Sly Fox Phoenix Pale Ale
"Like it's mythological namesake, this bold American pale ale will be a legend for our times, a great craft beer reincarnated into a can. Brewed with pale and crystal malts, and the finest U.S. grown hops from the Pacific NorthWest. OG 13 Plato, 40 IBUs, 5.1% by Vol."
12 oz. can, which doesn't look fantastic in a 20 oz. imperial pint glass, but there's one to grow on.
Semi-clear, pale bronze/copper hue, slim whitish head, stays as a slim ring.
Nice, hoppy aroma, grapefruit is here, plenty of citrus, a bit of pine, smack of bitterness, with a tickle of sweet. A little apple and cherry lay beneath the bitter citric spank. Very, very loverly.
Taste: Excellent mix of sweet malt, and fruity, bitter hops. Totally tasty. Herbal, grainy, bitter, sweet…etc. High hops, big bitterness, but buttressed by a firm malt backbone, everything good and tidy and in solid supply. Brisk, fruity, refreshing, bitter and sweet. Goes down exceedingly easy.
Top-notch pale ale, would be one I'd reach for with regularity if I were a Pennsylvanian.
