Pours a hazy blood orange colour, subtle white head and some light lacing. Yeast like notes in the nose as well as citrus, lemon, light balsamic notes, sourness, light funk and some hops are detectable. Nice dry sourness on the palate, some citrus, biscuit and light hops fill out the rest. Great mouthfeel, solid weight coats the mouth well and just the right amount of carbonation. Very drinkable farmhouse ale, very smooth. Would have this again for sure.

ack! more a note for myself than anyone else. had tried Billy the Mountain in a growler, did not do well, but to be fair I tried another of Upright's offerings a few days ago . . . #5 was much better. flavor was the biggest issue i had with BtM, and i think #5 shows i had a questionable sample earlier. a brewery to check out in the future.

Lovely color--cloudy and darker than most cloudy beers, like a slightly redder hefeweizen. Very hoppy but not "look how hoppy I can make this!" Nice restrained bitterness. A very competent effort, which is not meant to be damning with faint praise--in these days of beer trickery, I appreciate a good solid plain old beer.
