Bottle from Fox Tale back at the hotel. Lo-ball glass. Somewhat hazy, fruit punch pour, edging purple. Blueberry skin, cherry, wheat, pennies. Serious pith astringency, overshadowing the middling soft berry sourness that rolls into metallic, grainy endtrails salt. Okay carbonation. Oversteeped or something. Not good.

Wine glass @Fox Farm. Clear, pale gold. Weak, slightly old, malty pale ale nose. Mellow, if slightly underwhelming. Hops aren't bright, malt comes off a little syrupy & sweet. More like an over the hill pale with a underwhelmed hop bouquet. Carbonation is even a bit soft. Week one of the night.

Wine glass @Fox Tale. Frothy, glossy amber pour. Basic middle of the road pine & citrus nose. Slightly minty, lingering bittersweet pine, bit of lingering mellow lime pith. Nothing crazy, but crispy, clean & refreshing. Okay to good.

Short pour @Fox Tale. Clear, bright, pale gold pour. Pithy& pine nose. Basic here. Bittersweet initially, it goes into unfamiliar full herbal mode halfway in. Slightly savory more than full blown corn. Unique. Crispy. All their pours are around the same psi. Okay to good.

Short pour & Fox Tale. Clear, amber-ish pour. Fermenting orange juice in the carton nose. More nectarine than peach. Sour, sharp, lime-y, very zesty, very bright, peach skin & some quick pickling. Pretty good.

Short pour @Fox Tale. Clear, if slightly jellied pale amber. Mute herbal & sweet lemon nose. I'm obviously ignorant here, but it tastes like a corn lager with some florals & an interesting lemon-ish sourness. Initially crisp, it ends up a little slick & boozy. Like.

Short pour @Fox Tale. Cloudy, pale orange pour. Acidic, lemon, sweet n sour nose. Taste is bitter orange, lime, mineral water. Decently juicy, sour with just a bit of sweetness to round it out. Mimosa-ish. Maybe back sweetened? Prickly & refreshing. Boozy finish. Good.

On tap @Fox Tale. Wine glass. Clear, medium gold, lacy. Herbal, bittersweet nose. Not getting much that's specific. Taste is pine, herbal, barely noticable green tea, big corn flavor, some acid but I don't get the Meyer lemon or much lacto. Crispy, lightly yeasty, not too bitter, easy. Fine.
