Inspired by traditional German lagers, our Tampa-style Lager is brewed with German malted barley, Hallertauer hops and an authentic Bavarian lager yeast. We combine these ingredients to create a style that’s quite unique to our hometown of Tampa, Florida, but will find admirers wherever a crisp, dry and flavorful lager is called for. Familiar to generations, it’s truly a beer that’s made for drinkin’.

From a 12oz can, at TPA, watching the thunderstorms rolling through and wondering where my plane is. Too self-conscious to turn the can over and look at the date although, since everyone around me is hammered, I don’t know why. Served in a shaker pint glass.

Clear, dark, dull gold with a scant finger of soapy head. Retention is wholly unremarkable, leaving a fizzy little collar and just the odd spot of lacing.

Mild aroma of sweet cereal. Malty sweetness and Ritz crackers - buttery-rich, but not in a diacetyl buttery sort of way.

Taste is soapy and sweet, with no discernible hop character whatsoever. Straight up malt syrup.

Feel is soapy, slippery and medium-slick bodied. Adequately carbonated, I suppose, but more would have improved its drinkability.

Overall, unlikely to ever seek this one out. It was better than the Yuengling Lager I had afterward, hence the better than average Overall score.

look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.25 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5
Look: Clear, slightly dull gold. About 1.5 fingers of foamy white head with good retention.

Smell: Cracker malt, orange peel, lightly floral. Mild all around.

Taste: Mild, sweet, bready malt and that's about it. No real hops to speak of.

Mouthfeel: Average, with very high carbonation.

Overall: A completely normal lager. Easy to drink and lacks the corn sweetness of cheap adjunct lagers, but still lacking for anything except pounding without thinking about it.
