Little Beast Brewing Releases Little Beast Lager and Sylvestris Fruited Gose
Little Beast Brewing has just released its new Little Beast Lager and will release Sylvestris Fruited Gose next week. Both beers will be packaged in 16oz 4-pack cans and will be available through limited distribution throughout Oregon, Washington, and California along with home delivery in Portland.
Here are descriptions on each of the two new beer releases from Little Beast Brewing…
Little Beast Lager
Little Beast Lager is the brewery’s newest seasonal release. At 4.8% ABV, the beer is designed to be incredibly easy drinking with a light malt profile that finishes crisp and clean. The lager is fermented with Augustiner yeast and is brewed with 100% German heritage and German grown hops and malt. Hopped with Hallertauer Mittelfrüh and Perle hops on the hot side, the lager is then lightly dry hopped with Mandarina Bavaria for a soft boost of citrus, spice, and berry flavor.
Sylvestris Fruited Gose
Sylvestris is a Fruited Gose beer that releases on Wednesday, April 8 to stores and for at-home delivery. To make Sylvestris, Head Brewer Charles Porter transfers a beer fermented with lactobacillus directly onto second-use whole Pinot Noir cluster grapes where it picks up a light rosé color before being blended into another fermenting wort. In addition to the coloration, the fruit gives the beer grape, green peppercorn, and black peppercorn flavors. Coriander and salt are added in true Gose style.
Little Beast Lager is available now at a premium price of $16 per 4-pack of 16oz cans. Then beginning on Wednesday, April 8th, Sylvestris Fruited Gose will be available in a limited run of 250 cased priced at $20 per 4-pack of 16oz cans.
