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.

Rich citrus aromas predominate. How come it took me so long to try this. Great depth and flavour. Will be difficult to revert to a standard lager after this. Not cheap but good value.

Every glass is a pleasure. The aroma is magnificent, hops and flowers, full flavoured bitter flavour finishing to a smooth texture on the tongue. My favourite by a long way.

cloudy amber-orange colour with a nice head and lace, robust hoppy aroma with notes of apricot, flowers and cream, medium-bodied with a solid bitterness, the finish is long, hoppy and dry - a very well-made and deeply balanced beer

Consummed bottled, on a glorious day Sydney. Murky golden honey coloured body with a fine lacy white head. Mature malt aroma, hoppy bitterness which is smooth and cleansing. Not an American style pale ale, nor an English, I think this beer has uniquely Australian flavour all of its own.

slightly sedimented golden appearance, smallish though solid head. Great citrusy hop aroma, with grapefruit dominant a little grainyness was also sensed. In the mouth there is only slight honeyish sweet malt, with hops dominating, citrus(grapefruit) and lychees, a very faint earthy yeastyness and hugely drying bitterness. Great refreshing APA, one of the best aussie beers available

Big sweet grapefruit hop aroma (cascade hops?). Somewhat cloudy appearance with decent white head that stands nicely. Plenty of citrusy hops up front in the flavour with a nice toasted malt character and a pleasant lasting bitterness and a touch of sweetness. Nice dry finish. Refreshing body and nicely carbonated. This is a fine American Pale Ale. Thanks, mutant! Bottle.
