Great tasting beer, note the aftertaste of lychees. Very enjoyable but the flavour gets old if you have too many in a row.

Yes, definitely a great beer. Fruity and rich. A beer to savour. Some do find it too “flowery” however.

Your tasters have been drinking battery acid and ruined their palates. Little Creatures Pale Ale is a superb beer and rates at least a 4.5 to me.

I don’t usually care too much for “boutique” type beers but this one is worth the extra price. Unique taste, I like it.

A really nice drop. There’s a hint of glycerol in it and it’s very sweet. Has anyone tried Blue Tongue, which is even sweeter than LCPA?

LCPA is a great brew. Best going around, Gauge Roads IPA is not far behind in my opinion. Blue Tounge is a good beer at best, it has nothing on LCPA.
