About
Cat Asylum operates from what was once a plough workshop and is still one of the best preserved Georgian workshops that exist in Nottinghamshire. Parts of ploughs and repaired agricultural equipment lie around undisturbed as they have been since Walter Bealby ceased trading in the 1930s when the buildings were largely given over to a part time farm and full time cat sanctuary.

8th rating (so far) of the same bottle: 23rd June 2018, Cotteridge gathering. White crown on a hazy golden body, nose had a yeasty front with a mild citrus twist and a banana split aroma. Taste had some herbal/spicy flavours within the yeasty/fruity/semi-malty main players. Not a sour puss Saison, I almost liked it.

Had this at the Ratebeer Tasting and Cotteridge Gathering, Cotteridge Wines, Cotteridge, Birmingham, Saturday 23rd June 2018. Hazy, murky dirty gold with a white head. Starts off by being quite spicy also quite sweet, it's nice stuff, good carbonation ensures soft mouthfeel. Good beer to start with. A7 A4 T8 P4 Ov15 3.8
