Description
Mad Giant was born from the desire to conquer the world, to make a difference and to take chances with now fear of the outcome. We started in 2014 like most businesses do, in a garage. Luckily we grew out of the garage and into our brewery which is situated in the heart of Johannesburg at 1 Fox Street, Ferreirasdorp. This has been home since August 2016. The pursuit has always been to brew the most delicious beer and this obsession remains strong. Innovation is at the heart of Mad Giant and the learning curve has been a steep one.

(Bottle, 0.33 l - batch 18/002 - BB 25.09.2019, thanks brunnsbe, 20190602) The beer poured golden and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had grass and sweetness. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were grass, sweetness, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was sweet and bitter. A quite boring thin brew.
