Up and At Them

 One of the best looking homage labels in Ontario belongs to Indie Alehouse’s Up and At Them, an American Wheat Beer with Mango & Tangerine. The label and name are nods to Radioactive Man and Fallout Boy—classic peripheral Simpsons characters. The tag line of the 5% ale is actually: “Not radioactive, man.” This Torontonian ale comes in 500mL bottles. It’s a hazy, dull gold beer that pours with an extremely sudsy white foam.

Up and At Them has a yeasty nose with a tangerine twist. The flavour has citrus and tropical elements, built atop a yeasty plinth. The mango has gotta be in there somewhere, but I didn’t track it down.

This is a tangy take on a wheat beer. The flavour is pretty solid and the branding is next level.

Rating: 8.0 out of 10.
