Tiny Tim
The Brewer's Art

 

 

 

 

 

 

This beer was described as having flavor/hints of rosemary and hibiscus flavoring. It was ok but the rosemary was so strong, it was hard to detect anything else. I probably would not seek this out again. Maybe you have to really love rosemary..? Not very drinkable.

I wish I liked Brewer's Art more. As I said, this was my first trip but I was very underwhelmed with the service. Food was excellent. I like that they have more affordable "bar food" options. I sat upstairs but it would be nice to at least get some service/help. Bartenders not very helpful. Maybe it was an off night?

On tap at Max's the other night.

The beer pours a golden tan color with good head retention and lacing. The nose is pretty intriguing on this beer, with the rosemary spice really dominating the aroma profile. It's gives the beer a spicey, almost paste like aroma. Doesn't sound attractive, but really I found it interesting and enjoyable. On the palate, along with the spice, I get some interesting lemon/lime and honey. The beer is pretty smooth on the palate and drinkabilty is very good. The beer finishes well and the alcohol is very well disguised.

While nothing earth shattering, this is an enjoyable, very easy going ale. Not bad at all.

This was a very interesting beer, probably my favorite of the night. Probably should be reclassified as an herb/spiced beer.

Pours a gold amber, little head or lacing by the time it got to me. Perhaps not so interesting to look at.

Smell is intriguing - rosemary and honey! Very interesting.

Taste is the same. Sweet at the front, a significant bitter hops presence in the middle, but finishing on a rosemary note. According to the notes, this has hibiscus flowers in it as well, but I didn't pick up on those.

Mouthfeel is light to medium, finishes pleasantly dry.

Drinkability: this is a very drinkable brew. Went perfectly with the rosemary-garlic fries we ordered.

A mostly clear gold color, with a quickly fading head. Both smell and taste were dominated by a spiciness that I could best identify with cardamom. The nose was the aformentoned spice with a little flowery sweetness. It ended up tasting a bit like curry, but without the hotness. Definately interesting. The mouth feel was great, as was drinkability.

Tiny Tim is a nice Belgian-style blond ale with a fair amount of spice. Beer poured a hazy golden amber into a Brewers Art-logo'ed chalice. Fair amount of carbonation, little to no head. Sweet, Peppery-notes dominated the smell. Taste came across as a blending of Belgian sugars, peppercorn and coriander. The blend worked very well. Mouthfeel is very refreshing, the carbonation really makes the delicate flavors come to life. High drinkability, several could be quaffed on a warm summers night.

"Tiny Tim is making a reappearance after it ended up being a hit when it debuted last February. This is a 5%abv blond beer made with buckwheat honey and seasoned with hibiscus and rosemary. It is a delicious summer refresher." - Brewers Art slug (for Posterity)
