Description
Hey! Welcome to Urban Roots. We’re here because we love people and beer. We wanted to make beer and create a space to show that love to the world. Our place has plenty of room for people to hang out and enjoy one another, some super fresh beer and some really tasty food. Urban Roots started when Rob and Peter decided it was time to open the brewery they’d been dreaming of for a long long time. They wanted a place where they could express their love for the industry they’ve been a part of for so long. With Urban Roots they hope to pay homage to all of the wonderful people they have met on their journey. People that showed them amazing beer and maybe more importantly showed them a good time.

On tap at Urban Roots, pours a hazy dark pinkish amber with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of oak, tart raspberries and some funk. Flavour is surprisingly complex for a sub-5% sour, with tart raspberries, oak, and some funk. Complex and nicely blended. Very good.

Capped 375 from Corti Bros. Pours clear light copper with a white smear. Aroma of lime and gin. Med body or so. Flavor of lime, even zest, and gin with some non-musty wood notes. Not very sour, very lightly sweet. Light malt detectable. Gotta love the gin.

Can (4/15/21) pour from Valley Beverage, Sherman Oaks. It's a hazy dark yellow with nice sparkle, finger-width white foamy head with excellent retention and nice rings of lacing. Aroma is sweet caramel malt and with tart fruit, mild oak. Taste is strong sweet brown bread and mix of tart and sweet (grape?) fruit with minerals and mild oak. Mouthfeel is medium side of light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, lively carbonation and mostly malty finish. Overall, fairly unique and the oak/tart fruit quality works pretty well with the sweet malts. Well crafted. Over carbonated.
