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 at BBT 12/2023. Med-thin body, sugary candyish. Med-high carbonation. Pretty classic IPA, a bit caramelly oxidated, medium sweetness, but otherwise med-high bitterness, general fruity hoppiness, moderate citrusy zesty hops character. Good but not great.

On tap at Tap That!, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma has hearty oats and some toasted malt. Flavour is dry, with hearty oats, some bitterness, and toasted malt. Dry and somewhat lifeless. It's alright.

Can. Pop the lid and its foaming all over, darn and and clean up on isle 5 inconvenient. Clear pale eye. Taste is mild pils, on target for an old country style pilsner. Previously, I had a fest beer that slope made and it had something to be desired but this stuff is quite enjoyable, just curious if the two are from the same brewmaster. Pretty good co2 level and in the middle its quite refreshing. Before I knew it, the end was near and the finish was finished. Yea, a very good example of what a pilsner really should be; un-insulting without a big piercing bitter bite, civilized, friendly and easy to drink. Thanks US!

Can. Eye is a little darker than gold, just barely. Nose is perhaps faint bread and minor metallic veggy. First taste is a hair phenolic. Yes, a little odd and uncivilized compared to a real old country fest beer. Does have a decent level of co2, just can't get over that medium processed phenolic feel, it leaves a bad lingering taste on the finish. Not really bad overall, just a little below average for the style.
