Bridge Prime Time
Pours typical with a moderate light head. Smells hoppy and brewery like. Taste is mainly mild citrus hop, towards lemon mainly. Fairly watery otherwise not much malt makes it through. It's not bad, but it kind of leaves a bit to be desired.

Bridge Get to the Choppa
On tap at Portland Craft, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma is very subdued in the hop department, with light pine and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour has a nice piney hop character, light floral notes, touch of orange peel, and crisp biscuity malt. Lacking hoppy punch but it’s clean and drinkable enough. It’s alright.

Bridge Get to the Choppa
Can from High Point, Vancouver
Hazy pale blond colour. Mild aroma of piney hops, with a touch of orange peel. Bone dry; the malt base is crisp and delicate; the hopping is powerful, lots of bitterness, with piney resins, and bitter orange.
Modern IPA, worth trying.

Bridge Pancakes Again!
Poured from 473mL can (pkg 01/14/2021; thanks fiulijn). Near black with beige head. Bargain bin drip coffee, some roast, touch of soy sauce, no maple syrup. Probably just okay when it first came out, but also seems to have deteriorated with age. Meh.

Dink pour @ Good Co (Colony) Northwoods. Clear amber brown with small beige head. Biscuity, vanilla, a bit sweet, with a feint bitter finish, needs more chocolate profile. Below average.

Bottle from BCL bought in May 2019 for $7 CAD. Attack: crisp big sour Mids: sour tart cranberry, lvl2-sweetness, puckery sour, thin malt Finish: lingering light fruity yeasty Overall: flavour is light and basic, doesn't offer much complexity or depth.

Bridge Trip Plan IPA
Poured from 473mL can. Hidden at the back of the fridge, pretty old now. Hazy gold with small white head. A bit of oxidation on the nose, not as noticeable on the taste. Old school style, mild caramel malt, touch of pine hops (not a ton of hop quality left). Okay.

Bridge Prime Time Tropical
A sixer of cans from BC Liquour in north Burnaby. A pale amber, minimal white head, fruity mango nose. Mango and little else on the palate. Frankly not getting pineapple, but then again their respective flavor profiles overlap a lot. Anyway, the mango note is thin, possibly artificial. Nah, I prefer the pale ale.

Bridge Prime Time Tropical
Poured from the tap. Hazy yellow with white head. Subdued watered down pineapple and mango with decent amount of carbonation and grain, and a mildly heavy yeast character that sits in your stomach. Disappointing.

Bridge Trail
Cloudy gold body and minimal foam. Heavy piney candy chewy hops on the nose, old school IPA style where you throw so many hops in you hope noone notices you don't know what you're doing. Taste is slight malt and surprisingly minimal hops, ending way too watery. Textbook example of a textbook IPA.

Bridge Moira
Light weak pale straw body and minimal foam. Very weak aroma of rosewater on soft grain, vague lagery hops. Taste is chewy grain with slight floral notes, ending full and dry. Not a disaster but I certainly see room for improvement.

Bridge Prime Time Tropical
Cloudy yellow body and minimal foam. Smells of nice sweet mango and pineapple, maybe vague hops. Taste is bitter grain, soft hops, mango on the back end. I think a beer like this should have more sweetness, but otherwise it's all right.
