Everyone told Kung Fu Kitten that kittens couldn't do kung fu. They said that the karate chop was only for cats, and not kittens. They said he was too young. Too cute. Too cuddly. They said get your heads out of the clouds - you've got to lay off the cat-nip. Well, they were wrong. Oh, boy were they wrong. When Lil Citra stepped onto the Epic Battlefield he wasn't just battling Unicorns, The Ninjas, The Lizard King...he was battling his past.

Hatalmas, tartós hab, félbarna szín. Citrusos, déligyümölcsös, gyantás illat. Déligyümölcsös, grapefruitos, mandarinos ízvilág, markáns fenyős aromával. Közepesen testes, közepesen szénsavas, erősen keserű. Jó egyensúllyal és arányokkal rendelkező sör.

Shared @ RBBWG 2017. Many thanks! Hazy amber colour, very hoppy nose. Notes of lemon, but also sweet. Grassy and dry. Nice and easy drinkable.

Can share at RBBWG 2017, thanks for sharing. Orange, col blanc. Arôme au nez fruité full citra, rétro de grains qui reste cependant bien dominant mais laissant ample place au bouquet des houblons. Palais est finement malté, pils avec une touche de caramel, houblonné fleuri avec une amertume persistante, citronné, ananas et agrumes le tout sur un pétillant tenace.

Good yellow head, thick, over hazy orange-golden beer, lace. Citra, catty hops/valerian, quite intense. Citra, catty, resin, human sweat, pink fruit. Light body, good carbonation and quite slick. Very good, excellent "quaffing" (sorry!) craft beer.
