Naked Elf takes a hard look at the less-is-more theory. Ever since we developed The Mad Elf, we’ve speculated what it would taste like without the cherries and honey. So what lies beneath the fruit? Naked Elf is unfiltered, so the spicy yeast taste is more prominent in this strong, hazy orange ale. The combination of the Pilsner, and Vienna malts give a lot of body and minimal sweetness, but Naked Elf has a dry finish. Finally, the heat of the alcohol makes its presence known in the finish. The Naked Elf’s finest quality is the delicate balancing act between a lively yeast kick and a slight alcohol note that lingers in the back of the mouth—constantly reminding us not to overindulge in this complex, warming elixir.

Very nice Belgian Golden, doesn't have the huge fruitiness and spices as a Tripel. Light amber color with a golden hue, sustaining off white head and heavy lacing along with strong carbonation. Yeasty with a mild sweetness and an underlying spiciness, fairly dry and smooth. A very succinct Belgian, and extremely enjoyable.

I’ve been waiting a while to try this. I’ve heard a lot of rumors about it. On tap at the Mad Mex in Robinson. Nice thin lacing down the sides of the glass. The color is slightly hazy iced tea. Very thin head that leaves a tea froth on top of the brew. Strong sweetish aroma that appears to be some what like peppermint. The somewhat peppermint aromas carry over into the firsts tastes. Mint volatile candy greets the taste buds. Also has the hints of a fine liquor but it is not necessarily mouth coating like liquor is. I’m impressed with the whole kit and caboodle. Virtually flat with hardly any noticeable carbonation tingle. Nice to try this beer without the imperfections of hops. Very smooth and refined, you'd never know this is more than a 5% beer let alone a 9%. Be careful, you'll get more than you bargained for if you drink this as quick as the taste encourages. Finish is building bitterness from mild to medium and it hangs out on your palate for a while. Glad to have had a chance to try this unique concoction.

Poured a hazy amber color with a small, off white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of citrus fruits, toffee malts, banana, spices, earthy yeast, and dry fruits. Taste of earthy yeast, with sweet malts, seems like honey, also candi sugar, bubblegum, toasted dough, with some light spices, and a little bit of alcohol in the finish. Thick mouthfeel.
