Zero Fucks Given (ZFG)
Hidden Springs Ale Works

This one purchased on tap at the Grand Hyatt Tampa Bay Hotel lobby watering hole. Pours a hazy pale amber producing a short finger of foamy, shortlived, off-white head that melts down to nothing more than a collar ring. Aroma is pale and light bready malt with notes of earthy floral tangerine, peach and melon. Taste is similar but thin and weak with much less complexity being overwhelmed by citrus and little else. Disappointing after the promise of the nose. Finishes dry and peppery. There's a long lived bitterness in the aftertaste. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Spicy, peppery and chalky.

 

 

Despite the zero IBU label, the beer still has a hoppy overtone. Overall a light and refreshing beer.

 

Tall undated can

Hazed pour, under a fluffy, large and long
lasting cap.

Leaves a load of thick froth and scattered lacing on the glass.


Pungent herbal hop sniff.

Brightly flavorful, fruity and earthy, with ripe tropical fruits abounding …. Worthy and well worth a try

 

Pours a murky apricot with a huge white pillow of a head that seems to last forever, spotty lacing. Aroma is faint citrus and melon. Flavor follows the nose, sweet but not cloying, void of hop bitterness. Feel is medium bodied and lacking adequate carbonation. Overall only a so so beer with a huge price point. Disappointed.

 

A solid drinker. Better from the tap than the can. Nice light mouthfeel for an IPA. Enjoyed the carbonation and hop profile. Also a great brewery if you can get there.

 

 

 

 

 

Easily one of the best beers of any variety that I’ve ever had. Reminds me of a hazy IPA on the feel without bitterness, but with the full flavor of a pale ale. Almost a creamy feel. Hoppy but not bitter. Citrusy but not overbearingly dry. Flat out great beer. A new favorite for me and I’m one that typically likes browns and porters unless it’s unbearably hot, then I go to IPAs. I could see myself enjoying ZFG into the winter time. It’s that good.

Can from Canton St May 2020

This beer is awesome! What’s with the low reviews from like 2017? Maybe it was poor then, it’s great now. This is a delicious easy quaffing pale with tons of hop flavor, with a smidge of lemon, grass and crackers. This is the craft beer drinker’s summer beer. Fantastic.

got this in tampa. great hoppy beer with almost no ibus

 

2019 16 oz can from Florida.
Cloudy, pale amber body with moderately high visible carbonation and a good white head.
Crisp, medium-light body with lively carbonation and a fairly dry finish.
Fruity aroma with some appealing citrus notes. The flavor is bold for style and more dank and grassy than the aroma.

Presentation: 16 oz. can with no dates, served in a Sensorik glass.

Appearance: The bright white, one and a half finger head stays around for a very long time and leaves a lot of thick lacing all over the glass. It's a beautiful, bright, hazy, pale gold color.

Smell: It's fruity and fresh with aromas of grapefruit, orange and lemon. There's also some floral and earthy grass notes as well.

Taste: It's juicy and full of citrus character with notes of freshly squeezed lemon juice and grapefruit pulp. Some oily, hop resin lingers in the aftertaste. There's no bitterness at all.

Mouthfeel: It's smooth and creamy but slightly cloying. It has a medium body and low carbonation.

Overall: Just as advertised, there's absolutely no bitterness. It's pretty impressive considering none of the hop character is lost on the scent or palate. A very good beer for anyone who enjoys hops or newcomers to beer that are put off by extreme bitterness.

 

 

 

 

Poured a clear, golden body with one-finger head and constant lace ring down glass. Aroma is earthy, mild, almost airy with a citric vibe. Smooth, clean body, the hoppiness is earthy, citric and crisp with a snappy finish. Good balance in the light body of mild maltiness/sweetness and overall just an easy drinking pale ale.
