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.

Draught @ Globen, Cph. Reddish orange coluored. Unclear. Huge dense beige head. Flowery and sweet aroma. Has some berries and fruits in the profile as well. Flavour very flowery and herbal. Again berries notable. Has a quite grapish touch. Medium bodied. ens on a sweetish light bitterness. Very drinkable.

50cl bottle, local store. Pours amber color with a frothy, huge longlasting white head. Aroma is tropical fruity and slightly hoppy. Lovely fruity flavor, hoppy and ending bitter. Texture is little oily. Very drinkable. Enjoyed this one alot.

Bottled. Huge, nicely remaining head. Impressive hops, white pepper, wild strawberry, a lot of mango, quince and pear in the nose. Surprisingly light bodied. Strange. Dry unsignificant short finish.

courtesy of Laurent Mousson - hazy dark reddish-amber colour with a huge and persistent beige foam; nice lace; aroma of dried red fruits with some notes of solvant and grilled almonds; overcarbonated and very tart, astringent palate; fizzy and elusive bitter and fruity finish - quite aggressive

Hazy brownish beer with a really longlasting head that leaves quite a lot of lace. The aroma is filled with intense grapefruity hops, berries and fruits and a little resin. The taste has some citrus, nuts and a little hops.

Serving date: 2009-03-14. The color of this one reminds me of the color of apricot pulp - mostly brown but with orange and reddish hues. Rather cloudy liquid. The 2 cm head is slightly off-white and a bit creamy. AVery fresh and pleasant smell, almost smells like exotic fruit juice. Plenty of galia melon, pineapple juice, grapefruit. The hop aromas clearly dominates, but I also think the malts get a decent chance to show off. The taste is not as impressive as the smell. Again, the hop dominate, but the fruity aromas (grapefruit, melon, pineapple) are not as stringent and sharply defined. More floral hop notes than in the smell. The malts have a bread-like character and provides a nice foundation. Just a fain hint of toffee. The finish has a prominent, yet restrained bitterness to it. High levels of hop aromas usually indicates comparatively high levels of hop bitterness as well, but this is not the case here, and I find it very interesting since it elevates the exotic fruit juice character of the beer. Very pleasant. Medium body, moderate carbonation. Feels good and the mouthfeel suits the overall character well. A good beer. Considering the low ABV, this one packs a rather big amount of flavors. The smell is really good but unfortunately the taste could use some fine-tuning. I really liked the combination of big hop flavors and comparatively low hop bitterness. An interesting beer from a new and equally interesting brewery. Serving type: bottle (Copy of old Beer Advocate review)

At the Ølfestival, Esbjerg, Denmark 22-10-09. Pours mid amber with a white filmy head. Some grapefruit and tropical fruit aromas on the nose. Soft in the mouth with a lovely light carbonation, hops have a nettley sting to them, leaving a little numbness on the tongue, lovely stuff. A6 A3 F8 P4 Ov14 3.5

Bottle from Tbone, thanks! Amber color. Lovely grapefruit, melon and red berries aroma. Thin, but a firm hopbitter flavor with melon, red berries, pineapple, lemon and a hint of vanilla. So much flavor, so little alcohol...
