Brewery Notes. The holidays at Troegs start with our inner Mad Elf momentarily taking over the brew deck. So blame "him" for this cheerful ruby red creation brewed with cherries, honey and spicy Belgian yeast reminiscent of cinnamon, clove and allspice. It's time! The Mad Elf is here with its nuanced blend of sweet and tart cherries. Pennsylvania wildflower honey, chocolate malt, and a hint of mischief. Thanks to a spicy Belgian yeast, this ruby red holiday ale finishes with subtle notes of cinnamon, clove and allspice. It's not the holidays until you've had your first Mad Elf.
