Upstream India Pale Ale is a golden amber ale that is full in body with a medium flavored malt profile that is balanced with high bitterness and a refreshingly bold hop flavor and aroma. Upstream India Pale Ale is our highest hopped beer with the bitterness weighing in at 65 IBU’s. The rich malts and increased alcohol content help to balance the bitterness and create a truly extraordinary beer drinking experience.

Copper golden colour and small white head. Aroma has hints of resin, pine and caramalt. Quite neutral. Light-bodied to medium-bodied. Some resin, caramalt, touch of wort flavour. Okish.

On tap at Upstream, pours a cloudy bright orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out resinous hops, a little pine, and caramel bready malt. Flavour is fairly bright, with a citrus hop character, some resins, and a weird chemically off-note that disturbs the palate. Flawed.

Old Market draft. Aroma is light citrus, hints of pine. The flavor is decent. Citrus hop upfront, light malt / grain through the center. Bitterness is pretty restrained. Some light lasting pine. Yeah, decent.

Draft. A- Pine, citrus. A- Golden color, clear liquid, white head. T- Pine, candy, citrus, bitter. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, bitter finish. O- Maybe the best core beer here. A decent IPA that doesn’t leave you in awe but seems to do everything pretty well.
