Sly Fox Helles Golden Lager

This 4.9% ABV beer is from the Sly Fox Brewing Company of Pottstown, Pennsylvania. This can comes in a version where the whole top of the can comes off and you can use the can as your drinking cup. However, mine is the regular style of pull tab top.

The beer pours a clear pale golden and yellow in color. There is a tall head of white foam, both thick, yet fizzy at the same time. The aroma is straw, grass, golden grain and lager funkiness. The taste follows the aromas directly. It finishes moderately to quite bitter, with a very bracing and grassy finish. It is both smooth and crisply carbonated at the same time. This is as German tasting of a lager as you will find made in America. It is made with imported German pils malt and Saaz and Hallertauer hops. It is quite delicious!
