A Low on ABV pale ale, huge on Hops. Packed with more Citra and Cascade than ever before. HopKitty is bursting with intense tropical and citrus flavours. Lighty toasted malts give a hint of sweetness before a second round of hops, big Mango and Lychee zest courtesy of a generous Citra third round of dry hopping. Just like every crazy cat person, you won't be stopping with one.

500ml bottle from Lapworth Wines. Clear gold, small white head. Aroma of Citra hops comes through strong being citrusy, earthy and floral, background of biscuit malt. Its light yet oddly cloying, biscuity, citrus some zest. Moderate dry bitter finish. A bit twiggy. Its ok. Reading the below reviews it sounds like this is far superior on cask.

Cask at the Cross Keys, Thame. Poured a very slightly hazy golden colour with a mostly lasting frothy white head. The aroma is grainy malt, gluey yeast. The flavour is moderate bitter, light sweet, with a smooth, malt, lemon citrus, big woody hop bitter palate and a long bitter finish. Medium to light bodied with soft carbonation.

[Cask at the Bell, Waltham St Lawrence. ] A bright pale amber pour with a loose white head; grapefruit aroma; lightly bodied with a strong grapefruit taste underlaid with bready malts; then some earthy spice towards the end that rounds things off very nicely. Very good indeed.

Pours a clear golden colour with a small lasting near white head. Aroma is citrus and light malt, tangerine and oranges. A light sweet malt base with pithy bitter citrus flavours, light dry citrus bitter finish. Refreshing and easy to drink.

Cask at the Cambridge Blue, Cambridge on 26th June 2019 amber with shallow foam and scant lacing. Rich and intense citrus hoppiness in aroma and liquid pass with a nutty savoury note. Exquisite hoppy finish. Medium bodied with a zingy mouthfeel. Superb!

1/2/2019. Cask at the XT Brewing tap takeover at the New Inn, Colchester. Pours golden with a small just off-white head. Aroma of hops, citrus, light tropical fruit, light biscuit and a hint of pine. Medium sweetness and bitterness. Moderate body, slight oily texture, soft carbonation. Easy drinking and pretty decent.
