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.

Canned. Hazy orange colour with a mediumsized, but quite fast gone away head. Aroma is mango and some citrus. Flavour is mango, citrus and tropical fruits. Watery. Kind of Milkshake/NEIPA, one of the most useless beer styles for real. I rather drink fruit juice than some pretending to be beer.

Bottled. Hazy orange colour, small white head. Aroma is fruits, vinegar/lactic notes with some wheat too. Flavour is rather tart with some berries and wood. A bit strange flavour, maybe just the yeast and lactic notes acting.

Bottled. Amber colour, mediumsized slightly off-white head. Aroma is toffee, some floral notes, mild herbs as well as some zest. Flavour pretty much consists of the same elements as the aroma, but also has a slight spicy and mild grainy edge to it. Nice bitter finish!

Bottled. Golden colour with a small head. Aroma is cucumber, some acidic and sour tones with mild yoghurtlike tones. Flavour is cucumber, yoghurt tartness, some mild herbs too. Quite strange, but after the first shock actually turns quite ok.
