Cellar Monkey by Ground Up Brewing Co. is a delightful American Pale Ale that captivates the senses. Pouring a vibrant golden amber with a fluffy white head, this beer immediately tantalizes the nose with a symphony of citrusy and tropical fruit notes. Grapefruit, pineapple, and mango aromas mingle with a floral and herbal hop presence, all complemented by subtle caramel malt undertones. The first sip delivers a burst of fruity flavors that mirror the aroma, with the grapefruit, pineapple, and mango notes intertwining seamlessly. A subtle sweetness from the caramel malt provides a perfect counterbalance to the moderate bitterness from the hops, creating a refreshing and well-integrated taste experience. Cellar Monkey is light-bodied and crisp, with a moderate carbonation that adds to the refreshing nature of this beer. The finish is clean and crisp, with lingering notes of citrus and hops, leaving a pleasant astringency on the palate. Whether enjoyed at a casual gathering or as an accompaniment to a meal, Cellar Monkey by Ground Up Brewing Co. is sure to impress craft beer enthusiasts with its well-crafted balance of fruity flavors, subtle sweetness, and moderate bitterness.
