Arguably our most well-balanced beer, Small Craft Warning seems at once hop-forward and malt-forward; our brewers debate over which flavor force prevails in the beer. Small Craft exemplifies a robust pilsner - it's crisp, well-carbonated, and slightly sweet. The beer is characterized by a firm malt backbone and a pronounced hop character. A fine aroma, from an array of hops, completes this quaffable beer.

2005 bottle. Fine bubbles rise vigorously to create a large, long-lived fluffy white head atop a bright goldenrod colored body. Pils malt and some grassiness in the nose, with a rather sugary feel to it. Quite sweet to begin, in flavor, but lager yeast and awesome grassy hoppiness prevail upon the uber malt. I like this, I’m not afraid to admit it. Probably ageable for a year too. Light spices, some hay, bit of vanilla. Medium-full body. Low, natural carbonation. Bit of apricots on the end.

Clear golden coloured body with almost no head. Light maltiness in the aroma with some hops and some light sugars. Light-bodied; Somewhat hoppy with a bit of malt-VERY bland! Aftertaste very clean and dissapointing. Overall, NOT good: but good to try the rarity. I sampled this pint on draught at RFD in Washington, D.C. on 20-June-2004 with JonR888710 & Haddon90.
