Upslope is a new brewer here in Colorado and they are based in Boulder. They currently are canning four styles and the latest in the line-up is Craft Lager (4.8% ABV). On the can, the labels are “Bright – Fresh – Easy” and the ingredients description is “Made with snowmelt, Czech Saaz hops and lager yeast” and I made the assumption that this would be an American Lager with ties to a Bohemian Pilsener. The color is yellow gold with a nice head that quickly recedes. Craft Lager has a classic lager clean taste with note of bread, and a clean dry hop finish. This is a session beer that would be great to have after yard work or to take to a BBQ or a picnic. Nicely done and I think Upslope is a brewery to watch – they took a Gold Medal at the 2011 GABF for their Pumpkin Ale.
