Little Creatures Pale Ale

GOD, I love my son!!!!!

Xmas present 2 doz stubbies of LCPA. How good is this beer?

The passionfruit flavours from the Amarillo (I am right aren't I????) are so unbelievable.

It was a hard week away....get up, go fishing, come in and revitalise witha LCPA or a Coopers Sparkling. Around to the RSL and some shooners of Tooheys Old and back home to some Jack or Turkey.

It was hard but I managed to survive!!!!

Freo has some top beers! I was given a nice 12 pack selection of random micros and imports by my BIL and there were a few beers in there that came from Freo micros. LCPA, LCBA, Matilda Bay Bohemian Pils, and another Matila Bay which eludes me ATM.

It's not Amarillo, they use Chinook and Cascade hops. There was a very detailed discussion about this some time ago on another forum, and the brewery itself gave about as much detail as they could, short of publishing the complete brewing recipe and mashing/hopping/fermenting etc schedule.
I think they do use a hopback, which I guess we can try to replicate by dry hopping.
Have a look for the 2 threads on this forum for Boonie's LCPA clone.

geez.. wish i was old enough to have a son who'd be old enough to get me beer now!
also, I wish my dad would appreciate the nicer beers - he drinks carlton cold and tooheys extra dry platinums, and doesn't like anything else i offer him

LCPA uses Cascade and Chinook hops.

Redback? Beez Neez? Rooftop Red?

Rooftop Red, thats the one! Bloody good drop! Thanks KEG.

Yeah, the Rooftop Red is my showcase for melanoidins.

by **Kevnlis** » Thursday Jan 03, 2008 8:48 am

It reminded me of a Leinenkugels Red, which is one of my favorite drops back in the states. Actually all of the Leinenkugels are quite good for megaswill

The brewery was only an hours drive from where I grew up so we used to get slabs for about $7 after the bottle return, and half barrels (60L I think?)were around the $50 mark

This was 5 years ago, but I can not imagine it has gone up much...

Do I even need to comment??

Everyone knows I love the LCPA.

For your next one, get your son to get you the Matilda Bohemian Pilsner :wink:

freaking bewdiful.

or Try the Little Creatures Golden, Rogers and Pilsner. Not as good as the PA but pretty good.

Cheers

dont you mean the bright ale? unless they've come out with something new...

by **Danis** » Thursday Jan 03, 2008 2:41 pm

Mmm, I love Rooftop Red. And LCPA. And just about everything mentioned here. Anyone else found Rooftop to be a love it or hate it beer?

Yep. Like I said, I reckon it's the melanoidins. For those used to bland Australian megaswill, they're a big eyeopener, and some don't like the taste of outrÃƒÂ©.

Yeah, that's it......I actually posted it, went to the local HBS and he said, do you have a recipe for Bright Ale.....straight away I thought, bugger, they'll correct me on that :lol:

On Rooftop, at first I thought, holy shite, what's that....then it grew on me.

Cheers

On the weekend I tried a MUDGEE PALE ALE.

Very similar to a LCPA - I liked it a lot.

by **Boonie** » Friday Jan 04, 2008 11:29 am

What bottlo did you get that from?

Cellarbrations. Near me in Castle Hill, Sydney - not sure how widespread they are.

by **Boonie** » Saturday Jan 05, 2008 8:36 pm

Got a small bottlo called that around the corner that I never go to 1.5k's away.......will try tomorrow

They are small and may not have, but what the hey !!

Was down in Sydney for the weekend, to attend a birthday bash organised by daughter and son, against my express wishes.
Took the opportunity to make my way down to Northmead Cellars, (only a 15 minute drive from son's place)and bought some SchÃ¶fferhoffer hefeweizens and some Paulaner dunkelweizens, and also scored myself a SchÃ¶fferhoffer Â½ litre weizen glass.
Noticed they had LCPA on the shelf in Â½ litre bottles, not the shitey 330 mil ones!

Yesterday I shopped at D. Murphys and bort the 568ml "Pint" of LCPA for $5.99.
What a marvellous drop and in a proper sunday sized bottle... I noticed there was bright ale as well and i kicked myself for not grabbing one of them.

The LCPA pint .. 100% happy with the taste and refreshment... only thing is I dont think i chilled it down long enough.

You can get away with that in LCPA.

Mmm maybe Gregb,

Still another hour in the fridge would of suited me better. Would be an absolute thirst slaker in summer, say after mowing the lawn
