Cat Lady

◎ Appearance

Cat Lady presents a pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a modest white head that settles to a delicate lacing around the glass. The carbonation is brisk and well-integrated, giving the beer a lively presence without turbulence. The light color and fine head retention reflect the beer's approachable character.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with fresh cedar and resinous hop character, followed by distinctive notes of ripe strawberry and bright orange peel. Beneath these fruits lies a subtle herbal spice that grounds the overall impression. The aromatics are clean and inviting, suggesting a beer built around noble hop expression rather than heavy malt.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with bold grapefruit and crushed pineapple, both rendered with a dank, slightly savory character that keeps the fruit grounded. Mid-palate brings a building bitterness that is spicy and assertive without becoming harsh, while the body remains notably light and dry. The hop resin coats the palate cleanly, intensifying the citrus character throughout.

◑ Finish

The finish is distinctly dry and resinous, with lingering citrus and spice notes that encourage another sip. Bitterness persists on the aftertaste without overpowering, creating a balanced close that invites immediate return.

Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
