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.

Pours a nice orange-gold, small whitish head. Nose is orange rind, some honeyed and toffee pale malts, a bit of grass in there as well. Taste started with an off-putting sweetness for me, with an orange component that certainly came from the hops but didn’t really accentuate anything. I thought this was a bit malt-centric, weirdly enough - perhaps the hops faded out with some time. Palate was a bit thicker than expected, with a moderately lively carbonation.

Dark orange colored, little yellow head. Nice flowery hoppy aroma with good fruits, toffee and balancing lemon, fine APA aroma. Medium bodied. Flavor is also nice with orange and floral-hayish dominating hops, some grains there too. Mild alcohol in lasting and bitter aftertaste.

Bottle. BBF 09.05.07. Pours a slight hazy deep yellow with a fizzy white head. Very creamy, hoppy aroma, but bordered by a nice sweetness. Slightly spritzy mouthfeel. Begins with a caramel sweetness, then adds a lot of American hops. The bitterness lingers for quite some time in the corners of my mouth.

A little to sharp for my liking, but the finish is not bad. Better than ______ Bitter or Carlton, but still leaving something to be desired.

Warm golden with a huge, white head. The aroma is very spicy and it spreads in the room upon pouring into the glass. I get notes of tangerine and other fruits and the flavour is just as crisp and nice as the aroma promises... It has a lot of fruit a hint of caramel and a nice bitter and dry finish. 1571

Decent hoppy aroma, with perhaps a hint of yeast. Light coppery color with a white head that didn’t last. Starts with a fruity hop character, some citrus, maybe floral too. The flavor is refined, not harsh. The malt is present, but the bitter keeps it under control. Nice, long, pleasant, fruity, bitter finish.
