Made to be a big beer but with less alcohol. Mashed in at a high temperature for a full body and juiced up with citrus and tropical fruit hops. Proof that Little is the new big. [Little Smuling] - Cute, cuddly and vicious. Everywhere Hendrik Jacobus Smuling went, Little Smuling came too. Beware though! Small dog, BIG BITE.

330ml can from the Jumbo, Rotterdam Blaak. Poured a mostly clear golden colour with a huge, but short-lived, fizzy white head. The aroma is grainy, light citrus. The flavour is light bitter, with a crisp, watery, light herbal, light citrus hop bitter palate. Light bodied with lively carbonation.

Can, 3.1%. Good fruity aroma. Cloudy orange colour. Good stable creamy and frothy white head. The flavour is fruity and peachy. Good mouthfeel for the ABV. Isotonic and slightly watery finish.
