Garage Project is letting the feline out of the bag with Fat Cat, a hefty Oat Cream Double IPA that is every bit as plush and luxurious as the name suggests. This beer is a masterclass in texture, utilizing a massive addition of oats and a touch of lactose to create a mouthfeel that is incredibly silky, dense, and soft. It pours a deep, glowing hazy gold, releasing an aromatic cloud of overripe mango, sweet pineapple, and zesty citrus oils. On the palate, the high ABV is dangerously well-hidden beneath layers of creamy tropical fruit and a hint of vanilla-like sweetness. Despite its decadent, full-bodied nature, a clever hop bitterness lingers on the finish to keep everything in balance. It’s a big, bold, and unapologetically hedonistic DIPA that proves the Wellington crew still knows exactly how to push the boundaries of hop saturation.
