Description
We're the Little Bang Brewing Company, straight from the suburbs of Adelaide. We are Fil and Ryan, our families and our pretty awesome Little Bang crew. We used to make video games for a living, we were nerds for games. We still are, really, but now we make beer.
We're much, much bigger nerds about beer. We talk about it, argue about it, dream about it and read about it. A lot. In 2013 we started collecting equipment, materials and tools, and over the next 18 months we designed and built a brewery in Fil's garage. It was crowded.
We immediately run into space and not being able to produce enough beer to meet demand problems so at the end of 2015 we moved into bigger premises in Stepney where we could fit in more fermentors and open up a cellar door.
Once again running out of space and still not being able to meet demand we move again into even bigger premises at Henry Street, Stepney where punters can pay us a visit and enjoy a beer from our 21 taps of Little Bang and guest beers, wine or food from our very own kitchen!

Looks like they have changed it up a little - 5.0 ABV rather than 5.2 as the original entry says. Feels like a macro lager with a more interesting hop profile. The aroma and taste are dominated by a straw flavour with a nice hoppy finish. Nothing to write home about.

Can. Pale gold, small white head. Aroma of citrus peel - kumquat & mandarin - spices, a hint of berry pastilles. There’s not a lot to support the hops and they get a bit earthy and bitey upon a swig even though the bitterness is only moderate. Is this one of IPL ones? I guess the name suggested it wouldn’t move me.

Can. Dark brown with a scant coat of tan head. 3- Aroma of chiles, a little plasticy really, some caramel and roast behind. Medium bodied. Quite hot with no plummy rumble that you'd associate with chipotles. The caramel and roast are not quite overwhelmed and the heat fades pleasantly. Fair enough.

Well this is a pity, the can is by far the best part. Very overcarbed to start with. Watery, lightly sour, and I just hate hibiscus. It's a bit what was promised though, if only they fixed that carbonation issue. Worst hibiscus sour of the weekend.

An old fashioned WCIPA with a little something extra. Loads of pine, resin and grapefruit give way to a little caramel aroma. The taste's slightly short, but otherwise very enjoyable.
