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.

Canned September 28th 2016.

Pours a clear gold with a finger of foam.

Floral hops and biscuit smell. Not very vibrant for a fresh hop but the can is close to 2 months old.

Taste is dull, unenticing; little bit of non descriptive bitterness and some biscuit that has a kinda unpleasant sweetness. Not worth the+$ 6 I paid.

12 oz. can, from the can. Bitter orange aroma, with some cloves, cranberries, and caramel. Sweet and fruity, with a light bitterness and a bit of estery spice. Light body, crisp, lightly acidic, and thin. This is a nice, fruity, crisp beer.

12 oz. can, from the can. Pine sap and butterscotch on the nose, with some corn and straw. Syrupy sweet flavor up front, and a stiff bitterness. Light to medium body, sticky, clingy, and hard. This is an aggressively hoppy lager, and not my forte.

19.2 oz can from Tavour. Nose is toffee, a hint of butterscotch, vanilla, and bourbon. Hazy rusty red with a medium, very lightly lacing beige head. Flavor is lightly sweet and malty with a more robust amount of bourbon and a hint of tequila.

Clear dark brown to black beer, small creamy beige head, little stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: alcohol, phenolic, soft roast. MF: soft carbon, medium to full body. Taste: pretty sweet start, caramel, some vanilla, bourbon, little chemical. Aftertaste: bitter hops, bit offensive, chemical notes, nail polish remover, sweet, some vanilla. Not too crazy 'bout this one.

Looks fantastic but I found the smell and taste were too vegetal (onion) Too dank. Overly sweet at times, then does a 180 in the other direction. And a bit boozy for the abv.

Most of these big cans from Upslope are a treat. Not this one.

12 ounce can, best before December 15th 2016.

Pours a hazy straw yellow with lots of foam. .shrinking slowly, lovely lacing.

Huge Guava aroma with light coriander and lighter still, clove. Other fruit may be involved and my thinking says pear. Almost prickly pear like.

Guava guides the way. I’m getting pear and the tiniest amount of coriander and clove. Youzza, this is a dry sucker. In a good way.

On the lower side of medium bodied, ample carbonation.

Pretty unique beer here and muchly I favour it. Prost!

Canned July 6th, 2016.

Deep gold colour, crystal clear, nice head of foam.

Smells herbal with tropical fruit and onion. Very dank.

Resiny hop oil like taste. Tropical fruit with big dankness, some sweetish flavour and some light bread. Alcohol pretty noticable.

Slick mouthfeel.

A good IPA.
