Here’s Resilience and to it.  This beautiful IPA was brewed by Upland Brewing in Bloomington and maybe as many as 1,400 other brewers across the nation.  The impetus for so many to brew the same beer was the devastating Camp fire in Butte County, California.  Proceeds from the sale of Resilience IPA will benefit all impacted by the Camp Fire.

Upland Brewing’s Juiced in Time IPA (Picked up at Craft Beer Cellar DC). A 3 of 4. A standard juicy, hazy IPA. Delivers the citrus and tropical notes you’d expect, and a smooth, slightly sticky body. Some faint caramel malt sweetness in the body, and finishes slightly sweet.

Upland Raspberry Lambic is just as good as every other lambic Upland makes. Haven't had anything disappointing from them yet.

As I mentioned in my last couple posts, we’re in Indianapolis, Indiana for my wife’s birthday.  She wanted to take the kids on a roadtrip to the Children’s Museum here.  Before heading to the museum, we stopped at a local pizza joint – Bazbeaux’s Pizza – for a pizza and a couple of local brews.  I started with the Upland Dragonfly IPA and she and I shared the Sun King Sunlight Cream Ale.  As we finished up the pizza, I decided to go for the Double Dragonfly they had on tap before heading into kiddie craziness at the museum.

Location: Enjoyed a pint glass of the draft beer, at Bazbeaux Pizza in downtown Indianapolis, IN.

Numbers: 9.1% ABV, 80 IBUs, 22 SG, 11.7 SRM, ~ 297 Calories

Appearance & Aroma: It’s slightly hazy and has a dark copper/amber color.  It’s also got a soapy/foamy head on it that almost looks like it was poured from the cask.  There’s a bit of an earthy hop aroma with hints of citrus and floral hops.

Taste & Feel: The mouthfeel is fairly creamy, thanks to the foamy head, and the body is full.  There was a little bit of caramel malt flavor up front, but very quickly... (More on Upland Brewing – Double Dragonfly Imperial IPA)
