1UP

United States·Double West Coast IPA
Tap to rate

1UP is Highland Park Brewery's West Coast double IPA, hopped with an intense dose of Citra and Mosaic, partly as concentrated cryo hops. Opening a can releases aromas of fresh pineapple, flamed orange peel, dank white pine and grape. The palate follows with juicy fruit, melon and pine resin, a moderate bitterness keeps the 8.3 percent in check, and the finish stays dry rather than sweet.

◐ Taste

The palate delivers juicy tropical and stone fruit character with a pronounced melon sweetness that carries into the mid-palate. Pine resin and herbal bitterness provide structure without harshness, building to a moderate 65 IBU finish that keeps the 8.3% ABV grounded and refreshing.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
