The Cat Who Stole Christmas
Fat Orange Cat Brew Co.

 

Pours a weird green color with very little head. Slightly pungent on the nose. Pleasantly the taste was not as most sours. This was lime and maybe kiwi flavors with mild sourness.

 

It's not easy being green, but Fat Orange Cat makes it look kinda easy. In full and sour celebration of the holidays, these cats are anything but green with envy.

But their grinchy beer certainly is, pouring a nearly radioactive green while popping with a partly fizzy froth and teasing the nose immediately with citrus, tropical, cidery and winey scents. As its sweetness takes on the character of cereal, simple syrups and sourdough, a candied upstart comes quickly. Followed by pineapple, kiwi and lime, the flavors follow a tropical path. All draped in a cocoon of guava juiciness, the late taste carries that lime, green apple and wine cooler character into a short aftertaste.

Medium bodied but fuller for sour ale, the smoothie sour is a tropical vacation for the tastebuds- a far cry from the Christmas spirit around here.
