High floral aroma with a spicy finish. Pours a perfect pale amber. Not a true IPA, but a lighter version with a wonderful array of hops. Just a terrific fresh brew available in both 22oz bottle and half-gallon growler.

22oz bought from brewery. Pours hazy straw, absolutely fullll of bubbles, head keeps growing. Aroma is slightly spicy, a little grassy (or like trub), a hint of lemon. Body is rather thin and flavor isn’t completely pleasant. It’s nice and spicy with lots of hop flavor but the aftertaste is a little like watered down trub. I enjoyed this beer when I tasted it on tap at the brewery but something was lost by putting it in a bottle. It unfortunately did not live up to my expectations of good Maine beer. I hope to try it some other time, maybe it was just a bad bottle.

My Bottom Line:
Peppery and citrusy hops politely spice up the delicate toasted caramel malts until earthy, leafy hop bitterness concludes this levelled Pale Ale.

Further Personal Perceptions:
-A sheet of foam covers the glowing coppery amber.
-This is far from an IPA as stated on the label, even an English one for that matter, but it is a very drinkable Pale Ale nonetheless.
-The mouthfeel is silky and the effervescence soft.
-The recipe itself is nothing special, but it is flawlessly executed and all flavors are amazingly balanced.

Bottle.

@Brays-on tap-pours a white head and amber color. Aroma is citrus, grain. Taste is citrus-lemon/herbal hops, grainy. Easy.

I hoped a bomber of White Fox Ale would satisfy my craving for a hop drenched IPA. I popped open a bomber that was just the opposite, light bitterness, citrus, medium body, micro line of foam but bubbles throughout the sample.

Bouteille de 22 oz achetée directement à la brasserie. Arôme: Légère odeur de malt caramélisé avec une pointe d’agrumes. Apparence: La couleur est cuivrée avec une moyenne densité de bulle. Présence d’un mince col mousseux et d’une fine dentelle sur le verre. Saveur: Goût d’houblon avec une pointe de caramel. Courte durée de l’arrière goût. Palette: Le corps est moyen avec une texture légèrement huileuse. Moyenne effervescence en bouche. Légère amertume d’houblon en arrière goût. (Rating #1776)

22 oz bottle bought at brewery poured into my pint class produce a copper colored body toped of with a white head that turned to a light lace on the glass Aromas of biscuits and slight pine finish hit your nose. Flavors are crisp nice malt and hop balance. At first, it is a little more to the malt side than the hops but the hop presence is good in the finish The mouthfeel is light and crisp a good session brew This brew is more of pale ale than the IPA the brewer was shooting for. I think they should step up the hops some if that is what they are shooting for. It is even mild for a British IPA standpoint .a good brew other than that and very drinkable
