Can to tulip.
Appearance: burnt yellow to almost orange cloudiness with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: mixed citrusy to piney to slightly pineapple-y and slightly grapefruity hop tones with some hop oily character and a light clean malty backbone
Flavor: melds the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet semi-juicy vibe onto a nice combined bittersweet juicy character; finishes leaning into some hop oils with grapefruity juiciness and light pineapple
Texture: light to medium bodied - maybe a touch closer to medium bodied, leaning towards being a sipper; good smoothness but also a little bit of hop bitterness assertiveness; nice low carb
Overall: a very nicely done NEDIPA well worthy of returning to.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: cardboard orange milkiness with a finger and a half's worth of white foamy head which trailed off at a nice pace to leave some subtle sliding lace
Aroma: sweet mango, grapefruit & lemon zest with some peach & apricot hop notes
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a beautiful sweet to hoppy zesty and bittersweet quality then some chewy malts slide in for malts; finishes clean with an ever so light zing of some hop spice
Texture: medium bodied, slightly sessionable; good smoothness with a little bit of playful hop bitterness assertiveness but man oh man - that's really barely there, to be honest
Overall: another banging awesome NEIPA by Upper Pass. Man, I love these guys!

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: burnt orange haziness with a finger and a quarter fingers of white frothy head which trickled off at a nice pace and left a little bit of lace
Aroma: fresh mango and pineapple hop tones punching each other through sweet to bitter and back through bitter to sweet tones; light clean bready malts underneath
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine bittersweet to sweet quality; finishes semi-bitter with a little bit of mixed citrusy tones showing here with a nip of pineapple
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; good smoothness; great low carb, nice low hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: nicely done NEIPA worth coming back to.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: glossy burnt orange color with a finger's worth of white frothy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: slight rye sweet to floral to spicy components, rounded grapefruit sweet pulpy hop tones but seemed fairly non-expressive; some lemony hop tones - good strength; light clean malts
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to semi-spicy hop note with a light citrusy/grapefruity tone while pushing out the sweet and floral qualities of the rye; finishes leaning into the citrusy/rye spice and subtle grapefruit hop tone
Texture: light to medium bodied; semi-sessionable; light smoothness but yes some rye does seem to hit the tongue as I kinda expected it to but luckily, nothing overdone
Overall: works as a Rye IPA for me, mostly came across as I thought it would after I smelled it (not exactly sure if that's a good thing or bad thing) but this is a beer I could return to since I'm a fan of rye.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: thick orange cardboard looking haziness, a finger and a half of white foamy head and dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: dark berries, earthy hop tones, floral hop tones, lighter dankiness, light notes of clean malts
Flavor: copies the aromas fairly spot on in a bittersweet to sweet juicy quality; mild finish of some danky to dark berry hop tones
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; good smoothness and nice low carb and low hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: pretty nicely done NEIPA I would have again.

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.

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.

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!
