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.

04.06.2018 -- 0.33l bottle for free from qoqa, thanks! 28.11.2017-12.05.2018. pours a hazy amber with a big steady off-white head. aroma of mango, passionfruit, orange jam, caramel malts. flavour of caramel, slight grapefruit. rather sweet, little bitterness, smooth mouthfeel. the nose is almost perfect for an ipa, mouth is a bit too sweet and hollow. not bad though.

Cloudy yellow and just a little foam. I smell Spearmint bubble gum, go figure. Smell again and yeah, that's mint. So there it is, not something normally found on a sour. Flavour is some heavy vegetable, cabbage, kale and a sour citrus end. Odd pile of vegetable things going on. Medium finish. I highly doubt I would to drink this again.

03.06.2018 -- 0.33l bottle for free from qoqa, thanks! bb 20.07.2018. pours a murky dark orange with a quickly disappearing off-white head. aroma of mango, passionfruit, oranges, nuts, caramel. very tropical fruity. flavour of mango, peach, lemon, funk. chili kicks in towards the finish. I like chili normally, but this one would have probably been even better without it.
