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.

(330ml Bottle)- Drank this straight out of the bottle, so i was leaniant when rating. This beer was very Citirusy on the nose. When in the mouth very fruity, combination of lemon and grapefruit was evident. Flavour is absolutly superb. Aftertaste packs a light bitter punch, which would refresh on a summers day. This ale is in a class of its on, i highly recomend this beer.

330ml bottle at the Rake (London, 16.09.2006). Fruity summer taste. Fresh and inviting hoppy aroma. Very orange-fruity with moderate hops. White foam over a golden body. Medium level of carbonation. My first beer from down under came as a pleasant surprise!

How’s that ’Commercial Description’! I can’t really add anything to that. I like it?

Bottle. Hazy orange with creamy white head. Fresh floral aroma with motes of minrals and orange-peels. Clean bitter and aromatic floral flavour with notes of peaches, minrals and bread. Dry and a bit airy aftertaste with notes of orange-peels and minerals.

Bottled. Clear orange colour, mediumsized off-white head. Aroma is strong hops and some caramel. Flavour is smooth hops mixed with caramel. Very well done brew, and refreshing on a hot summer day.

I would day my favourite APA of the moment. Has an aroma like no other Australian made beer, due no doubt to using a hop back full of special imported hops (jealous home brewer here! mmm fresh cascade flowers!) could do with a *bit* more body, but I am a big beer kind of guy......
