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 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.

From notes
It is a golden color with a slight head. The aroma is citrus and the taste is a strong bitter flavor that resonates floral overtones.

From a 16 oz can enjoyed in Jackson Hole. Pours a clear copper with a thick off white head. Intense fruit nose. Flavors of pineapple and grapefruit. Bitter finish. Nice DIPA.

12 oz can courtesy of my friend Kevin. Best By Jan 17 2015 stamped on the can. The pour is a slight haze yellow white with a smallish white head. The aroma is general Asian spices, ginger and a resin floral hop. The taste is a combination of the Asian spices and the resinous floral hops. The spice is very bright at the start, as the Belgian yeast is in the back. The palate is medium soft carbonation with the spice finish. Not terribly balanced, though still a fun beer.

Can. Pours a cloudy orange with small frothy white head that lasts leaving spotty lacing. The aroma is strong funk, oak, and brett. Medium mouthfeel with nice barrel character compared to CS version, nice funk, light lacto. Very nice.

12oz can pours with a clear gold body that supports a white head. The aroma is all clove, coriander and Belgian yeasty spices rimmed with malt and fruity ester sweetness. The taste starts with sweet malts, a brief flash of maybe citrus hops and then heading into firm notes of Belgian yeasty spices and cloves and coriander. For me this is far too Belgian and not enough Pale Ale going on here.

Best by Nov 12, 2014.

A very dark brown brew with some reddish highlights, the off white foam starts off big but shrinks quickly leaving some lacing behind.

The smell is all Brown Ale like. ;^) Big hoppy but with more than hints of roasted malt and coffee. I think the hop and roasted malt have a nice "marriage" going on and they are celebrating the event with the coffee.

The taste just supports what I said about the smell. Nice bitter from the hops and roasted malt with a wee bit of sweetness that doesn’t quite balance things out, but this is an American Brown Ale, so all is right with the world. Did I forget to mention coffee’s involvement? I think it brings things together and gives this Brown Ale and extra oomph. Wow. Oomph is a word without the red squiggly lines but hoppy isn’t?

Medium is what I’d use to describe the body and carbonation.

This is an excellent Brown Ale and I will enjoy drinking the other cans I have.
