Commercial Description:
A rich, smooth medium-bodied amber ale. We balance the complex maltiness of six varieties of toasted & caramel malts with the subtle bitterness of Cluster & Willametete hops. A luxury you can't afford to miss. Thanks for your support.

Dark amber color with a sweet malt flavor and mild hop. A nice beer, nothing offensive - and that's not good.

Sampled at Cellar’s Wine & Spirits mini tasting and shared by joebrew as Founder’s Red Eye Ale. Pours a hazy orange amber brew with a thick beige head that has some good retention. Aroma of caramel malt, some flowery hops wit a slight apple/pear character. Taste is medium bodied, lightly carbonated with flavors of fruity caramel malt, some citrusy hops and a touch of butterscotch. Finish is semi-sweet, dry hop bitterness and a slight fruit aftertaste flavor.

Dark Orange with White Blotchy Skin. Sweet and Dry Malt, Nice Hop Notes...Arguably the Centerpiece of this Brew..Some Dry Toasted Notes. Dry Crisp Finish. Nice.

Muddy deep amber colour with a frothy beige head. Malty, caramel sweet aroma with a light fruity and bready note. Malty, light sour flavor.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Hazy, amber golden with a gigantic, off-white head. Fruity aroma. Light-bodied with underlying, unclean notes of cheap candy. No bitterness. Quite unpleasant really. I sort of hope this was off. 291206
