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.

Poured up on tap at Euclid Hall with an opaque orange juice colored body that supports a thin white head of foam. The aroma of this IPA offers up grassy herbal lemon grass as well as orange peel, peach, apricot and some mango. Smelling nice. The taste delivers tart lemon grass that is sweetened a bit by apricot and orange juice. It is rich and crisp and darn refreshing too. I wouldn’t mind drinking a lot more of this IPA. Not sure how this is classified otherwise here on ratebeer. It is clearly an IPA.
