| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 23, 2005 Hand bottled from a growler: Pours a clear deep mahogany with a thin, whispy, nicely-lacing cream-colored head. Has a nIce fresh piney, hoppy aroma with good toasty and lightly sweet caramel malt. Body starts full and malty with good carbonation throughout leading to a bittersweet, crisp, dry, and well-hopped finish. A nicely brewed, enjoyable IPA. Not as assertive as some other types of hops, but Ahtanum taste pretty good. Many thanks to richlikebeer for the sample! bu11zeye (5470), Frisco, Texas, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 13, 2005 (Draught) Pours a cloudy burnt orange body with an off-white head. Aroma of breadiness, citrus, caramel, and pine. Flavor of malt and hops. DocLock (4648), Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Apr 25, 2005 This may be my favorite of the Sly Fox IPAs. The Ahtanum hop doesn’t smack you over the head, and it is on the dry side, but the balance and complexity was through the roof on this one. It is a tad darker than the others I’ve had. Just excellent. egajdzis (3626), Spring Mount, Pennsylvania, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Apr 10, 2005 Poured a deep copper color with a small, off white head that left spotty lacing on the glass. Aroma of pine, lots of floral and citrus hops, light maltiness. Big grassy flavor, various citrus fruits, caramel malts, bitter grapefruit finish. Very refined, one of my favorite Sly Fox IPAs.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 18, 2005 IPA night. Somewhat similar to the cascade and centennial IPAs from last year- lots of citrus with a good balance of pine and jsut a hint of minty qualities. This was pretty good overall, but I think because it was the 2nd IPA of the year- it had lost some of its freshness. TomDecapolis (3173), Skippack, Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | May 8, 2005 I generally like the Sly Fox brews. This one was too dry and piney for my tastes buds. Had it on tap at the Royersford location. michael-pollack (2686), King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 14, 2005 Draught at Pheonixville: Sweet with carmel and honeysuckle as well as a little citrus and pine in the nose. Color is orange. Sparkling, with frothy, white, foamy head. Tastes of wood, citrus and some pine. Interesting flavor. VERY dry, which I love. Not the best of their IPAs, but one of the dryest!
