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.

Pours brown from the can and leaves a creamy head. A nice looking brew. Aroma is mild caramel, a touch sweaty tennis shoe. Taste is lightly sweet, trending mildly bitter and dry on the finish. Body is light, a bit watery. Decent, but the increasing bitterness near the finish seems to come at the cost of the sweeter, roasted, nutty flavors I look for in a Brown.

Can. Deep golden body with a frothy white head, lasting. Aroma of pine, citrus, lemon, toasted grain, light resin. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. It finishes lightly sweet and moderately bitter. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Taste of citrus, grapefruit, resin. Tame, especially considering all the citrus/tropical fruit hops used. Not unpleasant but it could have used some bolder experimentation.

Slightly hazy golden coloured body with a thick, frothy tan head that shows tints of yellow. Aroma of fresh grassy and herbal hops with a dose of tropical fruits and flowers. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong grassy and herbal flavours with a light malt backbone and some subdued sweetness from honey and caster sugar. Aftertaste shows grass, herbs, light caramelised sugars and a hint of yeast. Overall, a nice and light IPA that shows some good flavours, but a relatively mild and grassy affair with some smooth finishes. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Supermarket Liqours in Fort Collins, Colorado on 05-June-2017 for US$1,75 sampled a bit less than a month later on 04-July-2017 on Independence Day in Washington.

On tap at Bar Fausto, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out floral hops, some citrus and biscuity malt. Flavour is nicely robust for a pale, with floral and citrus hops, and dry biscuity malt. Nicely balanced, with a good expression from the citra. Very good.
