Originally developed during the Citra shortage of 2013, Cat Lady is the foil, the counterpart, and the yin to Roman Candle's yang. Brewed to showcase those classic "C" hops, this hoppy IPA celebrates citrus...and cats.

Bottle from the brewery. Pungent, catty aroma, winey, and acidic. Seems like sauvin was a main hop in this one. Nice balance between the hops and the cereals. The alcohol is well hidden, the beer is refreshing and deceivingly light. Nice ipa.

Can: Poured a hazy/cloudy yellow color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of juicy citrus hops notes with some hoppy floral undertones and light pineapple notes. Taste is also a mix of juicy citrusy hops notes with some hoppy floral undertones and pineapple notes with light residual sugar notes. Body is full with good carbonation. Enjoyable NEIPA with nice juicy hops.

473ml can. Pours a cloudy orange gold with a medium, foamy, long lasting, white head that laces nicely. Sweet fruity aroma of bready wheat malt, orange, peach, mango, pineapple, earthy yeast and floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of bready wheat malt, grapefruit, orange, pineapple, mango, earthy yeast and black pepper in a dry, bitter, pine resin finish. Medium body with an oily texture and soft carbonation. Juicy and tasty.

Tall can from brewery at Airbnb in Toronto. Pours opaque straw yellow. Aroma is juicy zesty lemon guava mango. Taste is similar. Tropical fruit with lemon. Smooth palate with fine carbonation and quite dry for a hazy IPA, which I like. Finish is tart and bitter. Another great one from Bellwoods.

Citrus hop nose with tropical fruit notes, mango sweetness. The mouthfeel is wet, but has a nice drying finish. Refreshing citrus taste with a tad spiciness in the end. Some zest, some twang. Hazed golden colour with a warm frothy cap that stays a while and leaves some foamy lacing traces.
