22oz via Capital Market. This one comes out a hazy orange with a large beige head. Nose is floral and tangerine. Mmmm, yummy stuff. Very very flavorful with the hops without being bitter. Starts out with a honeyish note, then the hops quickly kick in...orange, grapefruit, apricot and pine. Finish is bittersweet and ’balanced’ in that the hops take center stage riding a nice solid malt wave. This is world class stuff. Body is medium, carbonation is moderately high. Centennial hops frakkin rule, as does this awesome beer! Best IPA i have ever tasted!!!

Fruity green aroma with grass and lemons. hazy amber in color with a thick off-white head. Solid zing of resinous hops, incredibly juicy, with lemonycitrus stealing the show. The malts are certainly viable for such a staunch beer. Creamy and fairly fulbodied. Lingering bitterness but not in a coarse way. Excellent! Thanks André!

Bottle. Coppery amber colored and clear. Nice off-white head forms and lingers, leaves a nice bit of lacing behind as I drink. Aroma is great, fresh pine, fruity, really a wonderful boquet. Medium bodied, nicely carbonated. Bitter yet well balanced, hop flavors are piney. I didn’t pick up any grassy notes on this one. This was really well done by Bridgeport, hopefully they make this a yearly tradition!

Dark burnt orange beer with a beautiful eggshell white head. Attractivly murky. Very strong and fresh aromas, very liottle pine, just fresh hop, quite breathtaking in its simplicity. Great hoppy taste, fresh hops, slightly lemony with a touch of almost green onion, but its not unpleasant, malts play a minor role in this one. Great mouthfeel , very nice indeed, clean finish. Overall I found this a fantastiic beer..on how I would have loved to have tasted it REALLY fresh. By the way i thought this was more an APA than a DIPA.

sample on 6/5/08, rating from notes. extremely fresh hop profile... excellent. wonderful hop character in the aroma... floral, citrus and other standard hop distinctions. citrus on the palate, nice medium body and excellent bitter finish. glad I got to try this one....
