Description
Mad Hatter Brewing Company was set up by Gaz and Sue in 2013, with just one grand in their back pockets, and a glorified home brew set up. The brewery has always punched above its weight, and was championed from the start by the brilliant Port St Beer House. They produce weird and wonderful beers alongside some classic pale ales, stouts and IPAs.

0.33l bottle. Hazy orange body with a quickly collapsing white head. Aroma of lime zest, mango, peach and some pepper. Taste of hay, lemon zest, peach, lime juice, grape seed and some grassy hops. Light bodied with a lively carbonation. As a matter of fact this bottle was past it's best before date, but I think it's not that crutial for sours. Actually it's still an OK beer.

Pours extra hazy orange golden, topped with a gushing, large but quickly settling white foamy head. Gentle soury fruity nose, some gooseberries, white grapes and unripe apples. Strong puckery sourness upfront, shortlived, a hint of sweetness which is immediately covered by harsh herbal bittery feel. Lighter body. Medium aftertaste. Too herbal for my liking, really. Too bad, it promised a lot.

Very good, but I'm happy with the normal tzatziki sour

Impressive, bit not so much for me. INTENSE strawberries, creamy finish. Maybe not beery enough...

Bottle from Homebrew Bottle Shop, Oxton in Birkenhead. Appearance - cloudy orange. Thin attractive lacing. Nose - light tropical but smoke and lime predominant. Taste - papaya, smoke and light chilli heat. The chilli spice grows through the glass. Palate - medium bodied and smoky/spicy. Dry smoky finish. Overall - interesting beer and tasty. Grows on me.

Bottle. Golden pour. Aroma of tart, barf, yoghurt and cucumber. Taste has strong sour cucumber, tart, acidic sourness, yoghurt and some fresh herbs. I was expecting this to be terrible, but this is quite refreshing and nice.
