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.

GBBF Day 1. Cask. Almost clear gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, semi dry, modest fine carbonation. Light clean malts provide a nice mild sweetness. Good hops - tangerine led citrus and mild pine pine. Whisper of hop skunk and a touch of tropical fruits. Light mildly crisp finish. Light, fresh, bright and crisp and thus head and shoulders above 95% of the UK cask offerings at the fest.

Half pour (cask) at Post Office Vaults. Medium golden with small airy head. Slick and smooth. Fruity aroma, citrus peel, floral. Taste refle ts this odd mixture too, comes off as soapy, but oddly pleasant. Mild hops with strong character.
