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.

A hazy yellow beer with a white head. The aroma has notes of lemons, hops, and straw. The flavor is sweet with notes of hops, malt, and citrus fruits, leading to a bitter finish.

Thanks, Pilot Goran from flying this all the way from South Africa. Shared with him and Višnja 666. Clear to hazy golden, small off-white head. Very light hops, shy, no great aromas, lightly buttery. Light bitter, slightly off. Light body, moderate carbonation, abrupt finish. Not good (any more).

Draft at Green Craft. Clear deep golden color, white ice cream cone head. Light caramel aroma. Taste has black pepper and toasted caramel. Nicely hopped amber with a better body than most, very tasty.

Flaske fra håndimportør Ovesens lager, og delt med han på Holmens aktivitetsdag april-15: uklar kobbergylden med meget flott skum. Syrligsøt aroma med sommerblomster og bærbusker. Deilig, fruktig smak med tropiske frukter og en knivsodd honning. Ettersmaken er lang og lekkert balansert. Perfekt karbonering gir fin munnfylde og stor drikkeglede selv med såpass lavt turtall.

Bottle shared with JMD at HNB 25.04.15. Hazy golden. Bright, white head and lacing. Inviting aroma of fresh tropical fruits and citrus. Similarly refreshing taste, with decent bitterness. Long aftertaste. Very quaffable.
