This English-style Pale Ale was made with a special English yeast strain and spicy European hops. It is light in color, sweet upfront with a dry finish. Letting this beer warm up will brighten it and make the flavors more apparent.

On-tap at Ashley's in Ann Arbor. Tasted 13 November 2013, reviewed from notes.

Pours a murky pale yellow. No head or visible bubbles. Doesn't look especially appetizing.

Smells like iced tea, a mellow tea aroma. Not much in the way of anything else - no hops, no malty notes. Smells like watered-down tea with a touch of sweetness.

Taste just doesn't work that well. Apparently tea and a low-hop pale ale aren't a great combination. Half of each of those, which clash with each other. I get the bad sides of each, and not enough of the good sides.

Feel is thin, a touch flat.

An odd tea-flavored beer, which I guess I should expect from the name. But what I didn't expect was how strange it would come out.

This brew was served on tap at the Kuhnhenn Brewing Company taproom in Warren, Michigan. It arrived in a generic pint glass, showing a dusty straw coloring. A half finger tall head of bubbly white foam was appreciated, but this showed poor retention. A chill haze cut clarity, with no sediment otherwise noted. Carbonation appeared to be light. The aroma gave notes of green grape resins, faint piney and citric hops, stale pale malts and drying cereal grain, and that English bite of white vinegar. With warmth came cherry pits, soft banana esters, chalk, distant echoes of strawberry and red cherry fruitiness, and old apple juice. Our first impression was that the beer sang true to style, with relatively fresher and wetter hops than the nose may have initially lead with. The sip opened with crisp pale malts, lactic acidity, citric and grassy hops, earthen mineral, sourdough yeast, salted pumpkin seeds, musk, aluminum metallics, light strawberry fruitiness, and a final raw crystal malt graininess. This helped transition to the peak, where sweetness came in the form of honey, light caramel warmth, rice krispies mallow, cucumber vegetals, plastics, nectary grapefruity hops, and continued pale malt crispness. The end washed with booze and black pepper, gravel and mineral, honey sweetness, pale malt bite, raw barley and straw, grassy metallics, dirty and earthy hops, and light raw honey sugars. The aftertaste breathed of bittering resinous and soapy hops, nectarine and red apple fruitiness, grapefruit rind, biting phenols, cereal grain, cranberry, muddy wheat, oily bark, earthen mineral, and dry almond nuttiness. The body was medium, and the carbonation was medium to high, with surprising prickle to the palate. Each sip gave okay slurp and smack, with no real creaminess of froth to be had. Actually, it thinned out quite a bit with warmth, offering no real coating other than a dripping wet film, chalky astringency, and moderate pucker. The abv was appropriate, and drinkability was satisfactory.

Overall, the best thing about this beer was its flavoring. We felt this aspect of it to be relatively true to style, but with an enhanced backbone of wet hops to keep the drinker salivating, and the experience fresh and flowing. We did, however, feel that things were lost in the aroma, which was overly faint and rather adjuncty. This improved slightly with warmth, but not by enough to make up for it. The feel, while fitting to the framework of the style and the general picture going on here, didn’t add much. In the end, Timmy T’s fits stylistically, and may be a nice addition to any brewery’s easy-going, “light brew” stock, but this is not one of our new favorites.
