On the bottle:
In the age old tradition of brewing Barley Wines, we brew two big mashes and take only the first runnings to make Critical Hit. We then sparge the grains to make a second beer (historically referred to as a Small Beer) to create the Little One. This beer is a drinkable 5.7% alcohol that has much of the rich malt flavor of its bigger relative but not the bite. Little One is mildly bittered with 100% German Haulertauer hops and is also dry hopped to maximize the lovely aroma.
Tasting Notes:
The Little One is copper hued with hints of caramel, piquant fruit, and a elegant hit of grassy, slightly earthy hop flavor and aroma. This beer is a great balance to the powerfully flavored beers of the Winter.
Food Pairings:
Charcuterie, Poultry, Brie, Fruit, Molasses Cookies
