36 Pint box thing, Guy’s wedding reception, Swainsthorpe, Norfolk. Oowee, completely lost track of how many I had of this once I was into double figures, but if my memory serves me well enough this kicked ass. Really nice fragrantly fruity hoppy flavour. A bit on the chewy side doc, but that’s all good man. Was having a blast in the teepee getting mega loose on the dance floor and having a right royal knees up with the people I love. Bliss. Top Cat! The most effectual Top Cat! Who’s intellectual close friends get to call him T.C. Providing it’s with dignity. Top Cat! The indisputable leader of the gang. He’s the boss, he’s a pip, he’s the championship. He’s the most tip top, Top Cat. Yes he’s a chief, he’s a king, But above everything, He’s the most tip top, Top Cat. Top Cat!

Cask at Paisley Beer Festival 2008 ... amber ... very hoppy nose ... light fresh and clean ... bright and hoppy.

Cask at paisley beer fest. Alround rating: Pale malts, grassy peppery hints, alc seems present? The least favourable of the fat cat offerings, but still decent.

Cask - Fat Cat, Norwich. Amber in colour with a small, light off-white head. Quite a straightforward and delicate hoppy nose. Its flavours are quite floral and also grassy. A touch thicker on the palate than many of its style that I’ve had recently on cask too. A rather expectable bitter.

Cask (gravity dispense) at Reading Beer Festival, April 2006. A decent enough, if quite straightforward, strongish bitter. Tangy, slightly citric, hops and chewy, but dry, malt in the mix. Amber colour.
