December 30: On the eve of the final day of my Winter Beer Month, I reached for two more international seasonals from Ridgeway Brewery.
Criminally Bad Elf: A 10.5% Barleywine sporting an imprisoned elf on the label? Yes please! Not too hoppy and nicely sweet, this ale had a hint of licorice in the aroma. Floral notes and a quick finish hid the potency of this pint.
Bad Elf: Boasting over three pounds of fresh hops per barrel, this festive golden ale was smooth and crisp. In fact, at 6%, it didn't come across that hoppy at all. Enjoyed nice and cold, this winter ale helped wash down a late night snack of hummus and veggies.
