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.

$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.

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.
