Description

Commenced Brewing 2004 at Mimram Rd, Hertford as Red Squirrel Brewery. Moved in 2011 to Berkampstead Rd, Potton End after merging with a local Wine Producer. Rebranded to Mad Squirrel in February/March 2017 with some core range beers being renamed and others simply changing name from Red to Mad.

A Forward thinking, contemporary brewery based just outside of London, at the foot of the Chiltern Hills. We have continually grown and evolved, often in unexpected ways. Always with a boundless enthusiasm for quality, an inquisitive approach to flavour and a restless desire to better ourselves.

Tap at the mad Squirrel tap watford. A clear pale yellow straw coloured pour with a small fine white head. Aroma is subdued, freshly cut nettle, some stone fruit, green grains, some midget gems. Flavour is composed of crisp light grains, some drying nz hop vibes, grassy, flint, dried citrus. Palate is super crisp, drying finish, highish carbonation. Ok, but a bit subdued.

Cask at mad Squirrel watford. A mostly clear pale gold coloured pour with a lasting uniform white head. Aroma is artificial peach melba, apricot jam, fruit culle, jammy stone fruits. Flavour is composed of semi sweet, rounded pale grains, jammy apricot, peach melba, soft squishy fruits, low bitterness with a hint of grass. Palate is semi sweet, soft and rounded, decent cask condition. Not bad. Bit too much obvious adjunct.

Isle Of Wight Holiday Beer#78. Very mildly hazed golden as the fifth beer in Yarmouth's pub collaboration weekend festival. Hoppy subduing tropical fruit notes, but they're strong enough to enjoy in both aroma and taste on the sweeter side of the scale. Nothing too devilish here, just a good ale.

Isle Of Wight Holiday Beer#77. Fourth beer of the local pub collaboration beer festival this weekend in Yarmouth. Sweet nose with tropical notes the cause, a lot more bland in what is a session taste with evidence of hops and fruits.
