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 from Home Bargains, Byfleet. Aroma is malty with a watery citrus edge. Clear gold. Frothy foamy white head. Sour citrus. Underlying sweet malts... but not overly sweet. Bready. Caramel. Light. Thin. Average-fizzy carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. Refreshing and pretty crisp. Just all a bit lightweight.

Can from Home Bargains, Salford. Golden with a head. Soft water pale ale, so whilst it's hoppiness is fair, it's Its nice mouthfeel that gets the most marks here.

15th March 2023, mini-regional tasting with minutemat at my place. Cheers Mat for this 12floz can. Citra hops again doing their thing, citrus aroma and taste in a clear golden beer, pleasant enough, but I am getting bored with lemon and grapefruit flavours to be honest, every other beer seems to be brewed with Citra hops, where are they all coming from?

355ml can shared with blackhaddock in his beer cave. Clear gold with a fair white head atop. Juicy pine and grapefruit seems to be the order of the day here, both aroma and taste-wise. Citra singing loud and proud, but comes across like an early-days craft IPA. Not that that's a bad thing.

Can from Home Bargains, Salford. Lighter clear golden coloured brew. Fresh enough from its container but a somewhat drab tasting lager.

Taste at the Colorado Springs Wine Festival. Pours a clear, straw color, with a big, foamy, white head. The aroma is water crackers, spruce, chalk, and rye toast. Dry and dusty, with a hard bitterness. Medium body, sticky, and clingy. Fair.

12 oz. can from Total Wine. Pours a semi-clear yellow-gold color with a large bright white head and great retention. Decent lacing. Sharp pilsner malt aroma. Bright pilsner malt flavor with a hint of lemon and a medium-light, soft bitter finish. I guess thats what makes this an Italian pilsner. Clean and crisp mouthfeel. Medium-light body. Good example of the style.

From a tall can. Pours a clear Cabernet. Aromas are woody and vinous. Flavors are moderately tart grapes. Not complex but decent.

This was supposed to be an action shot of Annie staring at another golden but he didn't seem to be interested 😔.
As far as the beer, I was surprised to see amburana out here, Brazilian wood in Denver?! On that note waiting for Hernandes S. To visit 👀
