Award winning Mad Goose is a zesty pale ale with a refreshing citrus finish, inspired by our own fearsome feathered friend. Her hiss was far worse than her bite except around mating season when it was best to stay inside for another well earnt beer.

Old rating - From the cask at Biere Atelier, St Helier, Jersey. Pours pale amber with a white foamy head. Aromas & tastes of pine. Good level of hops, touches of lemon in the medium bitter finish. Decent.

Another beer I’m surprised I haven’t rated before – but then again maybe not because I’m not that keen on purity beers. Anyway, cask at Moon under Water, Wolverhampton. Pours golden yellow with a small foamy off-white head. Not much of an aroma – just hints of floral hops and marmalade. In the mouth it is juicy and slightly bitter with floral hops and hints of citrus. Later some herbal hints too,. Bitterness lasts into the slightly dry finish. It’s reasonable – but not particularly memorable.
