Can to becher glass.
Appearance: black in the pour and black in the glass with a quickly dissipating head and didn't leave any lace
Aroma: big chocolate malts, red raspberry sweet to tart jammy - vibe
Flavor: lovely blend of the raspberry jam to the chocolate - sweet to subtle tart; finishes chocolatey and raspberry jammy
Texture: medium bodied, leaning into being a sipper; some smoothness along the tongue with a sly tickle of tart from the raspberries
Overall: this is what you call a decadent dessert beer.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: bright orange haziness with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: big sweet bright citrusy to grassy hop scents with a great clean malt bill
Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas to a great citrusy clean bittersweetness; finishes citrusy clean and a tickle of orange pulp
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, good smoothness, nice low carb
Overall: a nicely done NEIPA worthy of coming back to.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: murky dark copper color with a two finger white fluffy head which settled down at a nice pace to leave some light lace
Aroma: crushed clove, light banana, Belgian candy sugar-ish tones, light grassy hops, a touch of citrusy tones and a light yeasty accent
Flavor: takes the prior noted aromas to intermingle to a sweet to bittersweet to spicy blend; finishes with the notes of banana, clove, the Belgian candy sugar and Belgian yeasty vibe
Texture: light bodied, between sessionable and being a sipper, some smoothness but also some dryness
Overall: surprisingly enough, this actually feels, tastes and smells like a Belgian tripel but the only thing is the color seems a bit darker other than that, man oh man, great job Upper Pass, I'd be happy to come back to this.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: golden yellow color with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace.
Aroma: light mixture of tropical fruity hops with a clean bready/biscuity malt backbone.
Flavor: brings the prior noted aromas to stabilize into a fine sweet to bittersweet quality with a touch of citrusy zest; finishes tropical fruity and a wee bit of malts
Texture: light bodied, sessionable, some smoothness but a little bit of hop zing to pounce on the tongue
Overall: I'd say it works as a session IPA, grab a 4 pack of this and let's go fishing!

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: clear yellow color with some light bubbles seen rising to fill a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: maple syrup tones, sweet cream/milk sugar, light vanilla beans
Flavor: copies the aromas in a sweet yet balanced way; sweet creamy and subtle mapley finish
Texture: light bodied, sessionable, very smooth and creamy along the tongue
Overall: I see the cream ale style in this and it's nice with that Vermont twist in this.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: burnt orange cloudiness with a finger and a half of white foamy head which disspated nicely and left some light messy lace.
Aroma: peachy to pineapple-y to a brisk white grapey hop oily tone, sweet grassy hop tone, piney-hop bitterness rising with more warmth, light clean biscuity malts
Flavor: wraps up the prior noted aromas to a gentle bittersweet blend while adding in a lil' bit of passion fruity hop tone here; finishes peachy and piney
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, brisk hop assertiveness but nothing damaging to the tongue, good low carb, and a lil bit of stickiness but nothing cloying
Overall: a nicely done AIPA or NEIPA depending upon who you talk to. I'd bang this again.
gave a cheers!

Can to tulip.
Appearance: dark burnt orange color with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: big citrusy and big piney to huge grapefruity amounts of hops, the malts are super hard to even tell if they are there because of the amounts of hops in this
Flavor: a pure bittersweet conglomeration of all those hops, malts show up here a bit more noticeable but they're clean and more or less just there acting for the balance of it all; mild finish of citrusy & piney hops
Texture: medium bodied, surely this is a sipper; some smoothness but also some noticeable hop bitterness
Overall: pretty nicely done NEDIPA I would have again.
