White Rabbit Dark Ale

White Rabbit Dark Ale

Healesville, VIC

6pk - $21

This is a new brew from the guys at Little Creatures. As they are owned by Giant Steps/Innocent Bystander they decided to build a brewery in the heart of the Yarra and start brewing a dark ale, the result is White Rabbit.

The photo doesn't do the beer justice but it's not really dark, more a deep amber. It has a rich forest fruit nose with a slight hoppy herbal note. The palate is more of the above with a nice creamy end. The release notes say it's about half as much bitterness as Little Creatures Pale Ale but it doesn't show with the fruit palate dominating.

Do I like it?

Yes

Will I drink it a lot?

Probably not

While a good beer it's not really my style, but it's had quite a bit of hype (mostly due to the fact that they promised its release in early November and it wasn't released until December) and people want to try it. So get out there and try a few.
