The draft shaker pint glass glows a brassy golden-bronze with a touch of haze in the body and a fine-bubbled cap of white foam atop. Settling to a thick, creamy sheet, the head leaves broken, webby sheets of silky lacing on the glass.
T.L., the brewer, threw mad American-style hopping at this mild-bodied ale. Toasty pilsner maltiness is accented with Amarillo, Magnum, and gobs of Simcoe, giving the brew a pointed citrus character that nears the borderline between 'fruity' and 'tart', accented with mild, savory bitterness.
The aroma is brightly floral and citrusy with a soft toasted malt-note and a touch of yeasty tang.
The taste is crisp and citrusy, with a fine white-grapefruitiness cut with a twangy twist of lemon. There is a gritty, distinctive, and mildly-peppery yeasty quality that grows in dryness and potency as the drink progresses, and a note of sweet orange peel oil lingers in the aftertaste. T.L.'s Spring beer is quite hoppy yet devoid of the oppressive bonk on the head of bitterness. The brew finishes dry and grassy with just a touch of pucker-- begging the drinker to take another quenching sip. The drink is drier and progressively more peppery and yeasty as it warms.
Ham's Spring Ale is medium-light in body with fine carbonation and mouthfeel. Very tasty and highly drinkable. Proven poundable by 99.9% of all samplers surveyed onsite.
