Fat Cat Bitter

◎ Aussehen

Pale golden hue with bright clarity and a fine, persistent white head. The carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, creating a delicate foam collar that clings to the glass with steady presence. The overall impression is one of classical English ale clarity — inviting and clean.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with straightforward malt character from locally grown Maris Otter — biscuit and bread crust notes dominate. Subtle earthy and herbal hop character emerges underneath, with a light floral quality. The overall aroma is restrained and balanced, typical of a well-crafted session bitter.

◐ Geschmack

The palate enters with clean, crisp malt sweetness and a gentle bready character that carries through the mid-palate. Moderate bitterness builds steadily, complemented by subtle caramel notes and earthy hop presence. The malt-forward profile remains the focus, with sufficient hop bitterness to provide structure without overwhelming the session-friendly body.

◑ Abgang

The finish is clean and relatively dry, with a lingering subtle bitterness that fades gracefully. A light caramel sweetness persists in the aftertaste, leaving the palate refreshed and ready for the next sip.
