To celebrate Mad Squirrel’s return to Hertford, we teamed up with Hertford Brew Club to create Crimson Hart. This bold Red IPA showcases resinous pine bitterness layered with vibrant tropical fruit and bright citrus, all balanced by a rich ruby malt backbone for a delicious, modern hop-forward pint.

Keg at Mad Squirrel High Wycombe, 27/02/2026.
Reddish amber topped with an off white cap.
Nose is orange zest, grass, toasted malts, hint of caramel popcorn.
Taste comprises orange peel, hint of grapefruit, pine nibble, citric tinged straw.
Medium bodied, light prickly carbonation, semi drying close spattered with mellow earthy hop bitterness.
Not bad.

Tap at mad Squirrel watford. A clear amber orange coloured pour with a loose off white head. Aroma is nice jammy berries, pine, twig, nutty malts, raspberry, grass. Flavour is composed of light grains, nutty, rye bread, chalky finish, piney hop, American c hop, crisp finish. Palate is light, little thin, chalk, fine spritzy carbonation. Could do with some more resin, body for an ipa.
