| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Mar 30, 2008 Sweet piney nose. Cloudy amber with a long-lasting medium head. Caramel apricot sweetness with complex hop balance. Well-carbonated, with a clean hoppy finish. This is not a huge hop bomb by any means, but it is an excellent example of a reserved IPA with elegance.. mar (1981), Dallas, Texas, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 13, 2008 murky yellow pour with a thin white head. very hoppy, citrusy scent. the hops are there but it’s a funky hop taste that i’m not real sure about. highibus (445), Mill Creek, Washington, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Mar 12, 2008 Hazy straw color with white head. Aroma is bright spicy hops with some malt sweetness coming through. Flavor hits up front with the hops, balances nicely with the sweetness and then a lingering hop as well. Really nice IPA and has been one of my favorites for a long time. dkingsella (92), Portland, Oregon, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Mar 8, 2008 An old stand by in these parts. For me. Nice nose with citrus and floral notes. Pours a nice amber color with a fairly frothy head that disappears pretty quickly. Leaves some lacing. Not over the top with hops bitterness, but nice crisp and refreshing. JohnCoyne (70), USA
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Mar 5, 2008 Smelled lightly of citrus but not as much as expected from an IPA. Poured an orange color in the glass with a small white head. Tasted of hops but too much carbonation weakened the flavor that was already weak to begin with. Finished bitter but still too weak on the hops. Expected more from an Oregon brewery and was disappointed. JinHutto (5), USA does not count | 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Mar 3, 2008 I expected more from this one, the bitterness is there but the aroma is very weak. Need the aroma to balance and it just wasn’t there.... KDorgan12 (169), Memphis, Tennessee, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 3, 2008 Bottle Conditioned-Memphis. Nose is VERY aggressive with hops. Piney and citrus. Very easy to drink and enjoyable. Best IPS in this area for a while. brianprentiss (475), Portland, Oregon, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Mar 1, 2008 this beer is an okay ipa, i expected more from bridgeport. it’s not bad but i wish this was more of a homerun since the local safeway often sells it for 5.99 a sixer.
