Little Dove
Little Dove is a New World pale ale first brewed a decade ago and back in 2026 as a Western Australian limited release in its original recipe. Cascade, Chinook, Centennial and Mosaic lift guava, passionfruit and stone fruit, while a deeper malt base sets light caramel and biscuit underneath the fruit. At 6.2 percent it carries more weight than a session pale ale, with the bitterness held in balance. The name follows the Duyfken, Dutch for little dove.

Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Little Dove
Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.
The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
