It's not easy to find a well hopped, light-bodied ale. But this here is one of 'em. An extra pale gem, this beer has a floral hop nose, with some citrus notes and a hint of peppery spice. The hoppy character is somehow subdued in the flavor, permitting the premium pale malted barley malts to pique with notes of caramel and fruit. The finish showcases a hops resurgence as a prominent bitterness balances the sweetish malt tones with a floral, bitte...

  • Suggested Glassware: English Pint Glass
  • Country: England
Bad Elf is the first in a series of elfin-themed brews from the Ridgeway Brewing Company. It is a pale, festive golden ale created in the English IPA style, with a particularly heavy dosing of hops. In fact, for every barrel brewed, there are nearly three pounds of hops used! All of the beers in the elf series are biggish brews. In addition to Bad Elf, there's Very Bad Elf (a strong, or, 'double' pale ale), Seriously Bad Elf (an English Strong Al...

Planet Porter is one of the oldest American porters. In 1992 it took home the Gold Medal from the Great American Beer Festival as well as the Silver at the World Beer Championships in 1997. Expect roasted malts, chocolate, and hints of espresso on the robust nose. Also note the hop aromas that gently mingle with the roasted malt aromas and subtle plum-like notes, which expand with warmth. Note flavors of dark chocolate, toasted malt and biscuit, ...

  • Hops: Willamette

  • Country: United States
This Great American Beer Festival 2006 Silver Medal winner is modeled after the renowned brown ales of England. A session beer with substance, this brew satisfies pint after pint. British and Belgian specialty malts enhance the depth of malt flavor and aroma. Look for notes of coffee, maple syrup, and chicory on the nose, with slightly citrusy hop notes that also present hints of pepper. Expect rich malt flavors, with a slightly toasted note ming...

As the name implies, some folks look forward to winter, particularly those in skiing havens like Colorado. The tag line associated with this beer is "For the drinking town with a skiing problem." It's an aggressively hopped strong winter warmer that is perfect for cold weather. On the nose, look for notes of pine, grapefruit, toffee and a subtle note that approaches pomegranate. Rich notes of malty, nutty grains and hints of chocolate make up the...

  • Country: England
Why this beer's label didn't upset Connecticut officials, we have no idea. The image of Santa Claus on this beer's label is just slightly more conspicuous than the Very Bad Elf label, a point that distributor Dan Shelton of Shelton Brothers Distributing was quick to point out during the ordeal; "We even had a beer called Santa's Butt last year. They didn't notice Santa's Butt, but they notice this one. How can you miss that big red thing?" Pricel...

Dogfish Head Craft Brewery - Zwaanendale

  • ABV: 8.0%
  • Country: United States

This beer is called Zwaanend’ale, which is the name of the first Dutch settlement in what is now Lewes, Delaware. The fittingly placed apostrophe is an addition by Sam. It seems that the city of Lewes and the state of Delaware requested that Dogfish Head brew a beer to celebrate that settlement’s 375th birthday. It is considered to be the first town in the first state of the U.S.. Certainly that distinction deserves a beer brewed to honor it.
