Cask - Fat Cat, Norwich. Poured amber with a creamy, lasting & lacing off-white head. Some almond with caramel and toasty malts, a bit of mid fruit and finally developing a light sulphurous tone. Quite nutty and toasty up front with some mid fruit sweetness, finishing with an OK dry grassy bitterness. Medium body, softish palate texture and a medium length finish.

UPDATED: APR 21, 2009 Cask handpull, The Fat Cat, Norwich. Iced tea amber creamy with condition. Lacy as granny’s doilies. Lemony stewed Darjeeeing aroma fresh with hop. Passion fruit, grapefruit and intense tea leafiness sweetening into vanilla iced cream and crushed malted milk biscuit afters. Very dry and very sweet. Absolutely stuffed to the whiskers with flavour at 3.8%. Beautiful.

(Half pint at Fat Cat Norwich) Small head with golden colour. Aroma of malts and hops. Standard premium bitter taste, malty sweetness blended well with hoppy bitterness, and a wee bit of citrus. Well rounded. Not bad at all, better than the average session beer, but very quaffable.

36 Pint box thing, Guy’s wedding reception, Swainsthorpe, Norfolk.
It was all about the top cat really on this day, but this was definitely not without some merit. Healthy dose of citrus and hop made this well balanced and totally drinkable. Worth another look.
