This is our 4.8% session version of Flume. Hopped with Citra Cryo & Mosaic, this has all the explosive hop character and body as its big brother, but nearly half as strong. A perfect session IPA for the warmer months.
Admin Note: Name changed from Flume Lite to Little Flume in 2023.

Reviewed from notes.
Can to becher glass.
Appearance: cloudy yellow color with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: mixed citrusy to floral and piney hop notes with some clean malts with some tangerine-like hop to semi-spicy like hop notes
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a firm sweet to slightly hop spicy quality; finishes silty with some floral and mixed citrusy hop notes
Texture: light to medium bodied; sessionable; good smoothness with some hop silty dryness; good carb
Overall: as a session IPA it works, maybe again? Yeah, possibly.

Pours hazy gold into a willi. Bright white soapy head with medium retention recedes leaving spot lacing. White smarties and tangerine aromas. Sharp with white smarties, white bread, pine and pith front to back. Lasting tangerine pith and peel finish.

Can, from City Swiggers, Manhattan NYC (Apr 2025). Pours faintly cloudy pale yellow with a large foamy off-white head, citrus peel aroma, adequate carbonation, mildly bitter citrusy taste, smooth thin body, long finish. A bit thin but tasty.

16 oz can. Notes of melon, grass, tangerine. Flavor upfront is bittersweet citrus, cracker malt and herb. Shows soft grassy, herbal bitterness in the finish. Pretty much what I remember from original Flume. Just the tone down version.

Tap at Beergeek. Murky full yellow body, off-white head. Huge tropical, lychee-driven aroma, gummi bears. Soft, light but full enough taste, bit prickly, again lychee and gummi bears. Not much bitterness in the finish. Nice, high class session hazy!

Pours a hazy straw from a can. Citrus and vague tropical fruit aroma. Surprisingly oily and full bodied mouthfeel. A little sweet. Good beer.
