Commercial Description:
Fiercely local, drawing on indigenous ingredients from the hop fields of the Willamette Valley and the barley fields of the high Northwest desert. This pale ale is round and soft on the palate, finishing crisply, to capture the flavor and spirit of the Pacific Northwest in every pint and bottle.

I like this pale ale and thats saying alot because I think that pale ales taste worse than eating an acidic sweaty pussy.

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.

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. (on tap, BridgePort BrewPub, Portland)

Caramel sweet malt aroma. Finely balanced hops, delicate. Some good yeast esters. Mellow, but balanced.

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.

Quite simply, this is the most perfectly balanced beer I have ever had. 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.

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)
