Baby is our Nice Weather-Backyard Drinking-Style IPA. It has the hoppy flavor and aroma of a Double IPA, but at 4.4% abv. it’s manageable to have a few without falling over! Baby Elephant is brewed with pale malt, wheat, and oats to give it enough body, but no cloying sweetness. It’s also hopped with Simcoe, Centennial, Chinook, and Summit hops, which give Baby Elephant its signature juicy, citrus west-coast hop profile.

Can from Eddy's Beverage Inc., Saratoga Springs. Deeply hazy yellow with ephemeral cap of head, no lacing. Aroma is strong citrus/lemon. Taste is strong citrus/lemon but thin. Smooth, thin texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Excellent strength but thin.

16 oz can shared by tfontana, thank you. Aroma of crackers and mild herb. Flavor shows the white cracker malt with soft pine, and very weak citrus.

Undated can shared by tfontana on 11/1/25.
Juicy citrus, wood, soft pine and lemon with white bread and other supportive malts.
Juicy for a West Coast inspired IPA. Soft and lightly woody and piney but not resinous or bitter. Cracker and a bit of soft malt with light sweetness. Is a nice amount of flavor for its size.

On tap at the Blind Tiger, Greenwich Village on 10th July 2016. Ambery gold with thin off-white top and virtually no lacing. A fine, inviting citric aroma. Deep earthiness and tangy grapefruit citrus in-mouth, with zesty kick. Herby and citric hoppiness dominate the finish. Medium-bodied with a zingy mouthfeel.

On tap at The Ginger Man, NYC. A hazy, golden colored beer topped by a small, dense, off-white head. Piney, grapefruity aroma with green peas, citrus peel and some malt. There’s a nice bitterness in the flavor, not much sweetness, but some pale malts in the back. Mostly piney, grapefruity hops though, and more of it than in the flavor. It’s full-bodied and dry on the palate, nicely carbonated, and with a touch of metal in the very end. Still it’s a lovely and refreshing beer. 150624

Draft at Jeffrey while I wait for BC beers to be tapped. Pours hazy yellow with faint citrus nose. Tastes of lemons, light grapefruit, resinous, plenty of florals, and touch soapy. Crisp palate and hops hit back of throat a tad. Pretty good.
