Description
Hidden Springs Ales Works is a craft brewery in the greater Tampa Heights neighborhood just north of down town Tampa.
We were born from the minds of Joshua Garman and Austin Good (two local guys who loved to brew), and we joined the neighborhood in September of 2015. Yellow Brick Row has become our home away from home, and we hope that it is your’s as well. So, swing by the Tasting Room, find yourself a seat, and enjoy one of our beers. There’s always room for more at the bar.

Boks på Craft Beer Junction: nesten helt klar lysegrønn (?) med fint skum som varer. Lys malt, pistasjnøtter, søt citrus pluss litt kokos, aprikos og vanilje. En høflig engelskmann ville sagt 'oh, that's quite interesting'. Men et nytt bryggeri er uansett at nytt bryggeri, koste hva det koste vil...

Bottle split at the last minute CBJ Tasting (big thanks Marcin for hosting), team effort for this one, 13/07/23. Pitch black with a khaki head that thins to the edge. Nose is chocolate, roast malts, bourbon drizzle, spice, hint of After Eight mints. Taste comprises chocolate cookies, bourbon bite, mellow roast, well balanced mint angle, cookie dough, hint of vanilla cream. Full bodied, oily feel, semi drying close with a balanced kiss of alcohol. Another solid BA impy from HS ... bang on the money with the mint on this one, probably the best I've had with said ingredient.

Keg at Craft Beer Junction, 30/06/23. Lime green with a good size white cap. Nose is marshmallow, sugars, gummies, sweet edge. Taste comprises creamsicles, marshmallow, vanilla essence, light lactic tang, sugars, nutty trace. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a modest sour lilt. Fun looking but overly sweet and wouldn't want to take too much of this on board.
