About
Situated in the picturesque Suffolk countryside, Little Earth Project specialises in brewing historic, farmhouse & wild beers using wild and organically farmed ingredients from the local landscape. The brewery is small but unique, using a variety of sustainable practices to brew small batch, predominantly oak aged beers.
Little Earth Project was established officially in 2016, although founder, Tom, brewed for 7 years previous in a more traditional cask style. He was always interested in brewing more historic and farmhouse styles and decided that, with the changing beer markets, that this would be a good time to try something new with the first beer being brewed in late 2015 and released in late Summer 2016.
Each beer is aged for anywhere between a couple of months to a couple of years, so patience is certainly a virtue. With dreams of building a larger barrel store adjacent to the brewery, we hope to grow and be able to share our little piece of the earth with more across the UK and beyond.

Taster at BXLBeerfest. Yellow hazy color, small white head. smells intense elder flower, earthy, nettle, herbal. Very nice smell. Full body, soft carbonation. tastes elder flower, nettle, herbal, peppery, grassy, earthy, light sugary. Finishes dry and lightly sour with notes of grass, earthy and elder flower notes. rather intense elder flower notes, but I very much like it!

Draft sample @ BXL BeerFest 2022.
Couleur dorée, col blanc.
Arôme donne au premier abord un bouquet fort marqué de fleur de sureau - apparement ajoutées en dernière addition. A l'opposé de ce que je venais de sentir avec la version sureau de Nectar Bohème.
Après qcq minutes le tout devient quasi surfait en café avec cette impression de feuilles surfementées.
Palais est marqué par un départ plaisant de sureau mais de suite repris par une note aigre-sourish de café et un fini se terminantn sur une acidité élevée.
L'apport du houblon Cascade en demeure, de fait, très faible. Pas mauvaise, mais trop aigre pour moi, et ce caractère de café nuit complètement à la base. Cet aspect, je le pense n'est certainement pas ce qui est voulu dans le produit final.
