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.

Draft at Craft Beer Junction - Bermondsey. Pours oily black with a small, creamy tan head. Big sweet flavour, some gooey chocolate, vanilla, toffee, raisins, burnt marshmallows, booze. Full bodied, oily and chewy, with fine carbonation. Warming finish, sticky dark sugars, more creamy chocolate. Alright in small doses.

Keg at Craft Beer Junction. Oily dark brown beer, not much of a head. Smooth palate, some viscosity, decent fine carbonation. Luxurious liquid chocolate, chocolate fudge, sweet cookies at the end. Fuck me! Super pastry!

Sample (thanks fonefan!). Pitch black colour, small off-white head. Aroma is chocolate, some cherries, almonds, some alcohol and mild raspberries too. Flavour is chocolate, alcohol, some syrup and mild wooden tones with some cherries and mild nutty tones to it. Rather sweet.

Orange farge uten skum. Lukter og smaker tropiske frukter, vanilje og noe malt. Frisk og nydelig syrlig avslutning. GOD:-)

16oz can @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie, May 23. Thanks Simon for this! Misty reddish amber appearance, small off-white head. Coffee berry hints coming through on initial sip, not jumping out as cherry necessarily.. more mixed berry.. light sour tingle. It's ok, just a bit muddled, and not detecting the lactose or chocolate.
