Ridgeway Brewing Bad Elf (4.5%)
This festive golden ale shines as a vibrant, hop-forward interpretation of an Ordinary Bitter. Pouring a clear, pale copper with a frothy white head, it releases a lively bouquet of earthy, floral, and herbal English hops, backed by a subtle bready malt sweetness and light orchard fruit esters. The palate is defined by a firm, refreshing bitterness that cleanses the palate, complemented by crisp biscuit malt flavors. Highly drinkable and beautifully balanced, it offers a dry, lingering herbal finish that invites another sip, delivering festive cheer in a classic sessionable package.
Appearance. Clear, pale gold to light copper. Crowned by a low to moderate white head with fair retention and delicate lacing.
Aroma. Moderate to high hop aroma, exhibiting earthy, grassy, and floral characters. Low bready and lightly sweet biscuit malt notes support the hops, accompanied by subtle apple and pear ester notes. Clean fermentation profile with no diacetyl.
Taste. Assertive, medium-high bitterness dominates the initial impression, quickly followed by earthy and herbal hop flavors. A lean, supportive bready and biscuity malt foundation provides balance without adding heavy sweetness. Low fruity esters of red apple. Finishes decidedly dry, crisp, and clean with a lingering, pleasant herbal bitterness.
Mouthfeel. Light to medium-light body with moderate carbonation typical of bottled versions. Crisp and highly refreshing with a clean finish and no perceptible alcohol warmth or astringency.
