Description
Good in brewing beer. Bad in writing bios. Madness from Budapest challenging almost everything you know about beer. Always flawless, always bold, never boring. Not necessary business-wise all the time, but setting the standards high for ourselves every time as we truly believe in the cliché that goes like ‘the way you do something is the way you do anything’.

Can from the brewery. Pours hazy orangeish golden with no head. Nose is led by vanilla and passion fruit, or rather, it's all I get but I swear it actually reminds me of madártej. Taste is moderately tart first off, then turns sweet, it shows vanilla and passion fruit, some lactose too. Nicely balanced. Closes with a sweetish, somewhat tart finish, has a light yet full body, soft carbo. Drinks way below the abv, nice refreshing sour even with this high ABV. Reminds me of a tasty ice cream really.

Can at home. Pours hazy orangeish golden with white head. Nose is cantaloupe, tropical fruits, jammy stonefruits, light citruses, candy sweetness. Taste is lightly grassy, moderately bitter fruity sweetness, with notes of cantaloupe, mango, apricot and citrus zest. Closes with bittersweet jammy fruity finish, has light to medium body and soft carbonation. Good one.

Can shared at work. Pours golden with thick white head. Nose is fruity, a bit vineous hops, light honey and some malts. Taste is light to moderate bitterness, some fruity notes, honey again, and even some alcohol. Closes with sweetish fruity finish, has light body and soft to average carbo. Not your usual wc hop profile, and some more bitternes wouldnt have hurt.

Can at home, courtesy of the Mad crew, koszi szepen! Pours murky yellowish with a white head. Nose is huuuge citrus bomb, zesty, with a hint of tropical fruity bubblegum. Lovely. Taste is low bitterness, citra all over(duh) zesty citrus. Closes with a long lasting, dry and bitter finish, has a nice full body (for this ABV at least) and soft to average carbonation. The aroma is lovely on this one, taste-wise it’s not as outstanding but still pretty solid. Nice pale ale all in all.

Can at home. Pours black with a finger wide beige head. Nose is lactosey milk chocolatey sweetness, a hint of hazelnut. Taste is milk chocolate, some cocoa powder and touches of hazelnut and lactose, rather sweet and one dimensional tbh. Closes with a sweet finish, has a light, creamy body and soft carbonation. Pretty one-sided and rather mediocre tbh, expected a lot more from this.

Can shared at home. Pours dark brown, almost black with a beige head. Nose is cocoa powder, some coffee and chocolate. Taste is light coffee, dry cocoa and chocolate, hints of coconut. Light body, soft to average carbo, drinks waaay below the ABV. Too thin (almost watery) and the coconut is nowhere to be found. Expected much more tbh.

Can, courtesy of the Mad crew. Pours a hazy, fruit shake-like yellow with a fluffy white head. Noice! So the thing is, I'm pretty sure I1ve never ha kiwi. At all. I have no idea how it's supposed to taste, not the least. But the thing is, I still dont know, even after having this beer: that is, it had very, VERY faint fruit accents on top of the usual creamy, somewhat tart and tangy lactic character. I could barely pick up anyting at all. So it's a solid, decent berliner (with a remarkably thick body, especially for the ABV), but the fruit is kinda lost on it, sadly.

Can at home. Hazy yellow pour, white head. Nose is tropical fruits, candy and spicy pink pepper. Taste is low bitterness, moderate sweetness, showing fruity, lightly grassy hops, some cadny sweetness and faint touches of the pink pepper, but not a great deal of this latter. Closes with a hoppy, moderately spicy finish, has a light body and soft to average carbonation. Interesting and fun concept but I would've liked more pink pepper, love the aroma of it in beer.

Tap at MadKert, courtesy of the crew. Deep mahogany pour, no head. Nose is huge walnut and booze, light vanilla and dried fruits with a faint hint of chocolate. Taste is also big on the walnut with a lot of bourbon notes, booze, caramel and dried fruits. Closes with a sweet, nutty and boozy finish, has a huge, thick and oily body and close to zero carbonation. Lovely.

Tap at Mad Kert. Hazy, murky orange pour, thin head. Nose is intense tropical fruits, passion fruit and mango, a touch of pineapple too. Light grassy notes. Taste is moderately bitter with a light to mid sweetness, showing the same fruity notes as the aroma. Closes with a fruity, somewhat sweetish, warming finish, has a medium body and soft carbonation.
