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.

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!

6th DRG. Golden color, lemon and blackcurrant aroma. Lemon, lychee, flowers and a soft but persistant oily hoppiness. Very likeable.

Thanks fo rsharing the bottle, Duane. Poured with a hazy medium gold body and a very large white head. The aroma was sweet honey and peaches with some light floral hops. The taste was dry, considering the smell. It had leaves with some grapefruit zest. Plenty of carbonation detracted from the mouthfeel.
