COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask; Seasonal - Spring. Also available bottle conditioned all year.
Hopping Mad uses just one single hop variety, Progress, to achieve its appealing aroma, its pleasingly bitter taste and its delightful sparkle. We believe the result is uniquely enjoyable. So did the judges at the Beauty of Hops Awards, who awarded it a Silver Medal.

johndoughty (3286) - cheslyn hay, West Midlands, ENGLAND - MAR 29, 2005

Slightly cloudy and not as hoppy as I had expected from the bottles label. Dissapointing

TC2642 (265) - Worcester, Worcestershire, ENGLAND - NOV 27, 2004

Bottle. I got a lot of citrus and orange in this, some sherbert. I also found it quite smooth and fairly light.

imdownthepub (8470) - Banbury, Oxfordshire, ENGLAND - NOV 9, 2004

Bottle Conditioned. Amber colour with short lasting head. Bitter citric hop notes, a beer with a one track message and that is a big hop note. Dry, grassy with some apricot, but mostly hops.

AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 5/20

Ungstrup (26261) - Citizen of the universe, DENMARK - SEP 9, 2004

An amber beer with an OK, but disappearing white head. The aroma is weird with spices and hop notes, doesn’t the weirdness come from the Progress hops? The flavor is very hoppy and very weird with a dry end. I wonder if it is the Progress hops, that makes this beer weird?

AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20

Spiesy (2338) - Sydney, Greater London, AUSTRALIA - JUL 9, 2004

Bottled. Golden, foggy from the stirred sediment of its days travel. Citrus hop aroma. Citrus bitterness and tang. More yeasty tang. Possibly better if not drunk by a greedy drunk without patience.

AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20

BrainDead (30) - Derby, ENGLAND - MAY 13, 2004

Light and fragrant. An easy drinking golden bitter with clean flavours from an average brewery.
