Sly Fox Royal Weisse

On tap at Phoenixville. Probably best described as a Hoegarden cousin of sorts. Its a good beer.

can poured a light caramel color with a thin white head. aroma has banana yeast, pale malt, and muted hops. a little washed out overall. light mouth feel but has some texture with low carbonation. flavor has grains, banana yeast, sweetness, and dull hops. there is a bitterness in the finish that throws things off for me.

From a can purchased at the Royersford Sly Fox. Poured into a pilsener glass. Pours with a ton of frothy white head which dissipates in a minute or two leaving moderate lacing on the glass. Smell is fairly light with nothing coming to the forefront. Taste is fairly biting with some banana and bubble gum flavors. Overall, its easy to drink but a little light on flavor for a hefe. I did try it on tap at the brewpub and I liked it more. I’ll give it another try but otherwise, there are better hefes.

To start with, this can of wheat beer was not up to the can of Wittekerke I’ve had and was expecting something along those lines. Pours a hazy golden orange with a white head. Aroma of banana and wheat. Typical hefe flavors of wheat malt, banana bubblegum, and yeast. The bitterness at the end was not enjoyable.

(can - 12 oz) Hazy orange pour with a thin white head. Has a nice, but light, aroma of bananas and cloves mixing with wheat and some dry hops. Flavor is dry and tart at the beginning with a mildly sour middle of wheat and grass. Finishes with a lightly cloying and bitter note. The cloves and bananas are slightly overpowered by the bitterness.

On draft at PHL airport, full orangey hazy body, moderate initial head, aroma of bananas, cloves, some other spices, bread and yeast. The flavor followed the aroma, citrus and orangey type notes. Fairly balanced, perhaps lacking a tad of the clovey/phenolic bite I like on the back end. The body was full and carbonated.

Can compliments of EithCubes. Pours a large, pitted, frothy white head. Hazy, golden-orange body with abundant yeast clouds. Aroma is of wheat malt, yeast and clove. Somewhat stale wheat malt in the flavor, accompanied by some mineral water, mild fruity esters and some spicy clove phenols. Tart, lingering aftertaste. Light, relatively thing body with carbonation that is a bit too aggressive. Mildly bitter finish with some mineral and metal. I really want to like this Hefeweizen more, but it’s just not doing it for me. By no means bad, but underwhelming.

tap, pours hazy orange with a thin white head. Soapy bannana and clove aroma. Pleasant wheat body with light bannana and spice in the finish. Solid.
