Our interpretation of the classic Bavarian pale lager, a beer of subtle beauty and exquisite refreshing character. Kitten is built on a blend of our favorite pilsner malts, hopped with German Tettnang, and fermented with an authentic German lager yeast. The beer displays a careful balance of grassy malt flavors and a slight cereal sweetness; dry but medium bodied; floral hop notes and a trace of bready fermentaion character. It is simple yet intricate, and a respectful nod to one of the finest brewing traditions in the world.

Can with some code, but not a date, drunk 8/5/25.
Clear, bright, brass-golden with a fluffy, white head.
Nice snappy, bright nose with biscuity malts and light bread and honey accents. Deep, peppery hoppiness with light fresh herb. Clean.
Earth, plaster, mineral and such from yeast. Maybe a bit heavy in the earthy/musty department, but otherwise malty and attenuated with ample, but not overdone hopping.

Pours clear gold into a willi. Bright white head with good retention craters and recedes leaving spot lacing. Biscuit and bread aromas. Soft with sweet caramel and sourdough upfront turning to slight plastic before the dry, medium length melon finish.

Can from Tavour. Pours gold with a large creamy white head that become foamy. Aroma of noble grass/spice over crackery/bready malt. Med body or better. Flavor is crackery malt with a decent amount of grass/spice hop. Fairly dry. Even a little bit astringent. Good drink.
