Beer Tasting: Sly Fox E.S.B.
Jake's E.S.B is brewed by Sly Fox Brewing Company. This was from the tap at their Phoenixville location.
Have you tasted this beer? Let us know what you think. As a suggestion, try to keep the review as brief as possible for each of the following: appearance; smell; taste; mouthfeel; and drinkability.
Appearance
Adam: thin head, copper
Bryan: a quickly dissipating one-finger head
Smell
Adam: nothing of note (it was smoky in the dining room)
Bryan: faint aromas of malt and hops barely perceptible
Taste
Adam: bitter tang, lingering bitterness
Bryan: malt and hop character much better balanced and easier to identify than in the Sly Fox Red (the beer we had before this one)
Mouthfeel
Adam: light upfront, clean, carbonated
Bryan: well-rounded and fuller flavors than the Red
Drinkability
Adam: yes if you like ESBs this is a good example
Bryan: Yes, and enjoyable too
Seconds?
Adam: oh, yes
Bryan: yes, please!
