Wild Beer Madness IPA (2012 - 2020)
NOTE:- a new version of this beer was released in December 2020 and is called Madness IPA 2021. If you are drinking this beer post Dec 2020 it's more than likely the new version. Check the can for the 2021 reference.
Hops + hops + hops!
Our version of the 'West Coast' IPA - the beer that sparked a revolution
When Brett arrived from California he couldn’t believe there weren’t any of his beloved ‘West Coast’ IPAs readily available in the UK. This beer is his version of the style that sparked the craft beer revolution in the US.
Among the orchards and pastures of the green and pleasant Somerset countryside you’ll find our unusual brewery. Our neighbours at Westcombe Dairy make one of the finest Cheddars in the world and Madness balances its intensity and flavours perfectly.
Our Madness IPA uses four classic American hops renowned for their citrus and resinous characteristics. Amarillo, Citra, Centennial and Columbus – used somewhat liberally in late hop and dry hop additions – make this beer what it is. We use a very simple malt bill, and a yeast with a very low flavour impact so that the hops can really shine.
Open the bottle to a tropical punchbowl of aromas, as this beer is all about the hops. There are masses and masses of late hops and dry hops to maximise the beautiful flavours and aromas, so you can experience wave after wave of tropical and citrus fruits.

330ml bottle, drank at home during a mini tasting session with myself on 1st June 2018, this was one of four beers from Wild Beer that evening. Slight haze to the golden amber body, white affair on top. Hop centric with citrus and piney notes in both the nose and taste, semi-bitter throughout.
#2236
Tap. Almost clear, amber, medium white head. Aroma of hops, resiny, fruits. Taste is slightly sweet, moderately bitter, juicy, woody, resiny. Medium body and carbonation..
Too sharp, don't like it.
Draught at Zubatý Pes. Clear, gold colored. AROMA- hoppy, mix of fruit, floral tones, tea. FLAVOR- neutral, lightly bitter, quite fruity and hoppy, malts. Medium bodied.
Very hoppy IPA.
Can from a bottle shop in Edinburgh. Nose is grass, sweet pine, nutty muscat. Palate is bitter hay, orange, pine, nutty finish. Quite nice.
V 100 pivach. Vona citrusova slabsia. Farba bledo zlta. Chut prijemne citrusova.
Can. It pours hazy yellow with a creamy white head. Fruity and exotic hoppy aroma. Great malty. Passion fruit and light pine. The flavor is good malty with fruity hops like passion fruit and grapefruit. Light mango and pine. Great balance between hops and malt.
Bouteille achetée sur QBeer.ch - De couleur orangée cuivrée avec une fine mousse blanche qui laisse un petit col - Au nez des arômes résineux, pin, herbacé, thé, fruité, agrumes, pamplemousse, orange, une pointe de céréale mais énormément de résine - En bouche la résine et le pin continue de tout dominé, le côté herbacé du DH ressort pas mal aussi mais une fois passé ce côté vert les fruits prennent bien leurs places - Corp moyen, amertume moyenne/forte, carbonation correcte, résineuse, final résineuse amère fruitée longue - Superbe IPA résineuse
Can, 0.33l. Aroma of citrus, passion fruit, pine and biscuit. Pours cloudy golden color with medium frothy white head, fair lacing and sparkling appearance. Taste starts with medium sweet and rich toasted malt, following is fruity, grassy and slightly medicinal, mouthfeel is spicy and warm, while finish is heavy bitter with long lasting aftertaste. Medium body, oily texture and lively carbonation in palate. Hop-star....
Clear golden with a creamy white head. Aroma of peach, grapefruit and pine. Taste is medium bitter and sweet wirh notes of grape, peper, citrus and peach.
Közepes, tartós hab, homályos, narancssárga szín. Citrusos, citrushéjas, grapefruitos illat. Citrusos, grapefruitos, mangós-barackos ízek, fűszeres aromákkal karöltve. Lágy, közepesen testes, közepesen szénsavas és keserű, kissé fanyar lecsengéssel. Kiváló egyensúllyal rendelkező, jól sikerült IPA.
Big hoppy, grapefruit and tropical aroma and taste. Some bitterness but not overly so. For me, very well balanced IPA and one I will be buying again. Very good.
Bottle. Green grapefruit, lime, lemon, light notes of pine, gooseberry and carambola. Dry, light overcarbonated, unfortunately also boozy. Very promising aroma, while the flavour fails to deliver.
Plechovka z beershop.sk. Zlatá farba, biela pena. Vôňa sladová, tropické ovocie, citrus, chmeľ. Chuť sladová, citrusová, jemne mango, mandarinka, grapefruit. Dlhá horká dochuť. Stredné telo, stredná nasýtenosť. Výborné.
0.3l bottle from qoqa.ch. pours a hazy pale golden with a medium head and a lot of sediment. aroma of floral and citrusy hops, some biscuit malts. flavour of grapefruit, olives, spruce, grass. not too sweet, a bit oily mouthfeel. zesty bitter finish, some alcohol warmth. very hoppy and aromatic, clean and fresh.
una gran ipa de principio a fin, rubia, turbia, mucho aroma lupulado, presenta sabores citricos y herbales que la hacen bastante refrescante. Muy buena
Caña en la artesana Oviedo 05..01..2018. (r434). Color ámbar amarillento turbio con espuma blanca persistente. Sabores ligeros afrutados con toques herbáceos verdes cítricos suaves que dejan suave amargo final, no muy duradero. Cuerpo ligero a medio algo espumoso y cierta densidad. Buena, refrescante. Para repetir.
Bue à la pression. Couleur légèrement cuivrée pas vraiment limpide. Mousse visuellement digne et tenace. Nez au top sur les fruits tropicaux, mangue et fruits de la passion. Texture douce et soyeuse en bouche, top. Mêmes notes fruitées en bouche, top. Amertume plutôt soft pour une IPA. Bière magnifique, that's all folks !
Hazy orange, creamy head.
Funky brett notes, moderate bitter, sweet oranges in the flavour.
Good.
On tap at Wild Beer at Jessop House. Pours bright gold. Pine, grapefruit, pineapple, mango, caramel. Big bitterness. Big body. Big tasty.
Can @ pizzafuif. Smells very hoppy, fruity, fresh. Tastes hops, fresh, fruity, bitter. Nice body, nice carbo. Love it.
Can@: pours slightly hazy golden with foamy white head.
Big amount of citruses & tropical fruits, clean malt profile, medium hop bitterness, slightly dry finish. Medium bodied, smooth texture, medium-low carbonation.
Can sample at a tasting at Beer&Beyond, Tel Aviv. Cloudy yellow with bubbly white head. The aroma is soapy with notes of citrus, herbs, olives and some ripe fruits. Bitter flavor, soapy, sweetish, "green", grassy, some tropical fruits, olives and jojoba, a bit alcoholic. Dry, medium to full-bodied.
Murky pale gold. Stronf pine and citris aroma. Long hop bitter, crisp and sweet. Citris and tropical fruit flavours. Resin aplenty.
Z początku wydaje się być lekko wodniste. Po kilku łykach doszło do mnie, że tak ma być. lekkie piwo z przyjemnymi, chmielowymi posmakami i zaznaczoną "dzikością". W porządku.
.
Can. Creamy white good mostly lasting head. Yellow colour. Moderate malty and heavy hoppy aroma. MOderate bitter flavor. Average modearte bitter finish. Oily palate.
Can at the Elmbridge Arms, Weybridge. Nice, hoppy IPA. Pours cloudy, auburn with a slender but persistent head. Tropical fruit and sour citrus to the fore. Hoppy, bitter finish. Lovely job!
Lovely beer, full of hops. Also very strong but doesn't have a bitter aftertaste of some other stronger beers
33cl can at the Italian Job. Certainly very hoppy citrusy, and strong. light colour.
