Gravity poured half-pint at the 23rd Codsall Station beer festival on 3rd May 2019 (as Mad Hare). Slight haze to the copper body, white crown on top. Piney hop nose, the taste also hop forward with a trace of heat from ginger. Decent.

As Downton Chimera Mad Hare at Charlie’s Bar, Copenhagen. A slightly hazy dark amber beer with a medium tan head. The aroma is sweet and very malty with notes of caramel and fruits, especially peaches and citrus. The flavor is a bit light but very complex with notes of malt, caramel, and nuts as well as light notes of fruit, leading to a dry bitter and nutty finish.

[i] [b] Cask, gravity at the Kings Arms Beer Festival, Kidlington, Oxon 28-03-08 [/i] [/b] This pours with a thin film of white head, dark amber in colour. Thin, watery, bit heavy on the caramel, this is ok and gets better but it is still lacking a little in my opinion.

From cask at Charlies. Pours clear and golden amber with bubbly off-white head. Light fruity aroma of hops. Flavour is fruity too, with a growing bitterness into the finish. Light citrusy and apple fruity notes. Nice fruity lingering finish.
