Sly Fox British Pale Ale

Brewed by Sly Fox Brewhouse
Style: English Pale Ale
Royersford and Phoenixville, Pennsylvania USA

On tap at the Phoenixville location. Pours a translucent golden amber with an off white lacing head. Aroma was light with some malts, roasty, some fruit and an overall sweetness. Flavors of malts followed by a lightly bitter citrus hop, grains, easy drinking yet flavorful.

Light copper in color, not much head to speak of, no lacing around the glass, nose full of hops and caramel, & lemongrass with a slight citrus tone, medium in body, very drinkable, big hop profile in the flavors, a lot hoppier than expected, nicely balanced with a good flavor of malt, I was expecting a more subtle hoppiness, but this was very hoppy, lots of spiciness in the finish as well, overall a pretty good session beer

Sampled in Pheonixville. Pour was a medium/light bodied copper color with a small, somewhat sticky white foam. The aroma was fresh cookies with a piney bite. Flavor was toasted malt, grapenuts, grains, pine, grass. One of my better E.P.A.s.

I don’t think I’ve ever had a Sly Fox beer that didn’t look very good out of the tap or bottle or can. This one is coppery with minimal off-white head. The aroma is caramel malty, biscuity, and piney hoppy, with some of that british ESBish unsweetened iced tea tannin in the nose. The flavor starts with a solid malt bill followed by some citric hops. This is a very good beer, but not an elite one.

Poured a deep copper color with a small, off white head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of grains, caramel malts, nuts, and light citrus fruits. Taste of caramel malt, husky graininess, with some faint diactyl, and also dry, medium bitterness in the finish. Decent session beer.
