A Little Faith

Tap to rate

Juice, citrus and tropical fruit, all the flavour of Faith poured into a hazy session IPA at 4.0%. The idea sits in the name: a little Faith, even more sessionable at a lower ABV. Its big sibling is the brewery's flagship and took gold at the 2025 SIBA North East awards in the bottle and can pale ale class.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for A Little Faith

◎ Appearance

A Little Faith presents a pale golden hue with pronounced haze from suspended yeast and proteins. The head rises quickly and clings to the glass with fine, persistent lacing. Carbonation is evident and lively throughout.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus and stone fruit—orange zest and apricot—layered with tropical notes of mango and passionfruit. A restrained, clean malt base supports without dominating, while the haze suggests a soft, yeasty undertone characteristic of the style.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and approachable, with juice-forward flavors of orange and grapefruit meeting gentle tropical sweetness. The mid-palate maintains brightness without sharp edges, and the 40 IBU bitterness arrives late and measured, finishing clean rather than aggressive.

◑ Finish

Serve at 7–10°C

Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.

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.

Drink fresh. Session IPAs are brewed to be consumed young — the hops are at their best now.
