COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This English style IPA is a full-flavored, full-bodied brew that has a big bold malt character and intense aromatics. It’s a well-balanced, golden-colored brew that has a crisp hop finish that doesn’t bite. With its palate cleansing finish, IPA is a perfect for highly spiced dishes with curry, ginger, garlic or cumin. This classic English style IPA is brewed with: 2-row Pale malt and is hopped with Challenger and East Kent Goldings hops

I’m dissapointed: I drink an IPA for the hops, and this one didn’t have it. I consider the Bridgeport IPA mildly hoppy, and this didn’t even come close. It was a fine beer, perhaps, but not for an IPA, maybe meerly a pale.

Clear copper pour with a creamy white head. Aroma of hops, grapefruit, caramel, and pine. Grapefruit, caramel flavor with some pine and hop ending. Easy drinker. Nice beer!

Mild hops out of a bottle to a glass. Dark amber color. Good head, with mild hoppy flavor. Good palate.

Beerathon (635) - Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, USA - MAY 23, 2013
A very refreshing IPA that isn’t that bitter. Typical hop presence in the nose, followed by a semi-sweet malt backbone. Slight sticky mouth feel, which is appealing. Light orange color and thin head with lacing.

r464 (1476) - Earth, Pennsylvania, USA - MAY 6, 2013
More malt and earthiness than most IPAs, caramel nut flavor leads to a skunky dirtiness and a hoppy finish. Not a standout IPA.

mvp (89) - Harper Woods, Michigan, USA - MAY 1, 2013
cloudy dark yellow appearance. pretty good aroma though. bread, hay. leaves a dry taste in my mouth. A better than average beer. Not much of a citrusey flavor.

bensonius (4) - British Columbia, CANADA - APR 29, 2013 does not count
Slight citrus with a hint of spruce aroma. Light mouth feel overpowered by bitterness with only a slight hop cut to it. More of a lager with more hop than your run of the mill mainstream beer.

Put one of these down last trip to Seattle. Not really what I’m looking for in an IPA - no hop punch

DocLock (6826) - Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA - APR 20, 2013
Bottle from Capone’s. Pours translucent dark straw with splotchy off-white head. Nose is very spicy, with white pepper, earthy florals, pale malt, noble hops. Tastes hoppy, in a noble sense, with a lot of bittering flavor, white peppery spice, pale malt, and a big IBU load.
