Space Cat

Tap to rate

Mango, passion fruit, berries, citrus and stone fruit meet a fine, lightly resinous hop note in Space Cat, with the bitterness kept in the background. Mosaic BBC is the hop at the center, double dry-hopped to push its fruit forward, and barley, wheat and oat malt give this 6.6% ABV hazy IPA a soft, creamy body.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Space Cat

◎ Appearance

Space Cat presents a pale, luminous golden hue with a distinctly hazy, opaque character that scatters light throughout the glass. The dense, white head rises confidently and clings to the glass walls with fine, delicate lacing. Vigorous carbonation creates a lively bead that sustains well from pour to finish.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by layered tropical fruit notes—ripe mango and passion fruit leap forward, supported by warm berry undertones and bright citrus. A subtle stone fruit character adds depth, while a delicate, lightly resinous hop presence frames the bouquet without overwhelming it. The malt base contributes a soft, grainy sweetness that grounds the aromatic profile.

◐ Taste

The entry is creamy and full-bodied, with the soft malt foundation—barley, wheat, and oat—providing a silky mouthfeel that carries the beer forward. Tropical and citrus fruit flavors bloom across the mid-palate with juicy intensity, while a faint resinous quality adds textural interest. The bitterness remains subdued at 50 IBU, playing a supporting role that complements rather than dominates the fruit-forward character.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately dry, with lingering notes of mango and citrus that fade gracefully. A refreshing, smooth aftertaste invites another sip without any harsh hop residue or astringency.

Tulip glass

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