Tap. I always look forward to another in the Sly Fox varietal IPA’s and this doesn’t disappoint. a bit fruity, slightly resiny, somewhat herbal aroma. balanced and drinkable as always. Nice.

Tap at Barcade: Pours a deep copper with some clarity and a creamy off-white film of head. Great fruity hop aroma with berries, mango, syrupy orange zest, sweet resins and an underlying fresh malt balance. Has some creamy and dense carbonation. Generously hopped flavor, possessing both fruitiness and bitterness. Sweet underlying caramel and toasted pale malts hold up the extreme hop character of hemp, berryish fruits, orange, lychee, and a piny inky long bitter finish. Extremely long, bitter and dry, but it has dimension. Nice IPA.

On tap at the Royersford location. Pours a mostly translucent amber with lots of golden notes and a medium creamy off white head that left lacing. Aroma of sweet caramel malts, orange slice, fresh hops, light pine and toasted malt. Flavor of toasted malt, caramel, pine, considerable hop bitterness and grapefruit.

Draft @ HDG. Nothing wrong with this stuff. Looks great in the glass, has a nice grassy aroma and a nice dryness in the finish. Balances almost perfectly, showcasing the hop very well.
