Episode # 391: City Green

Life On Tap

Dan pops open his fifth from a mixed case from Montclair Brewery: City Green, a farmhouse ale with rosemary sprigs from City Green’s farms.

Montclair Brewery City Green

STYLE: Farmhouse Ale
INGREDIENTS: Rosemary sprigs from City Green’s farms
ABV: 4.5%
IBU: N/A
AVAILABILITY: 16 oz. cans/Draft (Year-round)
COLLABORATION: City Green
Stats above taken from the brewery’s can and website.

Appearance

Golden almost peach-like in color with a beautiful, white, fluffy head.

Aroma

Beautiful ester profile, with an herbal/spice note from the rosemary as well as some earthy/floral notes with a hint of graininess.

Taste

Herbal and earthy notes persist from the nose, with a pleasant minerality popping on the finish.

Mouthfeel

Very dry and refreshing, with a light body and some scrubbing bubbles-like carbonation on the palate.

Overall

This is a great sipper, but would totally be food-friendly as well. I was feeling more chicken or rustic flatbread setup with some fresh herbs and more on the pairing front.

Cheers and remember:

Life’s a tap…drink up ’til it’s dry.

All music on this show came to us from the now defunct Music Alley.
