Aroma: Lovely sweet and almost fruity smell, with a hint of bitter citrus. Appearance: Fairly golden amber colour, medium carbonation, and good medium frothy head. Taste: Quite light with a sweet taste that matches aroma, and then bitter comes through. Hoppy. Palate: Light and refreshing thin texture. The finish is bitter with some citrus taste in the mouth. Overall: An enjoyable beer that just works well together. Would like to try the 6% one and see how it differs.

(Bottled, sampled earlier when RB was broken) Clear, deep golden with a quite large, frothy head. Fresh, flowery-aromatic British-style hops emerge when pouring, along with a hint of buttery-toffeeish malt. Malt is also present in the flavor, but the citric, aromatic, bitter, and even slightly harsh hops take over pretty quickly. Aftertaste fades quickly with dry, bitter-nutty notes. Almost medium body with a high, soft and foamy carbonation. A positive surprise, and not much different from the 6% version.

The full name is Bad Elf Winters Ale – and the ABV is 4,5%. It is a warm golden beer with a creamy head. The aroma has notes of fruity hops, malt, caramel and citrus. The flavour has a light sweetness, notes of citrus, malt, caramel, fruit and the finish is dry with a light bitterness. It is refreshing, harmonic and delicious.

Bottle, bought @ Liva, Kolding.
Clear darkish golden with a small, frothy white head. Sweet caramel aroma, light grassy hops. Lowish carbonation, fine dryish mouthfeel. Flavour is light bitter, good grassy and herbal hops. Light citric with some notes of caramel. Very fresh and nice.
