Tom Cat
A session IPA built around Mosaic hops: zingy and tropical, with bold, fruity flavours and a hoppy edge from start to finish. Amarillo joins Mosaic in the hopping, and the malt is 100% Maris Otter barley. At 4.1% it is one of the two Fat Cat beers the Fat Cat pub lists as usually available.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Tom Cat
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.
Drink fresh. Session IPAs are brewed to be consumed young — the hops are at their best now.
