About
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.

Bottle from Cotteridge Wines; dark chestnut pour with a tinge of red, big beige bubbly head, big fruity aroma mostly of the stoned variety, fruity taste plums, cherries, a hint of caramel some background yeast notes, quite bitter seems quite high on the IBU’S, overall an excellent Belgian interpretation.

Bottle from Cotteridge Wines, Birmingham. Poured a hazy dark amber with a big frothy off white head. The aroma is big yeast weak citrus fruit and a touch medicinal. The flavour is strong bitter with a boozy yeast palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation. A brown ale? More like a Belgian ale to be honest. I think the yeast was from there.

Nose is strawberry, cherry, jolly ranchers. Taste is malt and yeast leading to grain with a hoppy resin note finishing with summer fruits and sugar. Mouthfeel is slick and it wears its high alcohol very well. A very nice example.

330ml bottle from Beermoth. A gusher. Very little apricot here, some sourness but overall a confused saison thats not quite sure of itself. Not great.

Nose is pleasingly sour, green apples, farmyard, I was surprised I could not get Apricot. Taste is initially very sour, but then undercut by softer, tacky fruit tones, leading to a bitter then dry finish. Taste includes a touch of horse blanket and straw. The mouthfeel was a little thin for my taste, and the finish a bit short. A nice sour saison that shows a lot of promise, it is undermined by the thinness, the shortness of the finish. It still feels slightly lightweight.
