Whether a pilsner or an IPA, for the most part Wicked Elf’s core range likes to pay homage to the earlier craft beers that inspired thousands of others to follow in their wake. It's true for their pale too, with American Cascade hops taking you to a period in California when homebrewers were just beginning to forge future beer empires.
Pouring a clear golden orange, Wicked Elf’s Pale Ale extracts pine and citrus from the classic US hop, sitting within a somewhat chewy, caramel malt backbone. Add a biting and substantial bitterness and you have a classically-minded West Coast pale ale from the days before West Coast IPAs stepped in to continue the groundwork such beers had already done.
