What to try this weekend: beers for spring?

It's technically not spring yet, of course, but it ought to be, just so we can get some in before summer hits. To that end, we grabbed some reviews from one of our beer guys (Stephen Schmitt, at the Gandy Blvd, Tampa store) of some beers that seem just right for this fantastic weather we've been having lately.


 


Cisco Whale Tail- Pours orange with a huge fluffy white head. The aroma is full of spice and pine with hints of sweet bread. The taste is equal parts tangerine, pine, and spice with a sweet grain finish and lingering pine resin and citrus. This is very refreshing with a nice complexity. 88/100


  Cisco Grey Lady- Smells of light spice and a hint of floral sweetness. The spice is apparent up front with some citrus and hints of hibiscus. There is a bit of cinnamon in the finish. Overall, this is a light and refreshing brew with spice to keep things interesting. This beer would be ideal if wither you wanted something light yet festive four our Florida winters or something a bit more complex for a beachside sunset. 86/100


Roscoe's Hop House Pale Ale: Pours amber with a light head. Citrus, lemon zest, and pine up front. This has a great citrusy nose. Pine resin, citrus, and some sweet tangerine are the start of the show. This is a great beer to pair with food. 87/100
