12oz bottle poured into a pint glass. Beer was bottled on April 28th. Pours a cloudy, yellow-orange. Lots of carbonation and a half inch of head that dissipates fairly quickly and leaves some nice lacing. Bitter hops come out strong on the nose with a unique combination of lemon citrus and bananas. I wouldn't say the hops are fresh and floral per say but Bridgeport may just be using a different blend than I am used to. The malt is just barely there in the background to round the scent out. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with just the right amount of carbonation. Light enough to be a session beer for someone who just can't steer far from an IPA. The taste is hoppy and bitter but in that English ale style not the west coast style. This reminds me a lot of Belhaven's Twisted Thistle IPA: not super bright, in-your-face hops but a welcome break from my steady diet of uber-hoppy IPAs. The bitterness is toned down enough and the malt comes through to give the finish a much cleaner, and mildly sweet quality than you would expect from the more en vogue IPAs. Overall very drinkable and an IPA lover's ideal session beer.

Last 12 oz can of six, October 2018 production date. Bright amber with a slight haze. Huge white head that slowly receded to 1/8-inch after five minutes. Mildly floral aroma. Balanced flavor with a nice hop bite at the end.
I considered it the standard of an IPA in its day, and it was always in the fridge. But this was the first one in five years. The beer market and I moved on, apparently — Bridgeport closed in March. Maybe this is not quite the same beer? I remember it being bottle conditioned with a little yeast sediment in the past.
This was a bit old for a fair review but the last of the breed.

Mild and dry, this isn’t as hoppy as a good portion of the NW IPAs. Pours a light amber with beautiful creamy head, lots of lacing. Subdued hoppy nose and taste is more hops, watery mouthfeel and short and dry finish.

Loved this beer and drank it often when I lived in the Portland area. Great on tap as a casked IPA, too. Sadly, I rarely see it at my usual shopping venues these days. Next time I do I will pickup a six pack for old times sake.

Out of a bottle while listening to James Taylor and The Eagles.
The number one word that comes to mind with this brew is "toxic." The initial smell is reminiscent of paint, and like latex it coats your nostrils. Doesn't taste as bad as it smells, though.

Served warm. Cloudy. Bitter but lacking on hop flavor. I am not a fan.
