Tampa Bay Brewing Co. ‘Gourds Gone Wild’
Amber expectation unravel to express whipped cream on pumpkin pie! Heavy on the cream! Flaky crust seems imminent. This motif swings full circle on the palate-pirouette to suggest the same with clove and nutmeg in tow. Beer aspect has turned treacle-sarsaparilla but genuine and tasty-toasted, so, let it go! Haters hate Christmas ales too and summer and seasonal but love their Willy wonky candy beers. Grow some. The style is good, screaming autumn from the hollow skull of Halloween. Don’t be scared!

Shadowy red amber, nearly translucent, coconut meat-colored head with winged lacing of butterflies and descending birds that morph to blobs. Honey tea and Hawaiian bread sweetness on the nose, with lemon, and orange zest. Tea and dinner roll compete and dark pretzel is evoked. Oregano flecks dryly; sesame, corn meal and baked black olive. What month is it? Sept..Okt...No...longest year ever! Just end. Good beer, needs greasy meats. .

Pale amber with frothy white that dims to fringe and crop circles. Same alar lacing. Shiny lime, dried pineapple, banana skin, and orange zest, with light aniseed scent residuals. Lemon-orange to lemon zest. Lime pith, tangerine, thyme; zesty finish that is somehow supple. Not so creamy, as a revisit to spongy; pith. .

Lemon-jelly opacity, with cotton ball top that craters to Mykonos dolphins’ playful dance lacing. Lemon pudding, peel and zest nose also suggests orange peel freshness, pineapple bits, coconut, and lime. Perfect interplay of acid versus creaminess here, with the edge tending to acid in the minutiae. Papaya smooth, with guava and dragonfruit, paw paw, soursop, apple and pear extras, banana essence, lychee, lime pith and grapefruit. Exquisite tropical panoply, that rivals many of the best. Incredible job here! Lingering pineapple coppery note, and library of citric pith permutations. .

Darker-than-expected amber, off-white pate, negative photo of space. Paisley lacing. Beautiful nose of ruby grapefruit, cut pineapple and tangerine in the seams. Bursting from the glass! Like a pure tangerine first sip. The finish brings the beer aspects, with bitter hop popping in the background, Meyer lemon and lime zest, with orange flavors zipping.

Über-bubble, if-just hazed, loose ocean foam, goes poof!, then just nebulae. Oily lacing of misfit moustaches. One swirl, though, and instant star nursery. Tangelo-lemon goodness blasts from the glass! Pure tropical mango from the tree. Grapefruit aspirations. Equally bright palate with the focus on a mineral-citrus that finds the perfect palatial trajectory, and sticks the landing on four hops. Namely, Mosaic for the baptismal tesserae, Citra for the gilded apse, Hallertau Blanc for the hallowed ground, and galaxy for the space between. Amen to the combo. Tartaric reverberations through a briny air, really quite evocative. This tastes the way Florida sometimes smells just after a rain. Tropical and saturated, but clean and spring-y. Jasmine, sweet grapefruit pith, lime and lemon. Really a great beer! .

Bubbly, dark, apple juice amber, with a loose-knitted, white shawl. Angkor Wat architecture undulates to Himalayan linearity lacing. Toasted orange bread, ripe pineapple, persimmon, sweet petrol, poached pear, lemon marmalade, and the slightest citrus compost smell. Strong brown bread, and rosemary entry. Grapefruit peel, lemon pith, heavy hop oils are pacified by a grilled lemons, limes and salt, aloe and prickly pear. .

Rosy grapefruit opacity, hi speed blender crowned, textured like a coat of paint. Oily lacing of connect-the-dots. Awesome jungle humidity suggesting banana and pineapple, sweet grapefruit and tangerine, coconut, marigold, candied lemon, honeycomb and jackfruit. Incredible entry of creamy banana and guava, lemon zest, with tiny glimpses of strawberry, cherry and raspberries, a dragonfruit texture, lemongrass sorbet, tangerine pulp, yellow mango, and finally miracle fruit transmogrification to balance the red and white with the vestiges of sweet ginger, tartaric biscuit, and coconut oil. Complex, evasive, evocative, hazy-creamy, razzy, racy and ethereal. One of the best IPAs I have had in 2020! Give these guys a trophy, and no, everyone does not get one!

Spanish Cedar magic! Almost non-translucent tea amber with spongy top and scattered bubblecorns to match the coming peppercorns! Amphibious linearity to the lacing which sticks in undulating slickness. Peppery nose jostles for attention against pineapple, both cut fresh and dried. Peppercorn wins, agressively charging! Dried starfruit ferment and grapefruit pulp also struggle. Palate weight is food friendly, and would make a great pairing with steak or Gorgonzola or sour cream crisps. Peppery essence crystallizes around malts and resinous cedar with cooked caramel and burnt sugar, but none of it deviates too far from Mr. Peppercorn’s locus. Not a beer for everyone! This thing is a unique palate teaser! I personally love its wooden depth, and lack of sugar on the finish. Grapefruit pith softness and cracked, black peppercorns encrusting. #ccb #cigarcitybrewing #spanishcedarjaialai #jaialai #ccbjaialai #cigarcitybrewingspanishcedarjaialai #ipa #jaialaiipa #indiapaleale #barrelaged #cedaraged #flbeer #flabeer #tampabeer #beer #bier #birra #biere #cerveza #cerveja — 4 years ago

Golden with amber suggestions. Glows, but oddly opaque. Poached egg foam topper that recedes to reverse galactic pointillism. Juicy nose of ripe pink grapefruit, mango, pineapple and Meyer lemon, lime zest, and peach blossom. Soft sweet grapefruit and it’s spongy pith keep the entry light on carbonated clouds with silver mineral. Orange peels back to reveal hidden lemon, lime zest, and grapefruit juices. The whole suggest a cool minerality. Best enjoyed in sunny south Florida in some less infectious future. Solid session ipa. .
