BridgePort Long Ball Ale Stats:
Description: Triple-hopped light bodied summertime-style brew with the body of the beer completely from BridgePort’s regular high-color pale malt which gives a subtle pleasant biscuit-like malt flavor. Beer maintains a smooth bittering profile at an easy-to-drink 28 IBUs. The Meridian dry hops create an aroma and flavor that is very distinctive and reminiscent of sweet Meyer lemons.
Ingredients: Triple-hopped using Cascades in the kettle, Sterlings in the Hopjack, and Meridians as a dry hop at the end of fermentation.
IBU’s: 28 ABV: 5.0 % Color: Golden OG: 12.75
