IPA
Upper Hand Brewery

 

Tried this on tap in Detroit. This is a great IPA for a cold winter day. Hoppy enough for a double but the ABV of a regular IPA. A strong hint of pineapple in the finish makes this an easy sipper. Truly a nice blend of complexity and dryness.

 

 

I got a couple cans of this beer from a mixed 12pck that I bought at a grocery store in Delton, Michigan. It poured a golden color with white head that is leaving a spotty lace. The scent had fresh mix of malt, bitter hop, and grain. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with bright semi sweet malt base with grain and bitter citrus and pine hop presence. The mouthfeel was medium in body with good carbonation. Overall it is a great beer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Poured from a twrleve ounce can, the beer is a hazy orange-brown color with creamy bubbly white head. Light lacing.

Nose is floral hops and a wee pine aroma.

Taste follows nose and adds a balance between hop bitterness and malty backbone.

Well carbonated and smooth finish.

A good bitter IPA that doesn't invent new flavors but offers a solid bitter beer.

 

Exceptional WC style IPA, in your face hoppy, piney, grapefruit, orange rind, resinous, medium body, bitter. If you like bitter, WC style, get this one, it’s good.

Poured into a pint glass from a can dated 10/21/22. Hazy amber with an off-white lingering head, lacing. Smell of hops and sweet malts. Malts are more pronounced up front with a sweetness, hops emerge in the aftertaste. Smooth mouthfeel, nothing extraordinary. Hoppier than an amber ale or ESB, but less bitter than a traditional IPA. Good.

This beer pours a brilliant amber hue. It is topped with a few inches of fluffy, tan head that leaves spotty lacing.

I get some citrus and a little pine. Hints of malt.

Citrus and pine flavor. No really very bitter

Medium bodied with a smooth mouthfeel

Solid IPA. Not fancy, just solid

 

Smooth. No heavy aftertaste. Better than expected.
