Small Beer is an exceptionally satisfying and full-bodied beer for its stature, with the same big hop hit you may expect from our more muscular Pale Ales. Small Beer is vibrant with citrus, tropical fruit and hedgerow berry flavours, meandering to a gentle bitter finish.

Bottle from Sourced Market St Pancras and drunk at home. Hazy amber colour lasting off white head. Tropical fruit aroma. It’s an ok golden ale. Some hoppiness to it. Like a white stone fruit with a little tropical fruit. Not much malt as you would expect. But you wouldn’t know it’s a 2.4% ABV beer. Decent enough.

Archer, Amarillo, Minstrel, Summit, Simcoe and Citra hops. Almost clear gold beer, a few pale cream colour bubbles for a head. Palate is light, mildly dry and has modest fine carbonation. Mildly sweet pale malts. Light orangey hops, some zip and a touch of spice. Mild lemon and floral things with a whisper of something tropical in the background. Light dry finish. Mild citric linger. Not bad but I wish these small beers weren’t quite so small!

Bramling Cross, Motueka, Columbus, Ella, Admiral hops. Light haze on this gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is airy, semi dry and has decent fine carbonation. Light thin malts, trace of creamy sweetness, touch of lactose. Very mild hops - touches of citrus and floralness. Light dry finish. Inoffensive but dull.

Keg at craft co holburn. Translucent golden orange coloured pour with a lasting thin white head. Aroma is juice citrus orange, zesty, clean bready grains , semi crisp. Flavour is composed of semi crisp bready grains , orange rind, drying finish. Hint of tangerine and grass. Palate is light and refreshing, slightly grainy, highish carbonation. Nice crisp and drying finish. Fairly easy going but maybe a little one dimensional.

0,33l bottle at home from trade with minutemat, big thanks. Bottled 22.07.2015, BB 22.12.2015. amber clear color, small white head. smells of pines, light sweetness, peppery, spices, some tropical fruits, mango, nice smell. light body, soft carbonation, at first rather slick mouthfeel but after a while it gets quite watery (towards the finish). tastes of grass, herbal, spices, some burned malts, peppery, very light notes of tropical fruits again. finishes rather herbal bitter and with some burned malts. decent stuff, especially considering the ABV, overall liked the smell a bit better than the taste. on first sip rather thin, but both the mouthfeel gets better and the watery taste towards the finish improves too. overall nice, I wonder how this was when fresher.
