Western Australian brewery Gage Roads Brewing Company has brought back the highly awarded Little Dove New World Pale Ale, which was discontinued in 2022.
Originally launched in 2016, Little Dove was awarded Champion Australian Beer at the Australian International Beer Awards. Released nationally and moved into the Gage core range, Little Dove grew to become a favourite of beer lovers across the country.
Gage Roads brew chief, Aaron Heary, said that the creation of Little Dove was a collaborative process within the brew team that took several months.
“I remember us getting together to share beers, talk about what we loved to drink and setting out to create the best beer we possibly could. Those sessions led to Little Dove,” Heary said.
However, Little Dove was retired from the core range after seven years on the market, and hasn’t been available in a can or on tap since then.
“Sometimes you need to say goodbye to things you love. But that doesn’t mean they’re gone forever. We all love a comeback and Gage fans have been shouting for it, so we listened. We’re so proud to bring back this special brew as our winter limited release,” said Heary.
“I’ve never seen the brewery team so excited. To bring back Little Dove is something that the entire crew are pumped for, and we can’t wait to give beer fans a taste of nostalgia, one tin and pint at a time.”
Now available for a limited time only, Little Dove has been re-released for a limited time in a new 500ml tall boy can, and on tap in select venues in Western Australia and Queensland.
The recipe remains the same, with tropical aromas of guava and stone fruit, balanced by a sweet malt backbone and medium bitterness.
Gage Roads Brew Co Little Dove New World Pale Ale is available in select stores in Western Australia and Queensland for RRP $8.50 for a can, or $30 for a four pack.
