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.

Great little ale. Lovely fresh and refreshing on hot day like today. Good floral hops, with a slight touch of soapiness in the aroma, a little biscuit, a little resinousness, almost an oakiness. The hops on the palate are just lovely rounded fruity floral hops. Bit of grapefruit, nice dry finish. The only thing I find to be lacking is the body, I’d just prefer it a little bit fuller, and possibly a bit more of a creamy carbonation-wise. All in all a good value drop that’s very hard to find much fault in for what it is - a fresh, dry hoppy pale ale.

Really lovely brew. Pours a beautiful golden, with a lovely white head. Man! The smell is just amazing!! I reckon these guys hit the nail on the head when it comes to hop aromas. However, having said that, I find the mid-palate a little thin for my liking. I really would like more balance in this brew. The remaining flavour in my mouth is just a little lacking. But, not wanting to be negative, the beer really is great, and well worth the price.

(Bottle, The Rake, Southwark, London, 18 Apr 2009) Golden amber colour with frothy, white head. Fruity, floral nose with notes of orange peel and grapefruit. Fruity, malty taste with orange peel, flowers and a solid crystal malt foundation. Floral, citrussy hops in the finish, but more emphasis on aroma than bitterness. Excellent balance. Very nice beer.

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.
