Wicked Elf Pale Ale

ABV = 5.4%

This is The Little Brewing Company’s version of an American Pale Ale using imported American ale yeast, American hops, and Australian and English malts. Hops and malt flavour are plentiful in this ale, which is ‘bigger’ than most.

Overall, this is a hoppy, flavoursome and refreshing pale ale.

Colour and appearance:
Rich copper/gold in colour with good clarity and a creamy beige head.

Aroma:
Fresh floral/citrus aromas, from Oregon grown Cascade hops, balance a judicious use of crystal malts.

Flavour:
A seductive combination of citrus hop flavour with a generous malty character (toffee and burnt notes) balanced towards hop flavour and bitterness as the style dictates.

Suggested food match:
Treat like a red wine. Excellent with red meats and game meats, but is also great with Indian curries and hotly spiced foods (puts out the fire nicely).

Beer Reviews

"Rich, golden ale with a solid malt character backed by layers of grapefruit-tinged hop flavours and a robust bitterness. A full-bodied, hop lover’s drop that nails the US pale ale style nicely."

Willie Simpson, ‘A Wicked Little Drop’, Good Living, p25, The Sydney Morning Herald, 16 December 2008.


The (Newcastle) Herald, Weekender, p9, 15 September 2007.
