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.

Sierra Nevada 30th Anniversary Imperial Helles Bock

A really nice big Bock for their anniversary. Hugely malty but with a surprisingly clean finish. I'm not normally a bock fan, but this one is yummeh.

Angular bike

I think I got a paper cut just walking by this KTM superbike at tonight's Corvallis bike night...
