Upright

◎ Appearance

Upright presents a pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a bright, inviting character. The white head forms generously and maintains good retention and lacing throughout the pour. Carbonation is lively and persistent, creating a visually engaging column of bubbles.

◌ Aroma

The nose is led by vibrant citrus notes of tangerine and grapefruit, characteristic of the Citra and Centennial hops in the blend. Beneath the fruit sits a subtle, clean malt base that neither intrudes nor disappears. There is no yeast funk or oxidation—the aroma is fresh, straightforward, and inviting.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and crisp, with the citrus character translating from the nose into juicy, bitter-edged flavors. The mid-palate develops pleasant grapefruit pith alongside a balanced bitterness from the Columbus addition, neither overwhelming nor thin. The body remains light yet supportive, appropriate to the 4% ABV.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and persistent, with lingering grapefruit bitterness that fades cleanly without astringency. A light, pleasant hop character accompanies the exit, leaving the palate refreshed and ready for another sip.
