Commercial Description:
Available on draught in select bars and restaurants, Tarpon Spoon is characterized by its classic toasted malt flavors, which are balanced by its complex blend of spicy, citrus and floral Saaz hop aromas. Golden in color, Tarpon Spoon is a medium-bodied, full-flavored beer that is well-balanced, has a refreshing finish and a long-lasting foam head. The beer’s unique citrus aromas, combined with its color and mouth-feel, make it particularly refreshing and enjoyable in Florida’s warm and sunny climate. Tarpon Spoon is brewed with two-row malt and a touch of toasted malt. It is spiced using Saaz and Tettnanger hops, which give it the soft, rounded bitterness and flavor of a Bohemian pilsner.

Too light and a little watery, I guess the sunky aroma turned my off, I ’m not much of a pilsner fan anyway

Draught (Busch Gardens, Tampa): Pours medium golden with a 1.5 inch white head that lasts 5 minutes. Aroma of a good skunky pils, with malt and saaz hops overpowering. Flavor is bitter and sweet/skunky and a little gummy. Medium body with above average carbonation. Finish is toasty malt, and bitter.

Sampled at GABF 2007. Clear fluorescent yellow with a synthetic head. Slightly grainy aroma. Water bomb thinness. Perhaps a breif dunking of a teabag full of hops into each bottle, but other than that, I’m not sure how this differs from their other gazillion barrel madness.

Draught into Tarpon Spoon footed pilsner on holiday. Not bad for A-B. Notes of citrus in aroma with a clean crisp flavour.
