thebeertourist (2750), Oslo, Norway Oct 4, 2009 On tap at Beer Temple, 7% ABV, assuming like others that it is this one. Copper colour with a creamy, lacing offwhite head. Citrussy hoppiness with hints of caramel in the mouth. Very bitter. Maybe a bit light body. Highly drinkable. 1more4dessert (231), Upstate, New York, USA Oct 2, 2009 amber clear with frothy marshmallow head.
this is nothing special aroma wise I don’t really care for the mix of traditional German hops with the Left Coast varieties - would prefer one of the other. I do appreciate the bittering but the floral nose and frutiness is buried. I’d drink it again but only in a bind. My store was out of hoppy specimens today. altonbrownd (1862), Amsterdam, Netherlands Oct 1, 2009 On tap at Beer Temple. Dark orange body with nice head. Very hoppy nose. Very hoppy taste and tart. Slightly malts. Well-balanced. Citrus in the finish. (I confirmed that it is indeed the 113 IPA) Borresteijn (1343), Amstelveen, Netherlands Sep 27, 2009 On tap at Beer Temple. The tap list just mentioned Sly Fox IPA, so I guess it’s this one, although it was 7%.. Clear deep amber colour, fluffy and rocky off white head. Aroma of orange peel, citrus and toffee. Flavour is light sweet, caramel, citrus like grapefruit and oranges, metal, rather dry and bitter finish. Medium to fullbodied, smooth oily mouthfeel. afireinside96 (807), Mountville, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 24, 2009 22oz bottle served in a tulip glass. Lightly hazed amber with a large off-white head. Smells of caramel, pine, herbal, and citrus. The flavor is slightly woody with touches of pine, lemon, and grapefruit. Lasting dry finish. A bit odd but maybe it is a bad bottle. I’ll re-rate when I get a chance. italianjohn (337), Bensalem, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 22, 2009 Dark amber clear lacing slight citrus and malt aroma citrus flavor ... caramel malt and grapefruit spicey hop mix.... good balanced and very hoppy a good solid IPA cprochak (387), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 19, 2009 Pours clear orange with frothy cream colored head. Mild citrus hop aroma. Nothing too complex but a solid bitter funk finish. Solid ipa but nothing spectacular. kenb (1100), Oregon, USA Sep 18, 2009 22oz via Mys Swap 4. Pours a clear copper with a small beige head. Nose is earthy/citrus hops. Taste is caramel, pine, orange, with a dry finish. Bittersweet earthy aftertaste. Seems like a corss between a west coast and English IPA? Body is medium, carbonation high. A decent IPA.
