Description
WHAT'S AN UPSLOPE?
Meteorologically speaking, it’s a front range-covering, water-table-filling, snow-dumping weather pattern that anyone with bindings and a roof rack would die for. Beerologically speaking, it’s carbonated gold. In 2008, Matt Cutter, Henry Wood and Dany Page, kissed their homes in Cleveland, Atlanta and Argentina goodbye to bring their beer-brewing love affair to Boulder, Colorado. With that, Upslope Brewing Company was born. And after ten years of supplying Colorado with trailhead tallboys, and pow-day libations made from the freshest snowmelt, the finest hops and the purest passion for living life outdoors, one thing has become undeniable. These guys didn’t just float another microbrew into the sea of Colorado microbrews. They created a lineup of quality craft beer that tastes as good poured from a tap as they do pulled out of a fishing vest. In other words, for those who call the Continental Divide home, the perfect storm.

Can, 0.355l. Aroma is floral, grassy, grainy and citrusy. Pours clear golden color with medium sized soapy white head and average visible carbonation. Taste starts light sweet malty and faint citrusy, following is herbal, dank and slightly bready, mouthfeel is rather dry, while finish is average bitter. Medium body, slick texture and average carbonation in palate. Smokin’ beer…

Straw blond colour with thin head. Aroma and flavour have a certain green, leafy note. Fairly light bodied but nicely fresh and clean.

35cl Blik van Beer Republic. Iets mistig goudgele kleur, witte kraag. Druiven, kruisbes, hint van citroenschil, licht harsig, licht moutzoetje. Lichte body. Degelijk, niet heel uitgesproken, maar deze zit ook al tegen z'n tht aan.

Can at the house in Jackson - picked up from Bud’s. Pours clear gold with a frothy, white head. The hops seem a bit faded on this one and I wish I’d checked the can, as the best by is 1 March 2024. So, this is not a fresh beer. Still it’s rather drinkable. Has notes of dried pine needles, crackery pale malts, aged lemon peel. Medium bodied with massaging carbonation. Dry finish, floral, a little pithy. It’s honestly not bad and probably would be great if fresher.
