Brewer Description: (from website) A refreshingly hoppy American pale ale, Itty Bitty Goose is another edition in our “Small Bird Series” of lower ABV pale ales. The nose is an ripe apricot, lemon, and lightly toasted malt. Citrus peel and grassy hop flavors fill the palate and ends in a soft yet crisp mouthfeel. Dry and effervescent, light to medium bodied.

Intro: A 1 pint can, canned on 24th July 2017. Poured into a Lost Abbey teku glass.
Appearance: A hazy dark yellow orange colour with a just over one finger frothy bubbled white head that dissipated fairly quickly while leaving some lacing.
Aroma: Orange, lemon, citrus peel, grapefruit, biscuit malt, pine and grass with a hint of apricot.
Taste: Starts a bit empty before being filled by orange rind, orange, lemon and grapefruit with hints of apricot, peach, pine and biscuit. Lightly bitter on the finish.
Mouthfeel: Light to medium bodied with moderate carbonation.
Overall: Started out a bit weak before improving on the finish. However, this was not one of the better ones in the Small Bird Series as I preferred both Tiny Chicken and Skimpy Sparrow over this.

ABV: 5.4%
Style: American Pale Ale
Other Notes: Small Bird Series. Malts – American 2-row Barley, White Wheat Dextrine and C-15. Hops – Galaxy, Nelson Sauvin, Simcoe, Citra and Columbus

Brewer Description: (from website) An easy drinking hoppy American pale ale, Skimpy Sparrow is another edition in our “Small Bird Series” of lower ABV offerings brewed for the summer. 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.

Intro: A 1 pint can, canned on 11th July 2017. Poured into a Lost Abbey teku glass.
Appearance: A hazy dark yellow orange colour with an almost two finger large frothy bubbled white head that had decent retention while leaving some lacing.
Aroma: Orange juice is quite strong, with grapefruit, mango, peach and pineapple in the background.
Taste: Mild bitterness, peach, mango, pineapple with hints of orange, citrus rind and bready malt.
Mouthfeel: Dry, crisp-ish, light bodied with moderate carbonation.
Overall: Something about the aroma makes me enjoy the taste more than the aroma. But still refreshing and easy to drink. Tasted side by side with Lights On. Preferred the aroma of Lights On, but Skimpy Sparrow tasted better.

ABV: 5.6%

Other Notes: Small Bird Series. Malts – American 2-row Barley, Valley Rye, Valley Wheat, Flaked Oats, C-15 and Dextrine. Hops – Galaxy, Amarillo and Columbus

Brewer Description: (from website) With the New England summer fast approaching we release Tiny Chicken, another edition in our Small Bird Series of lower ABV, hazy pale ales. Deceivingly diminutive in name, Tiny Chicken packs a hoppy punch with a powerful combination of Galaxy and Amarillo. Engaging aromatics pop with notes of bright citrus and peach, while flavors of tropical fruit, melon, and orange sweep over the palate in refreshing waves. Finishing crisp and dry with slight earthy/spicy grain character from the use of locally malted wheat and Danko rye.
