  ffejherb ( Puttin' Annville On The Map, Pennsylvania )B+ / 3.9look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.5 | drink: 4.5 rDev: +2.1%On tap at Brass Rail Deli on 2/8/10. A - Clear reddish copper-colored body with a thin beige head that reduced to a patchy wisp but deposited lots of ornate lacing around the glass. S - Aroma displays a grainy malt profile with a subtle tea-like hop character and a hint of fleshy fruit sweetness. T - Like the aroma, the initial flavor consists of grainy notes and toasted barley as well as sweet caramel malt. A hint of light herbal, tea-like hops emerge in the backend and offer a tinge of bitterness. M - Light to medium bodied with a light syrupy texture and moderate carbonation. Finishes with subtle hop bitterness on the palate. D - Nice Irish Red Ale with a distinct toasted grainy malt character. I enjoyed this more than I had anticipated, as I typically find the style to be rather dull. Serving type: on-tap Reviewed on: 02-10-2010 01:26:18 | id: 1102629
 ThePeskyDingo ( Eagan, Minnesota )B+ / 3.85look: 4.5 | smell: 3 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.5 | drink: 4 rDev: +0.8% Another beer I had on St. Patty's Day. Poured with a white 1 finger head. The beer itself was a dark amber color. Couldn't seem to get a whole lot outta the smell... a bit sweet I suppose. Tasted light caramels, hints of raisins and malts. Smooth in my mouth. Crisp finish. Easy to drink. I had two. Serving type: on-tap Reviewed on: 03-18-2009 17:39:32 | id: 873722

 ski271 ( Bellefonte, Pennsylvania )B / 3.6look: 4 | smell: 3 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | drink: 4 rDev: -6.1% On-tap at Zeno's in State College, PA... now smoke-free! Medium-dark reddish-copper with a small foamy, off-white head that diminishes to a partial film but still leaves light rings of lacing as it goes down. Smell is fairly muted. Grassy hops and husky malts. The taste has more of a presence, but is far from loud. Just a pleasant balance of bready malts and light fruity hops. It has a medium body, crisp, light dry texture and moderate carbonation. This is a no-frills decent beer. Easy drinking and enjoyable. Nothing worth seeking out, but good.

 Hojaminbag ( Ithaca, New York And Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania )B+ / 3.8look: 4 | smell: 3 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.5 | drink: 4.5 rDev: -0.5% On tap at the brewery in Phoenixville, PA. Pours a dark amber color with some off white head. Some slight retention with lacing. Barely any smell at all for me, hints of maltiness. Caramel maltiness up front, followed by some floral hop flavors. Malt noticeable in the finish. Very mild and smooth. Very easy to drink, nice for sipping or just downing quickly if that is the kind of thing you like (I was late for an appointment and had to finish the last bit). Interesting brew, I will check out the Sly Fox again. Serving type: on-tap Reviewed on: 03-02-2008 05:30:25 | id: 634425
 stewdawg ( 2879.24 Miles From Santa Rosa, Pennsylvania )B / 3.75look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.5 | drink: 4 rDev: -1.9% 22oz. can sampled in a pint glass This beer pours a well-filtered reddish-brown with an off-white/tannish head that is rather insignificant as it disappears quickly. There is very little lace to mention-- barely a whisp. The aromas are very bready. The mouthfeel is sharp and crisp. The taste is soft and easy, as the malts are evenly balanced with the hops, which are not very prominent in the finish. Most of the finish shows a bit of diacetyl-- not very dry. I thought this was an okay offering from Sly Fox-- not one I would order again. Serving type: can Reviewed on: 11-16-2007 03:16:06 | id: 576807
 BeerImmediately ( Caught Between 2 Sly Foxes, Pennsylvania )B+ / 3.85look: 4 | smell: 3 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | drink: 4.5 rDev: +0.8% Got the last sixtel of this seasonal from the Royersford location in late March... still enjoying it from the home bar.
Pours a relatively clear, amber color with decent 1 inch head and lacing throughout.
Very faint roasted malt smell, with some nutty undertones.
Light caramel up front, with slight - but lingering - fruity hop bitterness to finish.
Pleasant, smooth mouthfeel as you may expect from this style.
Nice drinkability in this well-balanced Irish red.
Looking forward to next March! Serving type: on-tap Reviewed on: 05-05-2007 02:42:20 | id: 497081
 GeoffFromSJ ( Greylodgeville, New Jersey )A- / 4.1look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4.5 | drink: 4.5 rDev: +6.8% Sly Fox has produced a very nice, easy-drinking session beer. Some chocolate malt pokes through in the way of a roasty taste, unless I'm completely off-base.
Mouthfeel is very smooth. Taste is straightforward (which I believe is appropriate for the style). These two things make for high marks in drinkability.
Very nice for March, St. Paddy's Day season, when you don't really feel like a stout. Serving type: on-tap Reviewed on: 03-03-2007 05:34:45 | id: 471767
 DrJay ( Biergötter Homebrew Club, Concord, Massachusetts )B+ / 3.85look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.5 | drink: 4 rDev: +0.8% Clear, deep amber with reddish highlights and a collar of off-white foam. There was a bit of lacing as well. Mild malt aroma with solid caramel character. Medium to low bitterness. Caramel sweetness and a floral/citrus hop flavor that lingers into the finish. There's also just a whisper of chocolate. Medium/light body with light carbonation. Off-dry with a slightly grainy texture. This is an easy drinking beer, easily a session ale.
