Pew pew pew. Another beverage I took with me on my vacation over the Holiday weekend.
Beer Name: Laser Kitten
Brewery: Medusa Brewing Company (Hudson, MA)
Style: Session IPA
ABV: 4.5%
Description: Announced as an American-style session IPA brewed with Citra and Mosaic hops to give it a “citrusy, fruity punch.” And then there’s this promo:
Appearance: Poured a cloudy straw colored body that sat below a fluffy white head.
Smell: A slightly sweet blend of grapefruit, lemon rind, and piney hops.
Taste: It started out out with moderate notes of grapefruit and citrus rind, followed by light bitterness. The finish brought out a crackery light malt base and brought the beer to clean, crisp finish accentuated by piney hops.
Mouthfeel: Light to medium bodies with a carbonation level just a touch below moderate.
Hype: I don’t really know any hype surrounding this particular beer, but its big brother, Laser Cat, always seems to generate a good deal of excitement.
Overall: Light and refreshing with a nice clean hoppy finish, this was everything a session IPA should be. Very nice beer indeed.
