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.

Bottle. Pours with a large frothy white head and a slightly hazy amber colour. A great pine-citrus hop dominated aroma. An overriding and lingering bitterness with the slightest touch of sweetness in the finish.

Bright amber pour with small white head that leaves nice lacing. Aroma is of grapefruit, peach, very green and grassy (presumably from dry-hopping with cascade or similar. Hints of pine. Low malt is just noticeable. Malt is much more dominant in the taste, followed by a lingering metallic bitterness. Definitely more balanced than the aroma. Rather weak body, high carbonation. One of the best well-known (as in available in pretty much every bottle-o) beers in Australia.

A pretty little bottle it a pretty little beer inside Lightly foaming and copper coloured. Very citric with hints of banana; bittersweet. Cereally and citrus fruity. Nice tongue covering bready notes. Delicate and layered grassiness and hints of tropical fruit. Lovely palate cleansing bubbles matched with smooth oily pulpiness. Very pleasant and great with lighter foods or on a outside in the sun.

After pouring the smell was of rich citrus fruit but near the end of the bottle it turned to burnt perspex. To be honest you have to like strong mottled lemon pith to rate this beer higher. I’m mildly disappointed as 2 friends of mine raved about this.

Just wanted to make sure this was my first beer ever rated. Best served fresh from the tanks at Little Creatures in Fremantle. A wonderful aromatic sensation when first sampled, this became a favourite during my time in Western Australia. Also tried on tap at other locations and bottled. Brought one 0,7 litre bottle back home with me and drunk it with a friend about six months later. Wonderful. citrus, floral, resin aroma, pale, hazy appearance white foam, medium bitterness, medium body, average carbonation, bitter finish. Almost like a light India Pale... I will forever love this beer!

Pours a coppery colour, nice floral aroma. Very big hoppy beer, almost to much so; the finish is almost a bit harsh.
