Can at Old Chicago.
Pours a black colour with a small off white head of foam.
Things got weird. ..I get no roasted malt, maybe a hint or 2 of chocolate, but the smell I get the most is a fruity tartness.
Tastes like it smells, complete with that fruity tartness.
Good mouthfeel.
I read a few reviews after drinking this limited Upslope brew and didn’t see a mention of any tartness. Doesn’t fit the style anyways. Infection?
Edit: yep, it is referred to so I guess this is what the brewer intended.

Best by February 21st.
It pours a clear copper with a 1" head of foam...does have some nice lacing.
The smell is very spicy and fruity. Some nutmeg and cinnamon, some dark fruit which is plum like.
The taste is sweet, spicy, fruity, in that order. The spicy character reminds me of a Belgian Ale of some sort...now picking up cloves and a yeasty/wheaty flavour. The warmer it gets, the more complex it seems to get.
Medium body and carbo.
A very festive enjoyable brew in a 16 ounce can, I probably wouldn’t want to drink ’em back to back. ;^)

$5.49 single 16oz can, from Total Wine, pours with a clear copper to amber body that supports a thin white head. The aroma offers up sweet sugary smelling malts, a sort of ripe apricot fruity ester thing and then a bit of pumpkin and light cinnamon on the back end. The taste starts with a very nice pumpkin kick flowing quickly into a bit of cinnamon and then more pumpkin. Pretty nice. It stays modest with pumpkin and pretty smooth with sugary malt sweetened cinnamon. At this price point I don’t plan to get anymore though.

Pretty clean, but overly simplistic and overly sweet pale ale - fruity, citric hop character, but not enough bitterness to balance out the high.sweetness - finish of candied orange - meh.

On draught at Raccas in Casper.
Pours a clear amber, small head of foam that shrinks to a ring around the glass.
Pumpkin spices in the smell, not particularly strong.
More meat, so to speak in the taste. Nutmeg, pumpkin flavours, still on the milder side but enjoyable.
Medium body and carbonation.
Nice.

Pours a clear 24K gold, small but persistent head of foam.
The smell was of sugary sweet malt with a lightish aroma of hops.
The taste is strong with malty sweetness, lightly hopped despite the hefty IBUs, fairly strong alcohol presence.
Medium bodied, light to medium carbonation, that’s not what I’m not liking.
Too strong, too malt liquor like, too reminiscent of Dogfish Head 120, which I detested.
I’m glad I won’t have to buy another $6.99 can.

Now that's one tall son of a gun can. Tastes hoppy but more malty ala DFH 120. I hated that and don't love this. Sorry, Upslope. Most of you

It pours a pale gold with a good head of foam to start the session
It shrinks quickly but leaves some lacing behind.
There are big spicy notes like coriander and cloves with mild hints of bitterness that you’d expect in the style
That is nice. I get more of the same tasting this spice forward White. The bitter is, again, on the mild side and works for me. Works very well!
Medium body and carbonation.
This is yet another pleasing offering from Upslope.
