Upland Rad Red Amber Ale

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

Bottle poured in a goblet. Hazy reddish-orange held to the light with a small tan head. Smells of spicy hops, can’t place them. Maybe a little Belgian yeasty smells but they fade fast. Flavor is tart and alive. Wheaty finish. My bottle had a zombie. I guess that’s rad. Very enjoyable everyday drinker.

Nice amber color. medium head that hung around for a few minutes. aroma caramelly, toffee. very nice flavor; bitter, grapefruit, dark malt. delicious.

quite a delicious looking beer with its deep amber color and long lasting white head. the head adds a creamy texture. a very hoppy version of an amber. nice citrus aromas. the flavor is mostly caramel up front and a bit of the grapefruit hops on the finish. pretty stingy bitter hop presence and almost no nuttiness. i would call this an ipa before an amber.

12oz bottle. Amber-red-brown color with a solid light beige head. Mild, subdued aroma. Pretty well balanced, with some bitterness up front that leads into a rich malt sweetness. The amber fits in pretty well, giving it a rich caramel-vanilla tone. Medium bodied and pretty straightforward, a pleasantly enjoyable Red.

Pours a nice amber red with a small head that dissipated quickly. The aroma smells a bit more brown to me than a normal red but I don’t have a good smeller. A dark maltiness flavor comes through on this with some bitterness in the end. Great mouth feel. Nice and creamy. Overall not bad. I’d drink another... and another...

bottle - Pours amber with suspended yeast flakes and a one finger, lingering head that laces well. The aroma is mainly malt with notes of caramel and some fruitiness. It tastes of lightly toasted malt and a good, crisp, moderate hops. It’s very well hopped for an amber. It’s medium bodied with a moderately bitter finish where, to me, the hops go a bit flat. Good brew overall. Give it a try.

Hazy orange pour with suspended yeasty’s . Grass, grapefruit, and caramel on the nose. Toasted malts, light caramel and piney hops.

Dark amber to copper in color with a small, but relatively stable off-white head. Toffee, butterscotch, raw sugar, and fruit heavy in the aromas, with some iron, grass and grapefruit in the background. Sweet caramel malt and light fruit in the flavors to start. Middle has a bit of hops that are mildly herbal Full feel. Just noticed that they have someone riding a crotch rocket on the label, how did that get bu the ATF? LIght mineral in the finish and fairly crisp. A touch sweet, but overall a amber that I find quite drinkable.
