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.

19.2 ounce can, cost -$6
Honey coloured, hazy beer with a quickly dissipating head of foam. No lacing.
Smells of raspberries, candi sugar, hints of the English malt. Not much Belgian aboot it other than that candi sugar.
Sweet/tart raspberry notes that are so balanced. Candi sugar puts it more on the sweet side but just. This was canned March 10th so things may have changed over the near 5 months.
Fairly light bodied with medium carbonation.
It’s no Raspberry Tart but it is fine in its own right.

On tap at Gordon Biersch SLC Airport, pours a cloudy blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out faint guava and a touch of Belgian yeast. Flavour is rather floral and soapy, with faint guava and some fruity esters. Not good.

From a can. Pours a clear copper with a fizzy off white head. Aroma of bandaids and barnyards. Flavors of oak, tropcial fruit and tart white wine. Overall character is more fruity than sour, but still has a nice tartness to it.
