Beer Review: Sly Fox Chester County Bitter
I took my lovely wife out for a special lunch to Theresa’s Next Door in Wayne on Sunday. The beer choices are outstanding and today I indulged in one of my favorites, a bitter!!
The Sly Fox Chester County Bitter pours a rich copper with a thinner but rich head. The taste is the smooth malty flavor of a bitter with the low-alc % that is so desirable in a session ale.
The official Sly Fox description:
A cask only beer brewed to be poured exclusively from firkins, either via gravity from the bar top or through a beer engine. This traditional British ale is authentic cask conditioned beer with a smooth malt profile balanced by a subtle hop presence. Dry -hopping in the cask produces an enticing hop aroma in this quaffable session ale.
12.0 OG | 38 IBUs | 4.5% ABV
Really could have sat there all day and drank this. Man was it good. Not too often I get to have a bitter or mild. I like Session Ales.
Yeah, great beer and rare to find it outside of Sly Fox, good score!
