Our newest hoppy American pale ale, Skimpy Sparrow, is the latest edition in our "Small Bird Series" of lower ABV, draft-only offerings. The nose is an intense, complex fusion of pineapple, grapefruit pith, and woodsy hop aromatics. Citrus rind, grape jam, and lemon fill out the flavor profile, with a firm and long-lasting bitterness. Very dry and effervescent, light to medium bodied.
ABV: 5.4%

A Brewver Top 50 for the style. 16 ounce can from Lower Merion Beverage in Ardmore, PA. Murky yellow gold pour is topped by a finger-high frothy white head. Aromas of pineapple, lemon curd and ripe pears. Zesty malt flavor upfront. Dryish notes of pear sorbet, white grapes, kiwi fruit and clover. Soft and smooth. Very quaffable.

Can, from the source. Pours extremely hazy dark yellow with small foamy off-white head, faint citrus-mango aroma, adequate carbonation, mildly bitter citrus-mango taste, smooth-thin body, longish finish. Nice but a bit colorless, lacking much flavor.

Can sample at a tasting at rayaron's place. Murky yellow. Fruity green oniony hops, a bit vegetal, sweetish, bitterish finish. OK.

Can: Poured a deep cloudy/hazy yellow color ale with a nice large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of dank hoppy notes with some tropical fruit and some pineapple undertones. Taste is also dominated by huge floral undertones notes of tropical fruits with some pineapple notes and light residual sugar notes with a dry finish. Body is full with good carbonation. Super enjoyable APA with ton of hops flavours.

09/28/18, damn crisp and flavorful pale ale. Tons of dry hop flavor at a light and crisp (not thin) mouth feel. Great stuff.
