Has a good taste and looks good drfreedom (7), portland, Oregon, USA does not count | 5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 20/20 | Apr 9, 2004 this is my all time fav. starting with a nice simple blue label that pays tribute to the official bird of portland.
great clean taste, very hoppy without being a "brewers" beer. some brewers overwhelm me with hops but the bridgeport guys keep it solid.
my overall fav. best from a tap. Nuffield (2749), Roseville, Minnesota, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Mar 16, 2004 Clear, light orange color, some head retained as a ring. A gently hopped pale ale, the Willamette hops leaving a malt-based fruitiness to come through with some citrus notes as well.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 7, 2004 Caramel sweet malt aroma. Finely balanced hops, delicate. Some good yeast esters. Mellow, but balanced. milljame99 (24), Corvallis, Oregon, USA
| 4.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | Feb 24, 2004 Very clear clean look, orangeish hue to it. Fruity smell, hops in the aroma. VERY crisp and a bit bitter but in a good way. Very approachable drinkable beer.

Head and shoulders better than any of the other Portland brews. See other comments for very accurate beer-snob description, hoppy nose, hint of citrus, yadda yadda yadda. drinkbeer (280), Redondo Beach, California, USA
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Feb 13, 2004 Light copper color, little head. As far as the taste goes, well, there is not much to go on really. The lack of hop presence was a turn-off. This beer is a bit light in the loafers (if you know what I mean)
