Bottle: Poured a coppery orange with a huge off white head. Aroma is tobacco spice with loads of fruit. Taste is a bit copper metallic with some fruit and spice. This has held up very well since it was brewed in ’08.

bottle at Ft Wayne tasting - Pours hazy orange with a massive off-white head. The aroma is of bready malt and yeast. It has a sweet malt taste with some fruit notes. It’s very bubbly on the palate and has a little bitterness in the finish. Interesting beer. It’s just alright, but it beats the hell out of the only other "small beer" I can remember having, the Anchor Steam small.

Thanks to goldtwins for sharing - pours a fizzy, lightly hazy dark gold - fairly complex, dry, spicy and biscuity aroma - the flavor is much sweeter, but still with a lot of spice, that even starts to become warming near the finish - slightly phenolic, and even a little nutty - sugar, bread/yeast and coriander in the finish - gets even spicier as it warms - quite nice.
