On tap at TJs tonight.

Pours a hazy, light straw with amber hues. Decent head, but absolutely great lacing, as rings form from the first sip to the last.

Aroma is of grassy hops with some notable pine, as well as hints of lemony citrus hop character. The flavor swings further towards grassy and piney with a good bitterness, almost IPA worthy, as it almost drowns out the aromas. There is a good bready malt backbone present, too, and it provides some nice balance to the brew.

The only real issue that I have with this beer is that the bitterness is far too assertive for the delicate hop flavors that come through in the aroma. They are drowned out. Overall, this is a very good take on a pale ale, but it could stand to improve a bit, yet.

16oz can thanks to readbaron and mulder1010. Into a Brooklyn tulip.

Pours a bright light orange golden colour with a hazy appearance. Nice off-white fluffy foam that lasts forever and leaves spots all over the glass.

Smells brilliant. Lots of mango and then a little floral, maybe dandelions. Some pine and grapefruit too.

Tastes of grapefruit and a little bit of pine. Not as defined as the smell. Still very solid.

Softer feel, lighter body that builds with bitterness towards the end. Very, very drinkable. To the point where you realise the 16oz will be gone way too soon!

I'll generally go into bat for Little Creatures at its best as a very good pale ale, but this leaves it well in the shade. Superbly drinkable. Amazing to smell and looks a treat. Nice hop fix. Wish we had something in Australia that comes close.

A - Light golden, huge white fluffy head, patchy lacing up to high beer mark, not hazy but only semi translucent

S - flowery, grass, carmel, grain, faint citrus, earthy, wheat

T - grain, flowery, carmel, grass, earth, dirt. finish isnt bitter (3/10) nor sweet.

M - med body, not much froth, med/high viscosity, little more acidity than expected

O- Pretty dull. Honestly i feel left hanging. I keep waiting for the burst of flavor - and every sip i am let down. This flowery/grass/dirt taste is just not appealing. Aside from the look, I would not talk highly of this.
