Commercial Description:
Hurricane Kitty is a coppery and heavily hopped India Pale Ale. Named after brewmaster Keegan’s grandmother who’s driving earned her quite a reputation racing her six children to and from a local Long Island beach ferry during the 1960’s, Hurricane Kitty is the undisputed family favorite. We try to make the hop bill read as aggressively as her driving record.

Pours a hazy dark copper color, with a large beige head that eventually disipates. Nice sweet caramel in the nose, along with elements of bread and earthy hops. Medium bodied and creamy. Caramel malt flavorings quickly give in to earthy hops. Easy drinking and quite good.

12 ounce bottle in pint glass. Hazy copper with lasting head and some lace. Mild hop and toasted caramel aroma. Medium toasted caramel apple with medium bitter bite and fairly clean finish. Medium body and carbo. Ok.

This is a pretty unique IPA. The appearance is indeed copper, with an off white head, and noticeable particulate matter. The aroma is very slight, a piney sort of hop scent. The flavor is as least as malty as hoppy. It has notes of caramel, citrus. The palate has a faint yet pleasing hop bitterness. There is also a wierd and inexplicable metallic taste to this beer. Not bad, easy to drink, but not remarkable.

draft @ brewery - a very strange IPA; dark amber and malty; hops are very muted; some sweet caramel in there; dry finish; might be the least hoppy IPA i’ve ever had

@Ginger Man-on tap-pours a rich off white head and gold/amber color. Aroma is sweet citrus hops-some bitterness, secondary medium malt. Taste is sweet citrus hops-some bitterness, secondary medium malt. Nice. Mild carbonation.

Not a big fan of this brew... Looks ok, but has loads of sediment... Nothing offensive about the odor but there’s not much of one. Extremely bitter taste and I’m not sure its from the hops... Down the drain with this one...
