Pours a hazy golden colour with a white head. Hoppy and floral aroma. Sweet malty flavor with lots of hops. With a long and bitter aftertaste.

A big step down from the regular bad elf, IMO. Lacking a blast of hops, this beer features a toasted malt character, with rounded sweetness that is a little cloying. Hops manifest in a somewhat dirty fashion, being somewhat earthy and showing dirty ashtray. Reminds me in some ways of Fat Tire, but with a bigger malt presence. The finish equally unpleasant, with a stinging palate featuring burnt dry toast and cigarette ash.

A really big spicy hop nose is the first to great you here, with some lemon rind notes as well. Light golden with a fair head. Clean with a sweet yet somewhat bland malt palate, somewhat soapy with lemon rind and resiny hop flavorings skirting all around. Medium bitter finish with a light bite. Light to medium bodied.

500ml bottle. Attractive amber colour with disappearing head. Corn, toffee and hop on the aroma. Caramel and cream in mouth are spoilt by the over carbonation even though this is a live beer. Perfumed hop on aroma and finish is quite nice and the hop finish is quite spicy. Needs more malt.

An amber beer with small particles of sediment floating around, underneath an off-white head. The aroma is sweet with light notes of caramel and hops - I’m thinking Goldings. The flavor is sweet with primary notes of caramel, leading to a well bitter hoppy end.

A hazy orange beer with a huge off-white head. The aroma is sweet and very fruity with notes of oranges and peaches, but also some hints of metal - and the flavor is pretty much like the aroma, but the body is somewhat thin, no wonder at 4% ABV.

I think I liked this better than the site did. Not a world class beer in any sense, but a really decent "drinking" porter, and an excellent unobtrusive (not to imply bland) partner to food, even a beefy strip steak off the grill. Aromas of toffee and a touch of chocolate, almost schwarzbier like with the hint of cinnamon and other desert spices. Flavor is very similar, light roast, light chocolate, light toffee, even semi-dry finish. The caramels have that nice earthy british malt character. Clean on the whole. Light to medium bodied with soft and light carbonation. Very dark garnet color with a thin tight head that reminded of nitro’d stout. One drawback was that the aroma, as the beer warmed and sat in the glass losing effervescence, became somewhat dirty and vegetal.

Bottle. Hazy golden colour. White longlasting head. Flowery hop bitter aroma. Flavor is also bitter with some maltiness. Dry and bitter aftertaste. One of the best organic beers i have had.
