Beer Kitty, Kitty....
Lucky Kat purrs as he pours with a grin on his mangy face and a grin in his searching eye. He sits on the fence he calls home, dividing up from down. Is he an imperial beast or a pale soul from the east? Only he knows and we know only this: if you reach out to pet him he'll bite back with a big, hoppy kiss.
Dry-hopped with Amarillo and Crystal.

[1] Review by eaglefan538 from DE, USA who has tried this beer once. (12/13/2008 3:03:16 PM)
"Bottle from SL. Pour was amber colored, very generous white head, great retention, great lacing, appearance was right up there! The aroma was citrus hops, caramel malts, biscuits, floral perfume notes. The flavor was citrus, caramel, biscuits, resinous piney notes, salt, and finishing with a decent bittering hop showing, coming off quite much like an English Style IPA, pretty bitter even. Mouthfeel wasn't full and hearty, but it was average to light-average. I've been on a MH slide with many beers lately, but this worked for me. Y'all afraid of giving MH some props?"

[2] Review by bluesandbarbq from Oak Ridge, Tennessee, USA who has tried this beer a couple times. (10/16/2008 8:05:24 AM)
"Pours an almost clear amber with a thinning head and nice lacing. Good carbonation. Aromas of slight grapefruit, citrus and pine hops with a dose of malts. Taste is almost more of an APA with the hops not overwhelming but present with a slightly sweet maltiness. Would be a good session beer."

[3] Review by bigred00 from buffalo, NY, USA who has tried this beer a couple times. (9/4/2008 11:41:48 AM)
"Presentation: It was poured from a brown 12oz. bottle into a pint glass.
Appearance: It has a deep amber or copper color with very good clarity. The head builds up tall and fluffy. Its head is just off white in color and leaves cool rings of lacing on the glass.
Smell: There is a big fruity hop aroma with some hints of citrus and pine.
Taste/Mouth feel: It starts with a doughy, sort of earthy malt with some mild sweetness and light caramel notes. Hop flavor slowly takes over with fruity, citrus and mild pine notes. Its hop flavor is very big and juicy yet bitterness is more modest making it very easy and fun to drink. The finish is semi-dry with a nice bitter fade. Its medium bodied with average carbonation and a slick easy drinking texture.
Notes: Wonderful flavor with judicious hoping and balance.

[5] Review by Phishpond417 from Madtown, Wisc, USA who has tried this beer once. (5/28/2008 10:56:54 PM)
"Brought back from out east by my boss, thanks John :)
This brew pours a hazey orange colour with a full, thick, creamy, off white head. Aroma is of grapefruit, lime and soft pine. Head is ridiculously attractive to look at. Mouthfeel is creamy but light. Taste is pleasent, firm astringent hop character initially, slight toffee and burnt toast midpalate. Hops are soft and well integrated. Finishes clean and refreshing. "
