Commercial Description:
Olde England meets the New World in this strong, warming golden ale, brewed by Peter Scholey. Master brewer for the late and much-lamented Brakspear Brewery of Henley-on-Thames, England, Peter started his own brewing operations in 2003. Bad Elf is a hop-lover’s dream, balancing a generous amount of famous English malt with an astounding 45 ounces of fresh hops – including American Cascade – per barrel.

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.

Bottled. Deep golden. Roch hay aroma. Soapy and richly hoppy. Dry with bold, yet soft mouthfeel. Hops are dominant, but well balanced by malt. An English hop monster!
