Living In Our Own Private Idaho
Fat Orange Cat Brew Co.

A thanks to the almighty woodychandler for this beer. Poured from a 16 oz. can. Has a cloudy golden/orange color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is of mixed fruits. Taste is tangerines, pineapple, melons, moderate bitterness. Feels medium/full bodied in the mouth and overall is a solid beer.

 

Look: Cloudy yellow hue with a white head of dense foam that laces the glass well.
Aroma: Tangerine rinds, sweet orange marmalade and caramel candy. Some peppery, pine sap and hop oil.
Taste: Sugarcookies and biscuits in the foreground balanced out against predominant flavors of sweet blueberries, transitions into tropical fruit like tangerines, pineapples and oranges. Spicy hop bitterness is mild, but still dominant throughout the tasting experience.
Feel: Medium bodied, moderate carbonation. Mouthfeel is a little too viscous for my liking, it's bordering on syrupy.
Overall: I really like fat orange cat's take on NEIPAs, this beer is no exception although I feel the mouthfeel is slightly too heavy.

 

Appearance: Pours a cloudy honey color with a two finger head; excellent retention and a splattering

Smell: Pineapple, tangerine and grapefruit; resinous

Taste: Tropical papaya and pineapple tones forward with a citrusy blend of tangerine and grapefruit emerging; a hint of sweet cookie malt peaks through, underneath; the bitterness builds, into the finish with a resinous tone verging on aspirin

Mouthfeel: Medium body with moderate carbonation

Overall: I am not a fan of aspirin flavors in the finish but otherwise this NE IPA has a lot to commend itself

 

Poured from a can into a pint glass, shows a nice light hazy orange color with a fair amount of clarity still, and is accompanied by a big white foamy head that really lingers. Aroma is also quite nice, grapefruit front and center as well as citrus and notes of other tropical fruits. Taste reflects a lot of the same fruitiness, but is incredibly smooth while maintaining the bitterness thats essential to the style. Really, really good; probably one of my favorite NEIPAs I've had.
