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.

Hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and minerally crisp. Thin malts. Very floral and fairly sweet raspberry, the floralness is bordering on perfumey. A surpressed bitterness on the light dry crisp finish. I feel the Mad Hatters have lost their way a little. This tastes like a Belgian gimmick beer. It's fine but more naff than mad.

Keg @ Beer Heroes, Chester. Pours dark brown, pale tan head. Dark malt on the nose. Fairly light on the palate, a bit like an old-style porter, some light chocolate moments, bitter dark malt. Light carbonation. Comes and goes without leaving much of a mark.

Keg @ Beer Heroes, Chester. Pours murky reddish amber, off-white head. Aroma has distant raspberries, sweet malt. Expected vibrant jammy raspberry in the taste, as in previous Hatter beers, but it seems noticeably lacking this time. It does appear to be there nestled underneath sweet malt, soft lactose and very light vanilla hints, but sadly not as prominent as I was hoping.
