Cat Lady is an IPA that was created in response to Roman Candle -- a foil or counterpart to showcase another side of hoppy -- but has developed into its own, autonomous self. The malt bill and resulting colour are relatively light, the bitterness is on the higher end of our hoppy spectrum, the body is dry, and the spotlight on Columbus imparts dank, slightly savoury notes.
What it smells and tastes like: Aromatics of cedar, fresh strawberries and orange peel. Loads of bold grapefruit and crushed pineapple lead into a spicy, resinous finish.

Don't get a strong cat pee vibe but definitely a little on aftertaste. Like the cat hpuse next to my great grandma's place but from two blocks away. Golden pour with good head and lacing. Light tang on end. Bottle from brewery.

From my wife from the brewery: pours moderately hazy with a large white head. Aroma is powerful grapefruit, lime and other citrus. Taste is pretty bitter. Very citrusy. Body relatively light. Not a sweetie. Smooth but with a lingering bitter aftertaste.
