Tropical Vortex continues Upland’s tradition of brewing “out of season” in a rebellion against winter.

Tropical Vortex is a bright, crisp, and refreshing IPA using Galaxy and Waimea hops grown in the
Southern Hemisphere. Inspired by the Brut IPAs originating on the West Coast, this beer is crystal clear, dry, and effervescent with a very mild bitterness and powerful flavors of passionfruit, peach, citrus and mango.

The sensation of biting into a fresh apricot was the muse for the final release in Upland’s 2018 Tart Series. Modern Tart’s generous amounts of apricot compliment the refreshing tartness of a kettle sour. Adding a small amount of lactose (milk sugar) into the kettle balances the acidity, in contrast, creating a subtle sweetness that captures the essence of fresh fruit. The final result boasts vibrant tropical flavors thanks to a backdrop of Citra and Mosaic hops. Pouring hues of golden yellow, Modern Tart keeps fruit in focus ensuring each can is fresh on display.
