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.

Draught at the Australian Hotel in Sydney. Best pale ale I’ve had.... or maybe it just shown against the other crap Aussie beers I’d sampled up to that point. Nice, crisp and hoppy enough to match the chorizo and salami pizza I was eating.

This is probably one of the best beers i have tasted, Dark and cloudy with a strong lasty head. The Flavors in this beer are complex and work well together, it has a nice mouthfeel and a good after taste. I was in heaven when i got to taste this beer at the brewery in perth and then again recently at the beerhouse in Melbourne... A fine Ale not to be taken for granted

330ml Bottle - Amber in colour with a slight haze and a foamy head. Grassy hop aroma with a lemon and grapefruiit hint. Lightly hoppy taste with grapefruit and a dry malt and hop balance.

Bottle at the Phoenix in Canberra.

A splendid and not easily characterized ale - plenty of hops by local standards but of course nothing like a West-Coast (US) IPA. But what really brings this one out is a superb malt profile mingling with the hops in an delightful pepperiness, textured cracker flavors, plain and simple one heck of a beautifully crafted, interesting, and yet entirely drinkable ale. Hands down the best beer I had on my Australia trip.

Very easy going but still plenty of flavour. Citrus is dominant on the palate, but with a mildly malty undertone. Not usually a fan of pale ales, but this one doesn’t disappoint.
