Little Monster
Little Monster is a session pale ale at 3.5%, built on a multigrain grist of barley malt, oats, wheat and rye. The oats and wheat give it a softer, fuller mouthfeel than its low strength would suggest. Citrus leads the hop character, and the finish is soft and dry. Noticeably hoppy for the strength, without the harshness of a stronger IPA.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Little Monster
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.
