On tap at the Sly Fox Brew Pub. Poured a medium and cloudy amber color with a smaller sized off white head. Aromas of flowers, some spices and very light citrus. Tastes of the same.

Draft at Phoenixville, PA location. Another winner. This one pours copper, with a big eggshell head. The aroma is a resiny hop. The taste is hoppy, with resiny hops and a slight dry minty twinge at the finish. Not as sweet as some of the other Sly Fox IPAs, but then again it isn’t trying to be. I loved this one. Goes great with nachos.

Poured a copper color with a medium sized, off white head, that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of floral, citrus, and fresh hop resin. Taste of grass, strong hop bitterness, lightly sour lime, and a dry finish. Not enough malts in this one, and I was looking forward to this hop.

Glacier definately has more of a minty herbal character with hints of pine and light citrus. Also a very clean bittering hop- finishes very smooth. Was not sampled very fresh so it probalby would have been awesome last year, but some of the hop flavor and aromas had faded.

An orange appearance. Some faint hop and citrus in the flavor. Nothing going on here at all. This reminds me of Redhook IPA. Nothing else to say. Get the 113 IPA instead.

Definitely one of the best varietal IPA’s the Fox has done, copper color, big off-white head, excellent lacing around the glass, very floral nose with notes of pine, citrus, & hops, full-bodied, very easy-drinking beer, very smooth, excellently balanced, lots of hops in the flavors with a sweet malty backbone, very bitter & dry, more citrus notes in the body along with a dry & woody flavor, dry finish & more hops, overall a great IPA and certainly one of the best in the entire "Anniversary" collection

Glacier hops are spicy and yes even minty. Attractive IPA with golden body and pillowy white head. Floral aroma, and spicy flavor. This is only the second beer I’m aware I’ve consumed with glacier hops (other beer was DFH Burton Baton).

Draft at the brewery. Nice solid IPA. Nice floral aroma. Soft dry finish.
