Beer of the Weekend #1,073: Tiny Dancer
In honor of March Madness, the beer of the weekend is a basketball-themed brew from SingleSpeed Brewing of Waterloo, Iowa: Tiny Dancer. Serving type: 12-ounce can. “CANNED ON 02/19/24” is printed on the bottom. Appearance: Poured into a pint glass. The color is lightly hazy gold with maybe a light tint of amber. A finger of off-white, dense, shiny head dissipates slowly. Smell: Sharp, citrusy, and hoppy. It reminds me of the pale ales of my past. There are scents of orange, grapefruit, and lemon. There is a little bit of grass and earth. Taste: Smooth, tame, and approachable. It’s quite crushable, though the flavor is on the muted side. Light citrus, mostly grapefruit, a touch of melon, lemon, grass, and earthy spice and bitterness that lingers on the taste buds.
