Upslope Introduces Lee Hill Series Vol 1: Barrel Aged Brown Ale Cans 7/17

From Upslope:

We may have a newer, larger production brewery at Flatiron Park, but don’t think for a minute we’ve forgotten where we came from. Our original North Boulder brewery at Lee Hill has been a hotbed of creativity lately, crankin’ out some killer small batch brews for our tap rooms, and is now the home of the Lee Hill Series – a quarterly, limited release series celebrating experimentation and creativity. This Series, served up in 19.2 ounce cans, offers new and innovative styles that are sure to be cellar keepsakes. 

First out of the gate is a 7.6% Barrel Aged Brown Ale aged for four months in first use Maryland Rye Whiskey barrels from Leopold Bros. The beer’s early caramel and toffee sweetness slowly fades and intertwines with the spicy wood character imparted by the whiskey barrels to produce a warming tone and lingering rye finish full of balanced complexity and substance.
