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.

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...

BOTTLE. Not sure what to make of this one. Not what I was anticipating from the label description or the IPA classification. Pours a pretty copper color with good head. Piney hops predominate, but not IPA-like overall - and doesn’t make a lasting impression. Maybe the label oversell contributed to my disappointment.BUY AGAIN: probably not

12oz thanks beastiefan2k - Aroma is caramel malt and floral hops. Pours copper with a big head and good lacing. Flavor is a sweeter version of the aroma. The sweetness eliminates any hop bitterness. Palate is smooth and thin. A bit bland for an "ipa" but drinkable.
