3.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
A hazed golden gruit with a very thin off white head. In aroma, orange pulp and cardamom, with light sulfur notes. In mouth, a light smooth lemon grass tinged gruit, a bit light, lemonade like, but nice. On tap at brewery, Oct. 5 2012.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap at Upright tasting room, pours a cloudy blond with a small white head. Aroma of tropical fruits zest, ginger and various exotic spices that I can’t put my finger on. Flavour of exotic spices, followed by the tropical fruit zest and a bit of ginger. Unique array of flavours that sort of works well together. Not the most complex Upright beer, but a cool experiment.

Slight lemon spiciness with faint juniper aroma. Clear golden pour with a faint head. Slight sourness with lemon like flavors and perhaps citric acid. Light body that finishes softly. A good sour that is not too powerful.

draft. fruity nose has faint resemblance to asian pear and sweet fruit cocktail/pear juice. chewy texture, herbal flavor, lightly medicinal on the back. ginger-ale like at times. some sort of peppercorn and zesty herbal quality. a curious beer.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Oregon Brewers Festival 2010 – Portland, OR
Golden in color, lots of aromas, spices - clove, Orange peel and a big malt build this was very tasty. Mild hops and a dry finish. Good beer.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draught at the brewery. Gold with a small white head that dissipates quickly (no hops, go figure right?). The aroma has a sweet-spicy herbal thing goin on with a little cracked grain. The flavor is pretty much the same with a spicy, sweet herbal tanginess that is hard to pin down but is actually pretty nice. Bitterness is mild, but there is enough to balance the mild sweetness and keep things drinkable. A nice change of pace.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
light orange, white fluffy head. Fruit and spice aroma, slightly sweet dried fruit flavor with some interesting spice, a little yeast, finishes nice and easy. Easy drinking fun, I’d drink another gruit.
