Dry and firmly bitter.
A trim base, a hop-led finish — the classic setup for a hop-forward beer.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Little Dove
◎ Appearance
Little Dove presents a bright golden-amber hue with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head that leaves delicate lacing along the glass. The carbonation is well-integrated, delivering steady streams of small bubbles that sustain the foam structure throughout the pour.
◌ Aroma
The nose leads with vibrant tropical fruit notes—guava and passionfruit dominate—supported by stone fruit character from the Cascade and Centennial hops. A subtle malt sweetness of light caramel and biscuit rounds the aromatic profile, creating balance between hop-driven fruitiness and grain foundation.
◐ Taste
Entry is smooth and full-bodied, with tropical and stone fruit flavors immediately present on the palate. Mid-palate develops warm notes of caramel and toasted biscuit from the deeper malt base, while a moderate bitter bite emerges without harshness, maintaining equilibrium through the drink.
◑ Finish
The finish is clean and lingering, with residual stone fruit and a gentle bitter edge that persists pleasantly without drying the palate. The 6.2% ABV carries sufficient weight to sustain the aftertaste without alcohol heat.
Serve & Enjoy
How to get the most out of 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.
