This is my last elf beer. I've got plenty of more seasonal / Christmas beers to drink. I heard that this beer's label got the beer banned in a state (forgot which Maine?) because it showed an elf with a sling shot. The interview with the Dan Shelton of the Shelton Brothers was on Craft Brew Radio coved the story, and gave a back ground into the last few beers.
This beer has some orange peel aroma, that reminds me of Belgium beer. There is a some smell to the beer maybe clove, or coriander, and there is a yeast smell too. The color is a dark yellow almost straw color, and very clear. The head is nice and thick.

The taste is very full of flavors, some fruit and spicy flavors. I am getting some strong banana flavors, nice and sweet. The spices in the beer make is a good example of a Christmas beer. The mouthfeel could be a little heavier and I don't really taste any hops. The finish carries the strong spice and fruit through the beer, making this beer very enjoyable.
I am really enjoying the fruit and spice in this beer. As the elves got worst the beers got better. I know there is also a criminally bad elf on the market but I don't know where I can get it. If it contiunes like the other 3 I would love to try some. THis beer is great.
