Nice Hijack Julie!

From memory this came out pretty close but took a bit of ageing.. give it about 4-6 weeks!

Also, add 20g cacsade to fermenter/Dry hop!

But poured a bottle after 4 or so weeks and it was quite the bidness!

That looks loke a SNPA clone to me!

I'd go big whacks of Chinook and Cascade for that resiny flavour.

SNPA and LCPA are very close in flavour. I believe after his visit to Aus for ANHC, Jamil Z described LCPA as SNPA only done a little bit better.

Little Creatures Pale Ale, it's his favourite

The poor thing h34r:

Sammys Recipe looks fairly close.

cheers

Correct me if i am wrong, but LCPA does not consist of only US cascade. I believe they use some tasmanian cascade in the mix ? And it seems to have a bit of yeast character as well, that is common in pale, rogers and bright ales.

 

[Katherine]

its definatly got goldings in it

 

[HoppingMad]

So they use Goldings as a bittering hop katie?

Nothing I can find has anything listed other than cascade & chinook. Assume those two are aroma/late hop then? With the less obvious Goldings in the background you reckon?

Wikipedia - Little Creatures

Love this beer - apologies to the naysayers, and would like to come closer on a clone too.

The website says "some tasmanian flowers" under the pale ale, where it never used too.

 

[Katherine]

Along side chinook.. yes

 

[HoppingMad]

Cheers guys. Slow server where I'm at so wasn't able to get on LC site - wonder what the tassie connection means.

From the LittleCreatures site:

"Bag loads of whole Chinook and Cascade hop flowers that we source from Washington and Oregon in the US as well as some local flowers from Tasmania are thrown at this beer, creating an intense citrus and grapefruit aroma and flavour that we balance with a careful selection of specialty malts and a local pale malt made to our own specifications."

 

[Fourstar]

Maybe its a locally grown goldings?!?! Either way it would be taking the back seat with cascade and chinook in there.

One of the brewers noted (possbily in one of the links above) that they currently use some Galaxy hops in the recipe.


Edit: Found the link. Current late hops are Tassie Cascade and Galaxy, as well as US Chinook and US Cascade.

There was a while there (late last year) where LCPA turned ordinary, probably due to overdoing the galaxy at one point. Lost its flowery quality and went too passionfruity - a bit raw. They must have tweaked it because its much better these days. I think Galaxy might be better suited to a supplementary role.
