Crafting mixed culture ale in the beautiful Pacific Northwest
Founded by partners in life and work, Charles Porter and Brenda Crow, Little Beast is a family brewery with a passion for making great beer and sharing it with others.

We craft wild, wood-aged and blended beer naturally with diverse cultures, including Saccharomyces, Brettanomyces, Lactobacillus, and wild flora. By harnessing the little beasts that ferment our beer, we capture their untamed beauty and produce farmhouse beers that are diverse in flavor and rare in character.

Hazy and pale, with a thick head. Big fruity hop aroma, lots of bright stone fruits, happy citrus, maybe a bit of tropical. There's just enough malt, but it seems fairly lean at first. Decent bitterness. Lots of citrusy, juicy character. Again, these are bright and appetizing hops.

Can. Golden and bright. On the nose, kind of earthy and catty. On the palate, similar. Lots of bright biscuity malts, though. Those malts help to balance the hops - even the citra isn't overwhelming. Well constructed, though if you're going to go old school maybe gimme some ctz or something.

375 c&c from the Stevens Creek Total Wine in San Jose, CA. Pours clear, bright gold with a transient white head. Aroma of chamomile, and light malt. Tart it is. Med body or so. Flavor is chamomile with light malt in support. Lactobacillus seems the flavor - definitely not Brett. Fairly dry. Lightly tart/bitter. Touch of hop spice. Exquisite.

375 c&c from the Stevens Creek Total Wine in San Jose, CA. Pours translucent gold with a humongous creamy white head. Aroma from the foam is very nice Brett. Med plus body. Flavor is extremely nice Brett. Might stand up against Orval. Very dry. Brett bitter. Citrus and a mix of wheat and malt. And Brett!!!!!!!! Excellent.

473 ml can. Pours amber with moderate head. Aromas of candied pineapple, soft pine, biscuity malts and a little dank hops. Flavors follow same with additional bitter citrus. Clean bitter finish. Good stuff

473mL can, pours a hazy pale golden with a small white head. Aroma reveals faded mangoes, some wheaty notes, light acidity, and a very gentle wild yeast profile. Flavour is likewise quite restrained -- it's not obvious that there's mango in here, though it seems like there's some sort of acidic citrusy fruit character. There's a hint of tartness, mild acidity, and all in all, not a whole lot of depth. It's refreshing and drinkable, but just not all that interesting. Underwhelming, especially for Little Beast.

Can, from Cask & Barrel. Here we have a mango beer, that for whatever reason I couldn't find in the db. Dullish haze. Not much head. Moderate fruit, and you wouldn't specifically know it was mango. The base isn't all that bright, which is disappointing. It's not a bad beer, but certainly doesn't bring the noise the way I would have wanted.

Can. Golden beer with a white head. Passionfruit and light earth aroma with light tartness. Passionfruit and light sour flavor with light citrus. Medium bodied. Passionfruit and light sourness lingers with light citrus.
