Small Man's Wetsuit
Small Man's Wetsuit is the small pale ale among Sureshot's classics, a 3.9% beer the brewery calls its petite pale and keeps on sale alongside Milson. It is dry hopped with Idaho 7 and Galaxy plus a third variety that has changed between brews. The brewery describes a gentle tropical character with soft corners, light bitterness and a stone fruit edge; peach and apricot are the likely direction of that note. The body is light and easy, the malt stays unobtrusive, and the finish is clean.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Small Man's Wetsuit
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.
