Seven Brides Brewing Company Reviews

Beese	3.5 Seven Brides LPA (Laurens Pale Ale) 16oz bottle from Trader Joe’s, Portland, OR and drunk on 09/10/2010. Malty nose with grassy hop hints. Sweet grainy flavours upfront and then a building bitter linger. Wednesday, September 16, 2020
Beese	3.6 Seven Brides Rose's Imperial PIlsner Keg at Bailey’s Taproom, Portland, OR on 31/08/2009. I do like an Imperial Pilsner, it has to be said, and this was very pleasant. Big malty nose, with dried fruit and floral hops bouncing out. Fairly sweet flavour, with good depth. Tuesday, June 9, 2020
coasternut	3.4 Seven Brides Frankenlou's IPA Rated 2-2-2019. Don't really remember this beer, but from the specs I would have thought I would have given it a higher rating. I really like hoppy beers if they are done right and something must have been a little off with this one. Saturday, February 2, 2019
coasternut	3.1 Seven Brides Rose's Imperial PIlsner Rated 2-2-2019. Don't remember much about this beer either good or bad. From my rating I would say it was nothing special, but decent. Saturday, February 2, 2019
coasternut	3.2 Seven Brides Maggies Marzen Rated 2-2-2019. Another beer I don't really remember. From looking at the ratings I can see a lot of their beers don't really have any high ratings, maybe if they had some really good beers, they might still be in business. Saturday, February 2, 2019

Reid	3.6 Seven Brides Ella Weezer IPA Pint at Wolfgang's Thirst Parlor in Stayton OR. $4. On sale. Clear dark gold color..small wispy head. Aroma is not of grape like hops and pear skin. Taste similar..this has to have New Zealand Ella hope..duh.the name! Good refreshing mouth feel. Nice beer. Thursday, August 30, 2018
wilmst	2.6 Seven Brides Becky's Black Cat Porter Disappointing. Pours black with a good head. Pretty smooth with notes of coffee and chocolate. Too bitter though and not enough malt. Almost has a buttery taste. It’s just not sweet enough for a porter. Go with the more well known Oregon porters. This stuff can’t hold a candle to Deschutes black butte porter. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone Saturday, May 12, 2018
BuckeyeBoy	3.1 Seven Brides Frankenlou's IPA 22oz bottle pours out amber topped with a sand head. Nose is light pine citrus hops some light floral notes. Tatse is more of the nice light hops floral perfume notes and a cereal malt. Tuesday, May 1, 2018
perezs25	3.1 Seven Brides Frankenlou's IPA 22oz bottle pours hazy light amber. 1” off-white head, short-lived and average lacing. Delicate floral hops fragrance, with also malty tones. Bitter forward taste, grainy, medium malt. Lingering puckering bitter aftertaste a little astringent. Overall good IPA for one or two. Expected more of other more fresh hops characters. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone Sunday, March 11, 2018
mrdrock	3.4 Seven Brides Becky's Black Cat Porter Thick head like a chocolate shake. Malty aroma Big mouth feel with light bite on the tongue Chocolate, coffee taste Smooth aftertaste ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone Saturday, November 18, 2017
stchloe	4 Seven Brides Marionberry Saison A beautiful pour, purple with a bit of crimson, very well done saison nicely mild malt and yeasts that help bring out just a hint of berry/fruity tart/sweet notes Monday, July 17, 2017
Strykzone	3.4 Seven Brides Frankenlou's IPA Bomber from hayduke that we had together via facebook chat. Dark honey looking gold. A very big off white head becomes the Matterhorn in appearance. Cool looking lacing. I smell apples and then citrus with caramel. A big biting bitterness as soon as this hits my mouth. Bitter and tart and herbal. My bitterness-O-Meter is pegged! But there is some very nice citrus and tropical flavors that manage to sneak in. But this is an absolute bitter hop bomb. It is kind of like bringing an air raid light when you need a flashlight. Just massive overkill. Saturday, May 6, 2017
hayduke	3.1 Seven Brides Frankenlou's IPA Shared with Strykzone on Facebook Chat. Pours copper amber. Off white head. Nose of citrus and floral hops. Medium body. Flavor is kind of acrid, with and in your face bitterness. Some odd flavors here. I still get citrus. Not a lot of balance here. Finished quite bitter. Hard drinking with all that bitterness. Saturday, May 6, 2017
Headbanger	2.9 Seven Brides Emily's Ember Draft 8/21/16 (Low Bar Vancouver, WA)-Pours amber with a small head. Aroma of malt, caramel, and slight hops. Taste of the same. This light to medium bodied brew is rather tasty. Tuesday, March 7, 2017
5000	3.1 Seven Brides Kili's Kolsch Bottle: Hazy straw, a bit dirty, strong carbonation, huge fluffy white head, spotty lacing. Bit of an astringent straw/hay on the nose. Straw and hay to start, long grass, a touch of sweetness to make it interesting. A bit overcarbonated tho, BURP! Moderate body and mouthfeel. Not crisp but also not dull. Seems middle of the road. Just a smidge of ash or dust in the background. Meh... decent. Sunday, October 2, 2016
teamsale	3.3 Seven Brides Frankenlou's IPA Bomber pours a mostly clear copper with a two finger beige head and excellent lacing. Smells floral hoppy and malt. Flavor is interesting, abundant hop bitterness with obvious heavy malt, but isn’t sweet at all. Just as massive hop and malt in the finish and aftertaste. One of the most bitter beers I’ve ever had. Is anything but average, has its pluses and minuses. Sunday, August 14, 2016
Reid	3.3 Seven Brides Raising Helles 22 oz bottle purchased from Rot’s Sunnyslope Market ni South Salem. $3.99 Pours a slightly hazy golden colour with a nice frothy white head..that leaves some good lace. Aroma is honeyish, sweet, with a bit of fudge and caramel..slight floral hop. Taste the same as the aroma but not too sweet,..there is a bothersome stickiness about it in the end, not bad but takes away from the beer. The mouth feel is perfect for the style though. An OK beer but again could be better Saturday, April 23, 2016
donandres	3.1 Seven Brides Frankenlou's IPA 22 ounce bottle to glass Appearance: light amber, hazy, cloudy, white foam Aroma: strong aroma of hops Taste: very bitter Palate:full body, thick feel, lively, long finish Overall: good beer, tried because of the 100+ IBU not for repeat and not looking forward to Drank: April 10, 2016 Monday, April 11, 2016
mcberko	2.6 Seven Brides Marionberry Saison On tap at Saraveza Farmhouse Festival, pours a hazy bright reddish amber with a small off-white head. Aroma brings out marionberries, some nail polish, and light wine barrels. Flavour brings out marionberries, medium tartness and nail polish. It’s not overly elegant, but it works okay. Meh. Tuesday, March 29, 2016
BrewDad	4 Seven Brides I Love Hops Saturday, March 12, 2016
Reid	3.4 Seven Brides Stammtisch IPL pint served with dinner at Venti’s Taphouse in S.Salem OR. $5 Clear pale golden lager with a small bubbly white head. Good clean grassy hop and biscuit malt aromas. Taste similar but with the hops to the fore..and the malts appear as a strange but nice creamy crackerish flavor. Light and easy on the tongue. Very nice hoppy lager. Sunday, January 10, 2016
rosenbergh	1.1 Seven Brides Frankenlou's IPA 22 oz bottle. From a kiosk in Portland, OR. Deep amber golden color with a small foamy white head. Gym hall, sweat, apples and mild sweetness in the aroma... downright horrible aroma... I’m about to throw up... The flavor is vomit, pine, birch... all the woods and dryness and sweetness. Incredibly bad. I can’t give any craft brew points as the beer is undrinkable. Saturday, October 17, 2015
DuffMan	3.4 Seven Brides Frankenlou's IPA Tall can, shared with Parksy. Medium orange amber, massive off white head. Caramel and citrus with piney undertones, quite malty, moderate bitterness. Not bad. Wednesday, October 7, 2015
euniceradio	3.2 Seven Brides Frankenlou's IPA 22 bomber to cervoise. Pours hazy amber, HUGE creamy off-white head. Aroma of caramel malts and grapefruit. Taste is caramel, grapefruit, light pine. Finish is grapefruit bitter, powerful and long-lasting. Thursday, July 16, 2015
mjg74	2.7 Seven Brides Strawberry Blonde Ale Sampler from Growl Movement, Keizer. Medium golden in color. Sweet berry nose. Flavor is grainy with a little berry. Some diacetyl in the flavor. Decent, but a little off. Monday, July 6, 2015

bpreo	4.7 Seven Brides Kelley's Irish Stout Excellent Irish-style Stout, on Nitro. Had this at the First National Taphouse, Eugene, OR. Sunday, April 26, 2015
douglas88	3.3 Seven Brides Drama Princess Bomber from a grocery store. Pours a clear orange color with a small white head. A light earthy toast nose. The flavor is mild, herbal tea, lemons, biscuit. A distinct British yeast, Crystal. Smooth. Good. Sunday, April 5, 2015
fiulijn	3.6 Seven Brides Frankenlou's IPA Bottle from Fred Mayer, Portland Amber color, darker shade, bright, clean, with small head. Strangely, the aroma is cheesy. Lean mouthfeel, rather dry; the flavor is mostly caramel with a light bready and biscuity tone, lightly cheesy; strong bitterness but without the expected hop brightness, some resins are there though. Because of the strong yeast and caramel character, this beer reminds a lot an ESB, with more hopping. Weird but not bad. Unexpected. Friday, April 3, 2015
mjg74	3.7 Seven Brides Monki Love Growlette from Growl Movement. Super thick looking black in color upon pouring. Brownish/red foam on top, but just a trace. Fairly sweet roasred coffee nose with quite a bit of alcohol. Sweet and roasty up front. Quite sweet with a bit of milk sugar. Some coffee with a lot of roast. Roasty finish with virtually no trace of alcohol. I thought it would be really boozy considering the strong alcohol in the nose. Tasty impy, definitely on the sweet end of the spectrum. Tuesday, March 31, 2015
Fatehunter	3.6 Seven Brides Lil's Pils Pours a finger of head on a clear straw body. The aroma is metal and a little lemon. The taste is solid pine bitterness with a watery finish. The texture is crisp. Great aroma and good taste. Monday, March 30, 2015
BeerFunGuy	3.8 Seven Brides Becky's Black Cat Porter Strong coffee notes punctuate this beers flavor and aroma. It has a creaminess to it and a beautiful rich black color. Wednesday, February 18, 2015
maekchu	3.3 Seven Brides Frankenlou's IPA Bomber. Caramel nose, with strong piney hops, weeds, herbs. Rich bright copper color with a thick, chunky head. Chewy caramel, hops slathered on with a trowel. Hops presence rises through mid palate and even final. Medium-heavy body, with a definite hop texture. Well, this is nearly a solid bar of hopped caramel. A bit much. Monday, February 16, 2015
p1meatloaf	2.2 Seven Brides Frankenlou's IPA 22oz Not a great IPA. Some hops but more malts. Hopefully it was old because it wasn’t too great. Saturday, February 14, 2015
mjg74	3.2 Seven Brides Lil's Pils Bomber from Roth’s. 5%. Medium golden/straw in color. Grains make up most of the nose. A sort of creaminess as well. Light and grassy up front with a touch of breadiness. Light crisp bitter finish. Drinkable and pretty clean. Monday, February 9, 2015
mjg74	3.5 Seven Brides Becky's Black Cat Porter Bomber from Roth’s. Black in color with dirty brownish head. Nose is dominated by sweet roasted maltiness. Roasty up front with some burnt roasted coffee. Finish is very roasted and burnt. Very solid, drinkable porter. Tuesday, February 3, 2015
mjg74	3.1 Seven Brides Frankenlou's IPA Bomber from Roth’s. Deep copper in color upon pouring. Nose is a little bready with some sweet fruitiness. Strong grapefruit peel throughout. A little breadiness as well. Somewhat one dimensional. Strong grapefruit peel finish. Tuesday, February 3, 2015
Alphadelic	3.9 Seven Brides Becky's Black Cat Porter Beautifully nuttiness is what carries this one throughout .With a well-crafted mix of roast and bitterness which, paired with a mid-range carbonation cuts through the deliciously creamy body. Monday, February 2, 2015
Nate213	3 Seven Brides Frankenlou's IPA Wednesday, January 14, 2015
joelwhite	3.2 Seven Brides Frankenlou's IPA Interesting IPA malty flavor up front with a great hop finish. The smell is deceiving to the flavor. Good beer! Wednesday, December 10, 2014
Sarlacc83	3.3 Seven Brides The 503 On tap at the Holiday Ale Festival A: Caramel color, thin creme head. N: Toffee, caramel, vanilla, pine, earth, tobacco, more earth and leaves, bark, oak, sour cherry. T: Very bitter, some sweetness. M: Medium heavy body, touch of carbonation, noticeable alcohol. O: A brackish barleywine with a substantial amount of bitterness from the oak. It’s a bit too much. Saturday, December 6, 2014
bpreo	1.7 Seven Brides Kili's Kolsch Clear, with very little flavor. Low alcohol percentage, which is actually welcomed at this point. Saturday, November 8, 2014
bhensonb	3.8 Seven Brides Crooked Finger IPA Bomber from Made in Oregon. Pours dirty hazy orange gold with a large creamy near-white head. Cascade aroma? Flavor is earthy with fruit. Not a lot of malt to detect - just a heck of a lot of hop. There’s an earthy hit followed by mellow sweet stone fruit flavors. Leaving lots of earthy bitter on my tongue. Very nice. Wednesday, October 29, 2014
neepsntatties	4.1 Seven Brides Monki Love On tap at Bailey’s Taproom for Brewpublic’s Killer Beer Week. Colour...jet black with a corpulent tan head. Nose...ultra roasty with gobs of dark chocolate, charred meat and oaky goodness. Palate...thick, chewy and opulent with a dry mouthfeel that still maintains a velvety quality. There’s essence of black walnuts and dutch cocoa powder as well as Brooks prunes and currant paste. The finish is long, char-like and brimming with cocoa paste. Saturday, October 25, 2014
Whatup14	3.6 Seven Brides Waldo Hills IRA Bouteille 650ml gracieuseté de Damon lors du CanBIF Fall 2014. Gushing à l’ouverture.

Goût d’alcool, houblon feuillu, terreux, malt grillé, amertume moyenne, mentholée. Carbonatation élevée, corps moyen. Friday, October 24, 2014
stevoj	3.1 Seven Brides Frankenlou's IPA I can see why the ratings on this are all over the place. For hop heads, probably a delight. Unassuming aroma, with full on bitterness in the taste, some metallic, some soapy funk. One saving grace is a beautiful pour with nice thick head and lacing. Thursday, October 16, 2014
