About six years ago, I started collecting labels and/or caps from ales and lagers that I sampled during my travels. When I go to a new city, I try to visit the local microbreweries and, if possible, take a tour. When people come to visit, they bring new beer for me to try. I am not a home brewer, just a consumer. These are my observations about the ales and lagers that I have sampled.

Sly fox
I've tried a number of Sly Fox ales (pre-blog), but I don't think I've tried this one before because I'm relatively new to the IPA world. I liked this -- thought it was pretty citrusy, and it reminded me of a Six Point Resin, which I also like. I have three saved in the fridge and I'm pretty sure I will make good use of them!
I started experimenting with microbrews about ten years ago. Before that, I thought that staying away from the macrobrews meant that I appreciated beer. I was wrong. I started trying stouts before moving on to doppelbocks, wheat ales, witbiers, Belgian tripels, farmhouse ales and sour ales. I am not much of an IPA fan, but my appreciation of hops is maturing. I am not an expert, I just know what I like, or, more accurately, what I don't like. I hope you find this informative, but I would settle for entertaining.
Time to update your "about me" now that you like IPAs...
