BridgePort IPA

Brewed by BridgePort Brewing (Gambrinus Company)
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Portland, Oregon USA

Serve in Shaker, Tulip

A slightly hazy golden/orange pour with an almost yellow head that goes quickly but a clinging lace that hangs around. An aroma that is spicy, piney, malty, and I think yeasty. A nice balance of malt and hops in this beer. A nice palate and mouthfeel that is just slightly champagnish. A good beer. One of two beers rated above 3.5 I found at the Kroger in Galveston. That is the way it should be.

Poured light orange with a good head. Aroma is very strong fresh hops. Flavor a bit washed out, but still nice and balanced. Not the strongest IPA I’ve ever had.

12oz Bottle pours out a hazy yellow topped with a white head. A very nice hop aroma. Also a good hop tast.

This was one of the first India Pale Ales I ever had and set the standard that I measure all other IPAs against. I first had this on draft at the Bridgeport brewery and was blown away. At that point I became a hop-head. Bottle conditioned and unfiltered this is Bridgeport’s showcase beer. Not overly sweet and the right amount of dryness to complement the bitterness of this American India Pale Ale.

Bottle: Hazy golden color. Aroma of hops and grass. Very crisp with a nice dry finish.

Looks like your average IPA. Aroma is somewhat subdued - Pine, grass and hops. Bitter and refreshing IPA, but nothing special. At 5.5% ABV, it’s a nice lower alcohol alternative for hop lovers to mix in there once in a while.

Pint at Taco Mac SS - Aroma of mild hops and some malt. Pours hazy gold with a medium head and good lacing. Flavor is more citrus hops than aroma with good malt in the aftertaste. Palate is sticky and tart. A good session IPA.

(Bottle) Pours hazy orange with a decent, lasting white head. Very carbonated. Moderately hoppy taste with a dry, bitter finish. Refreshing and full bodied.
