barnyard, oak, epsom salt and sour cherries. In mouth, a light cooling wheat with light cork notes, sour cherries, a bit of wheat malt, some lingering sourness. Interesting and refreshing, even for a 8% beer. Bomber, 4.49$, Bottle Barn.
