From the label“CRISP AND GOLDEN, THE KIND OF ALE THAT GOES DOWN EASY AFTER A LONG SHIFT BUILDING TOYS AND DODGING REINDEER DRAMA. MOST ELVES HAVE ONE AND GET BACK TO WORK. BUT THERE'S ONE ELF—THE ONE WITH THE SUSPICIOUS GRIN AND THE 'I'LL TOTALLY BE THERE IN FIVE MINUTES' ATTITUDE—WHO TREATS BAD ELF GOLD LIKE A FULL-TIME HOBBY. HE SWEARS IT'S FOR "QUALITY CONTROL." HE'S LYING, BUT HE'S ALSO KIND OF ONTO SOMETHING. THIS BRIGHT, BRITISH-STYLE GOLDEN ALE IS CLEAN, GENTLY BREADY, AND REFRESHINGLY SNAPPY WITH A FINISH THAT KEEPS YOUR MUG MYSTERIOUSLY REFILLING. BAD ELF GOLD: A WELL-BEHAVED BEER... WITH A SLIGHTLY MISBEHAVED FAN CLUB.”
