Little Creatures Pacific Ale

Tap to rate

Straw-coloured and lightly hazy, hopped with Galaxy on its own. The single hop puts fresh passionfruit at the front, trailed by guava and a squeeze of lime. A grain bill of rye and wheat gives soft carbonation and a thin peppery dryness in place of malt sweetness. The bitterness is moderate and the finish falls away dry and quick.

Galaxy hop dominates the nose with prominent passionfruit and guava notes that lead the profile. Lime zest cuts through the tropical fruit, adding brightness and definition. A light peppery spice emerges from the rye and wheat grain bill, without any sweetness to mask it.

Serve at 7–10°C

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.

Pint glass

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.
