Little Creatures Juicy XPA

Tap to rate

A cloudy, straw-pale ale fermented with a London Fog yeast that keeps it hazy and soft. Azacca, Cascade, Chinook and Idaho 7 carry mango, stewed pineapple and orange peel over a quiet base of pale ale malt and wheat that stays faintly bready. The mouthfeel is smooth rather than sharp, the bitterness held back, and the finish short and fruity.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with stone fruit and tropical notes—ripe mango and stewed pineapple dominate, supported by bright citrus peel and a faint herbaceous undertone from the hop selection. Beneath lies a subtle bready grain note from the pale malt and wheat base, kept soft and unassertive by the London Fog yeast's phenolic restraint.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and inviting, with tropical fruit flavors immediately present—orange and pineapple lead the palate. Mid-palate remains soft with a faint, wheaten sweetness and a whisper of bready malt character. Bitterness is deliberately held back at 20 IBU, allowing fruit and juice to shine without sharp edges.
