Huge thanks to Bucketboy for bringing a limited release from what has become one of my favorite breweries. Served in a mini tulip.
Bottle 24 of 60.
Pours a medium gold color with a nice white head and a bit of lacing on the way down. The nose carries a touch of light Pinot Noir with a bit of oak and moderate funkiness. The flavor is quite dry with some Brett and a very nice wine presence throughout. Light fruits and spice in the background. Body is light-medium with good carbonation and a dry, earthy, and vinous finish. Really another fantastic beer from Upright.

2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle shared at the December iteration of the Santa Cruz tasting series. Extremely pale color, white head. Grapefruit aroma with sulfuric notes. Lemon and minerals with maybe a minor wine note. Bitter, watery, and dry with extremely low carbonation. Lacking in a lot of ways.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
75cl bottle. This one didn’t quite carbonate in the bottle, which is too bad because it really needed some more acidity to liven things up. A little pinot character but a lot of sulfur stinking up the aroma and a pretty watery body. I like normal four but this was not a good way to treat it.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
bottle 37 of 60... gold but a big center of ugly copper, off white head, good retention... the aroma is plain off, I’m so confused, dank, yeast and manure, a bit tart... the taste is light on the front end but the finish is weird, metallic, dank and grassy, the pinot presents as a white wine instead of red which is confusing... wanted to like this, as I’ve liked wine aged saisons, this just didn’t get it done
