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 at Barmuda in Queenstown. Pours a slightly cloudy amber with a medium white head. Yet another solid pale ale in New Zealand- they’ve impressed me to no end with the APA and IPA styles. Aroma of floral hops, grapefruit citrus, and honey. The flavor is also hoppy and citrusy, with sweetness from the honey and some yeast for a nice balance. Bitter, crisp from active carbonation, and a nice bite.

Light copper. Lacy cream head. Honeyed citrus nose. Quite a lot of bubbles. Assertive rather than aggressive hopping. Complex resiny leatherwood middles. Carbonation doesn’t quite hide slight deadness on the palate. Very good rather than great.

Bottle. An orange-like color, a bit cloudy. The foam is not large but are lasting for quite a long time. Smells nice, a lot of citrus and a little black bear. The taste is not so extreme. Fruit and some flowers. Fresh and easy to drink. Bitterness is decent without being too aggressive. A drinkable beer that is not too advanced.

Flaske: Orange uklar øl med et kæmpe skumhoved. God blomstret duft, engelsk humle. Smagen er mindre god, lidt kedelig men en dejlig mundfylde gør øllen alligevel er yderst drikbar.

Bottle. Pours a nice bright orange with smallish dense white head. Head disappears pretty quickly with not much lacing. Plenty of citrus aromas and perhaps a little honey. Flavours are initially a little sweet followed by a fair amount of hop bitterness, Mouthfeel is nearly there though carbonation is probably a little over the top. Good beer never the less.

Bottle. Pours clear golden coloured with a nice big egg white and lasting head with lacings. Aromas of grainy malt, honey, citrus fruit and pine. Flavours of malt, mild resin, tropical fruit and some yeast. Great brew.

Bottle. Pours clear golden orange with a big white head that lasts pretty well and leaves a lot of lace. Nose is hoppy, aromas of lychee, citrus and yeast. Flavour is also quite hoppy with notes of passionfruit, malt, yeast and a little honey bound with a nice amount of bitterness. This is one of the beers that opened up my interest in beer and I used to drink it all the time. After not having had it for a while, I’m pleased to report that it’s still great.

Tap. Very good pale ale. Aroma is hoppy, with herbs. Flavour starts slightly malty, and then powerful long-lasting bitterness. Dark yellow, with a thin head that disappears. Medium to full body, with good carbonation.
