Commercial Description:
Little Creatures was born to make a pale ale…a specific style of pale ale, a style that we are absolutely passionate about and one that we believe displays great balance of flavour and refreshment…complex yet highly drinkable. The beer's character is driven by the use of fresh whole hop flowers. Hop Flowers are carefuly selected that are bursting with aroma and contain all the essential oils and acids that deliver an uniqe flavour experience. Drink a few pints of this beer and you'll soon become one of us…a certified "hophead" craving those crisp citrus flavours of grapefruit and passionfruit and maybe a bit of honey, all backed up with a good balance of bitterness. If you're wondering what on earth malt or hops actually are then click on the two hop characters to the left and find out more. It's not just the hops that make Little Creatures Pale Ale what it is though. Selected malts are kilned in small batches to our specifications and are used exlusively in our pale ale. Two different yeasts are used to both ferment and bottle condition the beer. The latest technology and equipment is used to maintain absolute quality control and one of the main ingredients in the pale ale has got to be the amount of passion that it takes to produce a seriously good beer...we live for it! From brewing to release, a batch of pale ale takes about six weeks, allowing for two weeks conditioning in the bottle after packaging. No artificial preservatives or additives are included, just great ingredients.

Bottled. Hazy yellow. Frothy head. Citric aroma, with pineapple and sweet lemon. Big pineappley flavour profile with juicy mouthfeel. Lots of flavouring hops here with more sweetness than in the average APA. Rounded mouthfeel with a grapey finish.

(bottle) Medium gold, some white head, a hint of lace. Strong citrus/floral hops aroma. Flavor is grapefruit/citrus hops on a balanced malt backbone. Best Australian beer I’ve had on my trip here.

Begins very promisingly with floral nose, but dies down to become a reasonable pale ale. NIce session

The LCPA is a very pleasant APA with a very hoppy nose. They must be using a lot of cascade in the beer, and a fruity yeast strain. It realy shines through the elegant and full flavour beer. The palate is fresh and elegant, and the fruityness of the hops shines through. A beer for a great Thai meal. Where is the IPA?

Pint botte. Poured a golden amber, thick white fluffy head. Intense hoppy citrus, passionfruit and malt on the nose. Well balanced bitterness on a sweetish malt. Top notch APA, and hard to find a better Australian beer.

Hoppy aroma, Semi Opaque Appearence. Tastes hoppy, then sweet and fruity, slight taste of passionfruit with a bitter Finish. Excellent beer. Can honestly say it’s one of the nicest, if not the nicest, beers I’ve ever tasted. Best Australian beer by far.
