West Coast Pale Ale.
Whilst we’re very much a brewery that produces modern, hop-forward beer, sometimes you have to look back to the old school and honour the breweries without whom we wouldn’t be here today. Little Petal takes a detour from our usual output down the Pacific highway for a deliciously moreish West Coast Pale – clean and crisp resinous bitterness takes the lead here, with a classic hop lineup of Cascade and Simcoe.

Slightly hazy golden pour with a decent white head. Aromas of citrus/grapefruit, pines, herbs, malt. Taste is quite similar, some more tropical fruits as well - decent bitter finish.

1/3 pint, draught at Mother Kelly's N17. Filmy layer, clear late straw coloured body, fair lacing. Inviting smell of floral hops and ripe fruits. Taste of herbal hops with a citric touch. Bone dry ending with piney moments. Decent. (Tottenham Hale,, London 15.03.2024).

440ml can bought as part of a delivery from the brewery. Fairly light gold and clear with a thin ring of white head. Piney character with notes of apricot and white grapefruit in the aroma. Taste is fairly bitter, some berry, a little bit of grapefruit. Very bitter finish wish tongue-coating resinous hop oil. May not be to everyone's taste but I loved it.

Stråfarget. Nesten klar. Filmskum. God ferskenaroma. Smaken tørket frukt. Tørr, lett bitter avslutning.

440ml can from Stan's Superstore, St Martins. Misty golden yellow pour with a large white head. Good gentle haze, super soft and light, feels more 3.8% than 5.4%.. nicely easy drinking stuff, though confusingly very far from a West Coast profile.
