Wicked Elf Pale Ale is made in the American Style whose main point of distinction is the use of American hops for bittering and flavouring.
This is a nice ale, but nothing really stands out as remarkable. There is a subtle hint of caramel from the malt covered by the bitter pine flavours of the Cascade hops that lingers in the mouth. It pours with a lovely amber colour and a clear bright head.
It's nice, but not something I'll be revisiting anytime soon. For a better example of an American Pale Ale try the Matilda Bay Alpha Pale Ale.
