Little Creatures Hazy IPA

Tap to rate

Unpasteurised and left cloudy, with malted oats and wheat building a soft, faintly creamy body. Six hop varieties, among them Citra, Galaxy and Mosaic, push mango, orange and pineapple to the front, with a resinous edge sitting behind the fruit. Carared malt lends an amber tint and a touch of biscuit. Bitterness stays low for the strength, so the beer reads juicy rather than sharp, and the finish is rounded.

The nose leads with tropical stone fruit—mango, pineapple, and orange zest—layered over a resinous, piney backbone from the six hop varieties. Beneath the hops, soft biscuit and subtle grain sweetness from the malted oats and wheat emerge, anchoring the profile without dominating.

◐ Taste

Entry is juicy and tropically fruited, with Citra, Galaxy, and Mosaic hops delivering orange and stone-fruit character across the palate. The oats and wheat build a soft, faintly creamy mouthfeel; Carared malt contributes a gentle amber note and biscuit undertone. Bitterness remains restrained at 20 IBU, sitting behind the fruit rather than asserting itself, preserving a drinking-friendly balance.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
