2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Cask (gravity dispense) at Catford Beer Festival, June 2006. Attractive pale copper colour. Didn’t pick up much in the way of honey. The aroma had a biscuity wheat/malt feel but the palate switched over to a more hoppy profile. Ended up quite sharp and slightly astringent. It tasted better swigged than sipped.

A mid amber orange coloured beer with a thickish white head. a hoppy nose, floral and citrusy with a touch of honey. the taste is dry, hoppy, floral and grapefruit citrus flavours, then the honey element comes through in the end, although the finish is quite dry. (Cask - The Fat Cat, Norwich, Norfolk).

3 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 18/20
Catford Beer Fest. Fat Cat appears to be the new name for Norfolk Cottage after a relocation. This is a decent beer - clean tasting, mostly bitter with mild hops - like a more flavoursome lager. Refreshing, with some English hops lingering in the finish.
