3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
12 ounce bottle, bottled in April 2011. Served in a mug, the beer pours a slightly hazy orange/amber color with about an inch off-white head. The head goes away quickly, and there isn’t much lacing. Aroma is sweet and malty, the brew smells like bready malt, dark fruit, toffee and a little bit of grassy hops. Taste is mostly sweet, it tastes like toffee, bready and caramel malt, and some grassy hops. Mouthfeel/body is light/medium, it’s a bit syrupy and slick with good carbonation. I’d like to try a fresher bottle of this, but this one wasn’t too bad at all. $1.99 for a single bottle at Liquor Barn.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
My favorite Upland beer. Smooth maltiness. Good color. Nice spiciness from the hops. An excellent example of the style, albeit with a slightly higher amount of hops.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottled in April 2009.
A: Slightly hazed light amber color with a decent head and plenty of lacing.
S: Slightly sweetened malt with a little bit of grassiness.
T: Sweet grains with a tad bit of amber/caramel to it. Hops are a bit weak.
M: Medium bodied with a good amount of carbonation and little alcohol feel.
D: Pretty drinkable, but nothing remarkable about this one. Not the finest of Upland’s offering, but still a pretty good beer.

Pours coppery with an off-white head that fades after a few minutes. Aroma is bready with some hop and light fruit. Taste is bready sweetness with a bitter, hoppy, dry finish. Mouthfeel is light and somewhat creamy.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
UPDATED: JAN 19, 2010 Aroma of toffee, caramel and sweet roll. Appearance was light brown with tan head. Flavor matched the nose, with a nice interplay between malty sweetness and light (though boozy) hop character. Palate was bubbly and creamy. Pretty good.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours a transparent deep copper amber with a spotty lacing cream-colored head. Has a semisweet toasty grainy German malty nose with a touch of noble hops. Starts with good fullness and a grainy caramel malty sweetness well balanced with some slightly resiny earthy green hops finishing drier crisp and bittersweet. Very true to style and enjoyable.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours amber/copper wth a thin white head. Smells of light fruit, some spice, toasted malt. Tastes breaddy, fruity, caramelly with some spicy hints.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Appearance is a rusty gold with a bit of cloudiness. Initial bouquet is malt. Very creamy on the palate with a full bodied flavor of malt and a suggestion of hickory nut. Finish is smooth with a nice dry hop taste. Pairs well with brats, burgers or tube steaks. These Hoosiers show they can please a discriminating Badger’s palate. Nice job!
