The Loobys picked up a sixer of this for me for our visit this weekend. Great stuff. Love drinking Sly Fox when I’m in PA, since that is the only time I can get my hands on it.

12oz can brought back with me after my trip to Philly. Pours a crystal clear, orange-copper colored body with an inch thick, creamy, light tan head that dissipates slowly and leaves lots of creamy lacing. Aroma is floral and fruity hops with a moderate caramel, malty sweetness. Slightly mineral lemon and a light crystal sweetness. Flavor is thinner caramels up front before lots of fruity, floral, lemony-citrus hops come in and dominate the finish. Despite the thin beginning, this finishes with a decent malt body that doesn’t necessarily add any sweetness, but gives it a solid balance and never allows the hops to become out of balanced. Pretty dry with a long lingering aftertaste of citrusy hops and a thin earthy caramel. The body starts off pretty thin and slowly grows into the finish, but despite allowing balance, it throws this off a bit. Overall, a very tasty, flowery, slightly earthy, citrusy pale ale. The body is a bit distracting, but other than that, this was enjoyable. Another solid canned beer.

Cask @ GBBF 2009. Pours a clear pale amber color with a small off-white head. Has a fruity malty hoppy aroma with hints of citrus. Fruity malty hoppy flavor with citrus hints. Has a fruity malty hoppy finish with some bitterness in the aftertaste.

An excellent roast/hop balance. Totally laid back but pretty drying. What a tinnie!

Aroma is of light hopes and fruit. Taste is hops, floral and some citrus. palate is a little thin. Pretty decent beer but I would still take dales over this.

12oz Can. Pours an acacia-brownish, edging citrine-orange, nice slick of beige cream. Aroma tends towards hops, but plays in a aromatic malt, towards caramelized pear. Flavor gives a back and forth of nice toothy malt and fresh, punch hops. This tug of war is inviting and combined with the high drinkability, makes for an enjoyable beer. There’s also something extra nice about a fresh hoppy beer like this out of the can. It makes it seems more intact, ready, and whole. The malt on this beer seems a little mumbled, but it doesn’t detract too heavily. A perfect spring or summer adventure beer.

One of my favorite pale ales. Almost as hoppy as an IPA. Definitely reccomended for hop heads and those looking for a great pale ale.
