Tampa Bay Brewing Co Cloudy Donkey
What the brewers say
“Double dry-hopped pale ale brewed with London Fog yeast, Citra, Equanot, Motueka hops, and dry-hopped with Sabro hops.”
What our panel thought
“The aroma blends citrus esters, lime and orange hops, and some sweet bready malt that all carry forward into the flavor. It’s a great representation of the hazy pale–ale style, being lighter-toned than an IPA version, but delivering the things you love.”
What our editors thought
“Chiseled tropical-fruit aromas underpinned by strong classic pale-ale tones, as lighter tropical and funky fruit notes skitter over deep orange and sweet roll wafts. Quirky and angular in the sip, with bright acidity that buoys the strong citrus notes as they bob around the lighter tropical sea without losing their definition. Peppery bitterness punches quickly and dissipates. Full without being heavy, and loaded with personality that doesn’t detract from ordering a second and a third.”
