Much like most of the beer I had from this brewery, this one was weak, underwhelming and unremarkable. I wouldn’t avoid it but I feel like there are almost always better choices.

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.
2.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20 simonbilyk (82) - Maine, USA - SEP 17, 2009
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.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 MartinT (6150) - Montreal, Quebec, CANADA - JUL 10, 2009
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.

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
