On tap at the Drafting Room. Cask conditioned. Served at cellar temperature. Poured a medium hazy amber color with a smaller off white head. Compared to the other Sly Fox IPAs I had this night, this was more subtle smelling and tasting (hoppy, citris and some malts). Well rounded and very good.

The 2nd of 9 Sly Fox IPAs this year. Classic aromas of hops, citrus, and malt. Finishes hoppy, malty, and well balanced.

Cask, Poured a super cloudy copper color with a small tight of white head and beautiful lacing on the glass. Sweet coconut, grassy herb, and citrus aroma. Taste was that of bitter hops and sweet pine resin. Very soft and round mouthfeel. A very nice IPA.

EKG gives a nice fruity background with some hints of herbs and some earthiness but well rounded. SOmewhat flowery as well. Somewhat harsh and muddled bitterness in the end.

Drought: Smells hoppy and bitter. Poured golden-orange color with a big white head. Lasting lacing. Clear. Tasted of East Kent Goldings. Nice and hoppy and bitter. Very easy to drink, especially on cask. Overall, a very good IPA.

Tap at the SF IPA event. Deep orange, clear, tan head. Hoppy aroma with a slight malt note coming through. Lots of hops, but a stalish malt flavor. Hops linger. I thought fuggels to be better. Maybe some diacetyl in this one.

A draft offering from Sly Fox part of the 9 IPA's in nine months to celebrate the brewery's 9th annivesary. This one has the flavor of a classic English IPA. East Kent hops are not overwhelming but make this a smooth IPA.
