Aroma with hops. A dark brownish colour. The foam is nice and big. Flavour of hops and honey with a bitter after taste. Updated 2015: Lowering the score, I was young back then...

Bottled at Stockholm Beer Festival 2007. A hazy amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet hoppy combined with notes of elderberries. The flavor is sweet malty combined with notes of elderberries, oranges, flowers, hops, and perfume, leading to a dry finish.

500ml bottle. Slightly hazy golden-tan color. Hops and bitter honey in the aroma. Classic fruity English malt character, with a nice hop presence. The alcohol is moderately present, but certainly never dominates. A very nice and original Winter Ale.

50 cL in a unique bottle labeled with good advertising appeal. Decently fresh aroma of good yeasty beer. Dull green citrusy grapefruit bite. Taste is somewhat like the elf looks. Rude and obnoxious at times. Quite bitter alky attack on the finish. I found this very hoppy for an ESA.
