Fire Cat Habanero IPA
Big Axe Brewing Co.

12 oz undated can poured into a bulbous glass shows a clear pastel yellow body with a 1/4" cap of thin mixed bubbles that recede to ghostly islands, sans lacing.

Aroma is appropriately fruity. Grapefruit and melon. Deceiving, though as there is no habanero.

There it is!! Whoa! The pepper taste is front and center. It is strong, yet doesn't overpower the hop bitterness or fruitiness of the base IPA.

Mouthfeel is clean, clear, if slightly slick, and clears the palate cleanly.

Overall a really nice pepper treatment.

12 oz can filled 6/20/25 into a tulip glass.
L: SRM 4 pours 95% clear caramel color with a soapy 1.5" white frothy head, light carbo, head goes loose down to edge foam, loose medium-light random lacing.
S: Caramelized malts, earthy grains, not much aroma.
T: Curiously green tasting with no pepper meat taste but plenty of heat, hard pear, hard green melon rind, grapefruit zest, unripe fruits skin. It is a bit bitter and pale.
F: Plush, soft, smooth medium bodied feel with a slow pepper burn that has a very long linger. It has a lightly dry medium-long finish.
O: This is a very spicy hot beer. Lots of tingle on the lips and it makes my head sweat. The beer has pale straight-line bitterness with a slightly muted fruity flavor that lingers a bit. It is very good in its style.
