Beer Profile

Upper Hand Peninsula Ale (UPA)

A Peninsula Ale typically presents a balanced profile, bridging the gap between a standard Pale Ale and an Amber. This UPA likely pours a clear, rich amber color with a persistent off-white head. The aroma often features a moderate blend of piney or citrus hops complemented by a solid foundation of toasted malt and caramel sweetness. On the palate, expect a medium body and a smooth mouthfeel, delivering flavors of light bread crust, subtle fruit esters, and a clean, moderately bitter finish that encourages another sip.
