Beer Tasting: Sly Fox Phoenix Pale Ale (can)
Phoenix Pale Ale is brewed by Sly Fox Brewing Company. This was their and our first foray into canned craft beer. We tried this beer against the Dale's Pale Ale from Oskar Blues, also in a can. Click here to see our companion review.
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: nice head disappates to a ring, deeper orange
Bryan: pours from can with a light brass color and medium head that sticks around for a while
Smell
Adam: not appealing, not off putting
Bryan: like a dirty lager
Taste
Adam: like a canned lager beer with tang
Bryan: not much upfront flavor; leaves an unpleasant aftertaste
Mouthfeel
Adam: not thin, well carbonated
Bryan: easily slides through the mouth; the best attribute of this beer
Drinkability
Adam: aftertaste kinda presents
Bryan: because of the taste, no
Seconds?
Adam: only if its up against coors light
Bryan: No, stick with the draft version of this decent recipe

I'm glad to see your review of this beer, I just had it recently and was not impressed with it. I had many of the same impressions that you had.
Dale's Pale Ale wins hands down.
