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.

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.
