Upright Brewing Late Harvest

Barrel-aged brown ale with spices.
25.4oz bottle, 7%abv
Upright Brewing, Portland, Oregon

This is a really nice sour Belgian brown.

Appearance is clear and medium brown with little head.

Solid sour notes in the nose, with some spice -- perhaps nutmeg -- notable as well. Pleasant.

Flavor is distinctly sour with moderate maltiness and subtle hops. Very nice.

Finish is crisp with moderate bitterness and a hint of astringency.

Overall a very tasty beer from one of Portland's promising newer breweries.
