Nov 5, 2004 Pours a long lasting head and has lots of thick lacing to the end of the glass. Intense fruity-malt aroma dominated by pear, grapefruit, and pencil lead. The flavor is out of this world - dominated by the extreme amount of hops used for this beer, with plenty of malt showing through as well, all combining for a truly unique blend that is not unlike the zippiness of V8 juice! Excellent carbonation and very full-bodied mouthfeel. Extremely bitter, bready, citrus aftertaste (all taken in a positive sense). I realize my high rating may be partly a result of my personal penchants for high carbonation and excessively hopped beer - but I stand by it 100%. The main downside is that Bad Elf isn’t cheap - $5.49 for 1pt .9oz (maybe to pay for the 45 ounces of hops used in each barrel).

Dec 1, 2006 This is quite nice. A great floral aroma, like an IPA. Taste seems like an over-hopped pilsener more than an ale to me, must be that funky English American Cascade hops. A nice drinkable beer and a good dry finish.

Feb 8, 2009 Though Im not usually a fan of the English strong ales this one is the one that changes everything. Good aroma and taste of hops. Very smooth. Golden in color. What I look for in a beer. Great brew.

Nov 19, 2004 0.5l Bottle. Not sure why this is so lowly rated on this site. It is a hop-lovers brew, and I thought moste here were hop-lovers. Anyway, golden and clear, with a perfect thick, lasting head. Piney, grapefruity, hoppy sweet aroma. Explosive hoppy flavor and bitter finish. Some malty body and malty sweetiness underneath. Real Nice!

Pours a dark gold, very clear, with a small but persistent white head. Aroma is crystal malt, with subtle butterscotch and hints of earthy yeastiness, all mingling with rustic British hops. Flavor is strong caramel upfront, balanced with a pleasant hoppy bite, and with some distinct but pleasant butterscotch in the background. Finish is very clean, with a hoppy aftertaste leaving you wanting more. Alcohol is strong, but blends well and is not at all unpleasant. Overall, a very well balanced beer.

Feb 8, 2009 Nice mix of hops and spice. Golden pour, but doesn’t overpower on the taste.

Dec 18, 2004 Cask at Rich O’s: Large white head atop an orange body. Big hop aroma, citrus and bubblegum. No carbonation but a huge hop blast. Lots of grapefruit in this one. Good.
