COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Danish: Fra Castros Havanna til 3F’s hovedkvarter har de røde Fat Cats melet deres egen kage. Til kage går det bedst med maltet og ikke for bitter øl med en frugtig aroma.
Da Fat Cat skulle brygges ledte jeg efter en karakteristisk humle, der kunne spille op imod den karamelagtige maltprofil og da Nelson Sauvin var en af de eneste humletyper på det tidspunkt der kunne fås frisk fra 2008 høsten var valget ikke svært efter jeg i 2006 på Helsinki Beerfestival havde smagt en øl humlet 100% med denne humle. Malten der er brugt er en blanding af britisk Maris Otter og tysk münchenermalt sammen med karamelmalt, afskallet chokolademalt og rå byg fra Sjællands fede muld.
At Fat Cat samtidig holder beherskede 4,7% alkohol gør at man med fordel kan nyde et par pints uden at gå helt kold.

henrikb (1258) - Aarhus, DENMARK - MAY 1, 2009
Bottle - Beautiful clear red body with some sparkle and a fine beige head; Very hoppy nose that is way to dense, I dont have huge experience wit hNS but it seems it should be used in moderate amounts to truly show its qualities; The body is very nice with depth and complexity, it does again have the same to dense hop problem; Long finish with lots of hop aromas, the drying of the hop resins give the finish a pleasant thin touch. Good beer with to much hop being used at least when the hop is NS.

TBone (9413) - Pori, FINLAND - APR 18, 2009
Bottled (Konttori, BB 09/2009). Clear amber color, good steady beige head. Strong grassy/hayish and fruity (kiwi) hoppy aroma - quite characteristic to Nelson Sauvi hops. Crisp, fruity hoppy flavor. Mouthfeel dries in the aftertaste. Some fresh wood, grapefruit also. Aftertaste is almost peppery. Tasty 4.7% beer from the trend hop Nelson Sauvi.

Plovmand (4929) - Helsinge, DENMARK - APR 13, 2009
Bottle. Reddish amber body with a steady off white head. Frutiy as well as hoppy aroma. Passion fruit and peach is present. Exotic fruit in flavour. Again passion fruit is dominating. I catch grapefruit too. Unfortunately I also get some burned rubber which annoys the overall picture. I tasted this with hallinghansen and he didnt get that taste at all so I guess its just me. Medium bodied. If not for the rubber thing this would be a great session beer.

UPDATED: AUG 2, 2010 Slightly hazy amber with a lasting white head. Juicy hoppy aroma with pine and apricot notes. Sweet and hoppy flavour, with a good bitterness, and excellent hoppy finish. Outstanding session beer.
