Ghost Monument
Urban Roots Brewing & Smokehouse

One of the rare occasions that I had an Urban roots beer on tap but not at the source. A few kegs made into Reno I guess. News to me.

Pours a bright yellow color with a 4 on the 10 pt haze viscosity/obscurity scale. Aroma leans heaviest on the Riwaka hop, its like compromised cousin of Nelson taste wise, old garage red dye diesel, gooseberry, guava, pine, passion fruit, blueberry, weed, dank. All systems go, soon the world will know the fury of attack, feel the wrath of the super rad.

The taste is bursting, Riwaka and Mosaic pushing their goodness. Really mild chill body, sawft, minimalistic flaked oat and two row it seems. Carbonation fine. Not trubby. Has that mix of down under dank and berry sweetness from hop impact. And of course, weed. Its just another great example of a sawft pale ale bursting with ipa levels of proprietary hops. I need to book a trip back here, its always so good. Get stuffed, get tipsy, go back to the room for more stuffing. And eating.

16oz can. Stamp on can bottom has canning date as '11/03/22'.
Hazy, straw colored body. One thick finger of soapy white head, which reduces to isolated islands and ring. Leaves behind horizontal strings of lacing.
Aroma has guava, pineapple, and cat urine.
Taste is not as initially sweet as the nose suggested, but is more vegetal hops. Flavors are guava, grapefruit, and pineapple. Bitterness is low. Following some dank notes in the early aftertaste, the final burst of flavor is sweet and juicy fruit.
Thinner mouth feel, but soft touch in the mouth. Even with the lower ABV% there is some hop burn on the tongue. Very good carbonation.
Provides an abundance of smells and flavors, but with a lower ABV%.
