Upland Amber Ale

Brewed by Upland Brewing Company
Style: Amber Ale
Bloomington, Indiana USA

Thanks bro. Pours an amber color with a medium off-white head which leaves some lacing. Aroma is nutty malts. Taste is much the same - caramel malts, and nutty malts. Nothing too exciting.

Fairly nice local Amber. I’ve had better, but certainly have also had worse. I dug this one, simple and basic, but nice. The Upland guys make some good local brews, thats for sure. This one pours a nice amber color with a thin head. Aroma is hops, dark fruit, and copper pennies. Flavor also carries that metallic bite, but also has some nice flowers and sugar and fruit. I’d have this one again. A nice session brew.

On draught at the brewpub in Bloomington, Indiana. Pours a clear copper amber brew with a thin off-white head that quickly dissipates to a fine film top and a thin off-white ring. Aroma of caramel malt with some dark pitted fruit character, some yeast and a touch of floral hops. Taste is medium bodied, lightly carbonated with flavors of caramel malt, some tropical fruits and some citrus zest. Finish has a mild bitterness with a light roasted nuts and caramel malt aftertaste.

Objectively speaking: Highly toasty and hoppy amber which could use more of a hop kick.
I like: Appetizing toastiness is the dominant feature and well done at that. Softly fruity, a soft yeast character peaks through the dominatingly malty structure. Strawberry and peaches offer a juiciness that complexifies the otherwise bready taste. Gently mineral which brings it into English territory.
I dislike: A touch of acidity hampers its otherwise interesting malt extraction. Not very hoppy at all, so again, this Upland beer feels a bit on the sweet side of the spectrum. Upland porter 7473 Objectively speaking: Clean and tasty porter that goes both into fruitiness and darker malt flavours.
I like: Not one-dimensional. Clean all throughout. Gentle smoky kiss in the finish ends up a soft chocolate lullaby. Hard to decipher fruitiness stays there all along. Highly drinkable with all this softness. Not overly sweet.
I dislike: Timid light-body. Not all that complex, but straightforwardly well done.

Thanks to jjpm74 for this one. Pours a nice copper color with small tan head. Aroma is caramel, malts, tea and white peaches. Some hops spice in there as well. Flavor is roasty nuts, caramel and some hops as well. Pretty decent amber overall. Thanks John.

Medium copper body with a lightly yellow khaki head. The aroma is rich with some walnuts and iced tea. There is also a little bit of orange citrus. The taste has some woody notes, like paper. There is also some light cheap tobacco and a little bit of orange juice concentrate. A decent amber, but it needs a little more malt to balance the oranges.

Clear straw colored body with a thick, frothy head. Aroma was caramel, toasted nuts, citrus. Flavor was nutty caramel. Lawnmower beer.

Shaker from a bottle. Poured a nice dark red-orange color with a very slight haziness and an off white head. I thought it had a bit of a hoppy aroma. The beer has a light body with a thin-to-creamy texture and fizzy carbonation. Overall I was very impressed with this beer. It reminded me of a red ale with hops. I really like the flavor of this beer and would definately recommend it to friends. A great beer to really slow down and enjoy.
