MBGSF 2011. Poured clear brown with an average frothy off-white head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Solid spicy ginger, citrus hop and malt aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture and soft carbonation. Medium ginger bittersweet flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration. Interesting drinkable beer.

pours a deep red color with a nice light tan head, looks great... The nose is all ginger, too much for me as I tolerate ginger but wouldn’t want this much in anything... The taste mutes the ginger and is very hoppy, seems dry hopped. The taste is much better than the nose, but a half glass is about all I want.

draft at the 4elf party at dark horse, 2010. orange red body with medium white head. soap and pine hops with a strong ginger backbone. clean and crisp, the hoppiness makes this ginger style quite nice.

Draft, 2010 4 Elf Release Party. Hazy medium orange-brown body, thin cream head. Nose of ginger, caramel, and citrusy hops. Sweet body with brown sugar and ginger, nicely hopped with soapy, citrusy notes. Hoppy finish. Tasty.
