Schade Imperial IPA is the first huge hoppy beer brewed at Upright. Formulated and made in collaboration with Chef Ben Schade of Old Salt Marketplace, this beer showcases a blend of columbia, crystal, warrior, and two experimental hop varieties over a basic grist yielding only enough malt character to support the mix of classic and modern hop flavors. The Schade, which we like to pronounce "Shady", is very dry but smooth and drinks easy despite an abv of 10%.

On tap at the Upright 7th Anniversary Party

Clear copper with a dense off white head with decent retention and lacing. The nose is bright, redolent and fruity with pine, citrus, grapefruit, all put together in a somewhat aggressive. It does have the classic Upright softness, I wonder if it's from open fermentation? A little caramel and toffee are present. The palate opens bitter with pine and grapefruit but there's a noticeable sweetness, caramel and cotton candy-like. Alcohol is noticeable too. Mildly sweet with caramel and a wonderful, clean bitterness on the finish. Very good, but a little to sweet for my liking.
