Named in honor of Tampa's most famous flying visitor, this unique beer is rested on Spanish cedar to impart a mild spicy and woody complexity to a citrus-forward American Pale Ale.

Exclusively available at the Cigar City Brewing Airport Brewpub in Tampa International Airport and the Cigar City Brewing Tasting Room.

On tap at the Spruce Street Taproom! First visit here. Just a good ole pale ale. Tasty and easy drinking. Properly hopped with a clean finish. Good starter beer.

On tap at the pub in Tampa Airport.

A light golden straw color. Big sticky white foam head that leaves tons of lacing.

Aroma is prett muted. Some pale, cracker like grains, a little musty/earthy, and very light citrus.

The flavors are a different story. It has a nice spicy bite right of the bat along with some grapefruit rind, lemon, and distinct cedar wood. A nice consistent bitterness. I saw Bravo hops on the menu to thank for that. That woody (haha) flavor really lingers along side the grainy pale malts. Excellent.

Overall this is a very tasty. I really, really like the cedar aspect. Invasion may still be a better pale ale overall though.

The carbonation seems a bit on the too high side, but otherwise it is soft and light bodied.

I should note here that I went back and bumped the smell a tad because the cedar starts to come through a lot more as it warms.
