Description
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.

Alright. Pleasantly refreshing. Somethings a little sweet there though. Is it lactose?

Deep but very clear, almost crystal clear coloured body with a nice orange glow against a subdued copper body with a thinnish, one to two centimetre tall off-white head that fades slowly and leaves a subtle lace on top. Aroma of very nice and super funky foeder, spontaneously fermented and especially tart, yeast notes with a light dose of grass and grain here, but the soured, oaky, cedar and dry notes are dominant in a great way and seem to definite this beer just in the nose, almost immediately when holding the glass up to your nose. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong funky foeder and soured yeast note shows up at first with a dry quality, some light malts, a dash of hay and grass, but a bit of the tart and funky yeast shows through everything and brings out a more dryness and a lot more grassy and herbal qualities, but this is very crisp and subdued throughout. Aftertaste is enjoyable with a great complexity for the style, especially from the foeder and funky yeast notes, but the dryness here is very large and great, especially if that's what you're looking for. Overall, a very nice and especially complex beer that brings out the dry, grassy, herbal and tart notes with a nice complexity throughout - great to sample, especially as my first beer back home in the states after two weeks abroad in non-beer countries! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from La Bodega in Anchorage, Alaska on 05-October-2021 for US$5,75 with the tagline 'criti' on the bottom and the date of '05/21' sampled at my house here in Washington on 15-August-2022 after returning from a two week trip down South with my wife and three kids in South America.

On tap at Little Beast - SE Division, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out plenty of coffee, some tart funkiness, and light earthiness. Flavour is coffee-dominated, with a gentle earthy coffee character penetrating through. Pleasant iced coffee-like beer. Good stuff.

On tap at Little Beast - SE Division, pours a cloudy bright peachy orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out loads of bright strawberry, a little lemon, and some lacto. Flavour is loaded with bright strawberries upfront, accentuated by bright puckering lemon, and gentle tartness. Lovely bright strawberries and lemon. Excellent.

On tap at Little Beast - SE Division, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out piney hops, crisp biscuity malt, and a hint of dankness. Flavour is full of woody piney needles, light dankness, and crisp biscuity malt. Lots of pine needles and dryness on the finish. Pleasant but not the most satisfying hop character. Decent.
