Opiate Sun - XXIPA
Upward Brewing Co.

 

 

A: The beer is hazy yellowish amber in color and appears to be caramel in color when viewed from afar. It has a slight amount of visible carbonation and poured with a quarter finger high white head that left a thin collar around the edge and some lacing on the surface and down teh sides of the glass.
S: Moderate aromas of floral hops and caramel malts are present in the nose.
T: The taste follows the smell and also has some notes of citrusy hops - oranges seem to stand out particular - along with hints of pine and a light amount of bitterness.
M: It feels medium-bodied and a bit sticky on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: You can definitely get a sense of the strength of this beer from the malty aromas and flavors but there are enough underlying hops to help in balancing things out and also contributing hop aromas/flavors and some bitterness. No alcohol is perceptible in the taste.

Serving type: can
