    The Curl is being bottled today!

    One of the first Imperial beers made at Short’s, this American Pilsner has an appealing clear, bright, golden straw color. Faint esters of fresh baked bread and grain aromas precede the flavor resulting from the abundance of flake maize used in this recipe. Hefty doses of hops create a pronounced dryness that seamlessly blends with the crisp, clean finish.

    Someone tell me if it's better than My Antonia so I can decide if I want to hunt it down or not.

    I drank a 750ml Curl from the Imperial Beer Series (brewed in 2006) last night. It was outstanding.

    How much do I have to pay to get my hands on a 750 series bottle from Shorts? Name your price.

    I dont get the label. The dude looks like he's being hanged. Do they have an obsession with hangings?

    Isn't it a dude balancing a pint on top of a stick on his chin whilst pouring another pint?

    But he's floating in space. Looks more like his tongue is stuck to the bottom of the glass.

    He is paying tribute to both Michael Jacksons: moonwalking while enjoying good beer.

    The Curl wasn't in the Imp. beer series, it was released before that series. That and Mystery Stout were available.
