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.

On tap @ Avery Strong Ale Fest 2015. Dark brown appearance with a dark brown head. Banana, heavy apple / pear, chocolate in the nose. Boozy, sweet caramel / chocolate flavor. Seems like there’s some oxidation. Also, plenty of apple and banana in the flavor. Medium light body. Boozy. Not that great.

Sample at the Flatiron Park taproom. Pours a dark brown color with ruby around the edges, and a medium foamy beige head that diminishes gradually. Partial rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of oak, fruit and yeast. Full-bodied with a vinous oak character and flavors of earthy yeast, dark fruit and grainy malt. The finish is oaky and fruity with a mild bourbon aftertaste. Borderline messy but pretty good overall.
