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. 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......

Bottle Clear, amber-orange colored body, crowned with a frothy white head. The lacing was good and lasted longly. With no doubt, the aroma is hoppy with perfume, herbs and flowers hints. The flavor is bitter-sweet. Medium bodied and lightly carbonated.

Pours a hazy pale amber color with a medium white frothy head that shows good retention and leaves a beautiful film. Aroma is very hoppy but well-balanced with spicy layers. There are herbal and grassy notes with touches of oranges, dark tea, flowers and a little of honey. Extremely pleasant and seductive. Flavor is well-rounded and bitter. Wonderful from start to finish showing a fine simplicity. Crisp and flavorful, it ends with a fine astringent finish. Hoppylicious!. Mouthfeel is refreshing and dry with the alcohol always unnoticeable. Medium body and lightly carbonated. It’s really an archetype for American Pale Ales. Smooth and creamy texture. Not as spectacular as I expected but an outstanding brew for the style. By far the best less than 7% ABV beer I have tasted so far.

Thanks a lot to<a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/View-User-7208.htm> Sully for this great beer

I’ve had this straight from the tap at the brewery in Freeo - bloody awesome. such a fruity, refreshing ale. similar to coopers but with a fruitier, lighter, fresher body. the best australian ale you can buy.

A mid orange amber coloured beer with a frothy white head. a distinctly floral hop aroma with hints of citrus fruit and apple. The taste is dry, slightly bitter and hoppy. There is the citrus fruit and rosey - floral hop flavour again. The aftertaste is surprisingly smooth and slightly sweet. Bottle, purchased from Sainsburys of King’s Lynn at the clearance price of 69 pence a bottle!
