Commercial Description:
The pioneering spirit that made us Oregon's Oldest Craft Brewery ® is the inspiration behind our new European inspired big beautiful blonde ale, S?pris. Drawing from our heritage of fine ale craftsmanship, we pursued a fresh flavor direction that would encapsulate our history as well as our vision of bringing the best flavors of the world to your pint glass. S?pris is crafted with European two-row malt to maintain a clean, rich flavor that is delicate and immensely satisfying. The unique blend of hops from Germany, Czech Republic and Slovenia deliver a smooth flavor that contributes to the overall unique balanced dimensions S?pris offers. S?pris is naturally conditioned in the bottle and keg in the BridgePort tradition, and that’s where the similarity to our other beers ends. S?pris brings a distinct experience to the palate with ample effervescence and understated robustness.

On tap at Bridgeport, Portland. Like a Belgian wit with a bit more tangerine, with a passing nod to a tripel. More bananary esters. Nicelemon. Good wit, full of flavour, but still that clean feel. Flavours are intense too. Lovely

12oz bottle. Poured a medium and lightly hazy golden color with a smaller sized white head. Aromas of fruitiness and light yeast. Tastes of bread, fruits, and light citrus.

Chromate yellow, chill haze; no head. Bit of glue, gassy nose and some pale malts. Slightly toasted notes in the taste above the pale malts, cereals and pineapple-ish retronasal - or is that the contrast with the other beers in this area? Slightly burning MF, but especially very fizzy, oversaturated feel. Strange - another one I don’t dig the intention of. IMO useless, but I seem to be in a minority (WBC medal winner...)

Pours a lightly hazy blonde color with a quickly dissipating head and no lacing. Moderate carbonation. The nose is light with some pilsner malts, yeasty esters and light spicy citrus notes. The flavor is zesty with some yeast and spice but has a musky wheat or pale malt quality in the mouthfeel. The hops overall are just right, complimenting everything without being too upfront. In the PNW, hops are usually a side dish, not a spice. This is different for a change, which I like. The body is moderate for the style and overall a decent attempt at an american belgian ale. I could drink more of these.
