Sly Fox - Incubus

A Tripel in the Abbot style, famed for its powers of seduction. Brewed with German Pils malt and invert sugar. Golden in color, dry and spicy.

I first reviewed this brew with a few friends back in 2009.

This review was done the summer of 2011 after I purchased a mixed case of Sly Fox's 22oz beers (Incubus, Ichor, Saison VOS and Raspberry Reserve)

The ABV is 10.3 and the IBU rating is 39
Style - Tripel
Glass to use- Snifter, Tulip or Goblet
Delivery 750ml bottle.

Can be cellared for long periods, under the proper conditions.

The Pour - Pours a straw color with a white head.  Good lacing.
Aroma - Fruity, hoppy and bready.
Taste - Hoppy, some spices and fruits.  Has a slight metallic after taste.
Mouth Feel - High carbonation, medium body.  Fizzy.
Drinkable - An average triple in my opinion. But still a good beer to have once in a while.  I personally prefer the Sly Fox quad (Ichor). 

This beer pairs with white meat and strong cheeses.

This beer gets a Duper rating of B-.
BeerAdvocate Rating = B+
Ratebeer Rating = 93
