Sympa! Assez light

Great flavor smooth

This is supposed to be a 50/50 beer of 1/2 Mad Elf and 1/2 Dream Weaver Wheat. It has light cherry, honey and a little lighter clove. There are hints of banana there too. Has some wheat bread that is just a little more dominant than the previous. It helps tone down the Mad Elf piece. Overall I think this hybrid was much better. The overall winner out of the 4 beers was The Naked Elf.

I decided to include the stout in my review of the 12 pack holiday beers. I figured I review each of the 4. So this is the third. This has a lot of ginger, cinnamon, clove, chocolate, roasted malt with light vanilla & molasses. It has a quite bitter finish. The cinnamon and ginger are quite overwhelming. To much so for me. Maybe I should have saved it.

So this is a re-review. I haven’t this for 6 years so I figured I’d give it another chance. Everyone here raves about this beer. So it has a cherry with light honey taste. Has very light Belgium spices that started light but faded to a very light level. Has a strong alcohol taste. Overall it’s a little better than I remember. I just don’t get why so many people love this beer. The Belgium part tastes like a cheap Belgium style that doesn’t quite cut it.

Going Belgian style tonight - in particular Troegs from their holiday 12 pack. Saving the stout for a dark beer review. Starting with the Naked Elf, this has your normal Belgium spices coriander/clove with some bubblegum and a hint of banana. Has some very light caramel and toffee. Overall pretty good for an American Belgium style. It’s a little like a dubbel but not as dark.

It’s great tasting beer hard for me to describe exactly what this beer takes like but it’s a great IPA and was only 11.99$ for a 6 pack

A nice, smooth, hazy offering 👍
