Description
Up Front Brewing was founded in 2015 with the aim of sharing our love of exceptional beers and great artwork, with a wider audience.
Here at Up Front we have no loans, no investors, and no kickstarter funding - everything is paid for up front. We brew by renting space in other people’s breweries, with each batch paid for as it’s brewed.
We have very little in the way of overheads, which allows us to spend a considerable amount of time and effort into researching and experimenting with new yeast, bacteria, ingredients, and brewing techniques from around the world. We brew mostly out of 71 Brewing in Dundee, but also use other breweries as and when required.
Up Front has used both Drygate and Alechemy as a base.

Can. Near clear gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, a mild dryness, decent fine carbonation. Light smooth pale malts, a very light creamy sweetness. Light crisp pine. Quite the candy fruits vibe, sweet even by modern Mosaic standards. The back end brings light but complex hop fruits that are hard to pick apart. Light and semi dry finish. Decent but a bit much to much on the Mosaic front, swamping the other hops.

Can from Flavourly. Pours a bright yellow-orange with moderate sized white head. Aroma of passionfruit and lime, some herbs. Taste is tart, moderate sourness, very fruity with a nice contrast between passionfruit and lime, coriander comes in near the end but quite subtle. Medium bodied smooth. Very nice.
