I am a fool for Refined Fool brews. Love their Party Sharks IPA, delicious. And I had a good to great streak going, even a sour super suds, so would this session hazy IPA end up in my good graces too? When you are always trying new beers it is a bit like Russian roulette, and this time around there was one in the chamber called Catstronaut.
What the hell kind of name is Catstronaut anyway? It sounds like a cruelty to animals case or a short form for castrated astronaut which would make you a bit lighter in space, but I doubt that is what they had in mind when they named it. Maybe they should have named it Félicette.*
This brew pours a hazy golden. It has a light fruit aroma with some malt in the mix I think, something odd, and no hops in the aroma. Not much flavour or hops, just a bit of fizz and a touch of bitter and an off after taste. Nothing seems to be working with this brew, I gave it some time to recuperate but it was not to be. Both the taste and aftertaste aren’t very nice. Let’s break it down, no flavour no zip no zing, a bit of fizz and an odd and unappealing taste and aftertaste.
Time for a new name, how about Catastronaut, or Disastronaut or All For Naught. Maybe Castrated Astronaut wasn’t such a bad name after all.
