Founders Devil Dancer Triple IPA

Brewed by Founders Brewing Company
Style: Imperial/Double IPA
Grand Rapids, Michigan USA

Bottle brought back for Christmas by my brother. Poured a really nice amber/red color with off white head. Aroma was both strong in malt and hops; citrus and caramel. Almost smelled like an american strong ale. Flavor was similar to the aroma, and was very bitter, even for the style. Alcohol was well hidden considering the percent. Some caramel and sweetness throughout. Solid represenation of the style.

Good red body with no head served in a snifter at the brewpub. There is a strong citrus hop aroma. The flavor matches the aroma, but with a very pronounced hop bitterness in addition to the hop flavor. The malty background manages to balance this beer somehow. It is surprising light for the flavor; around medium body.

pretty much a hop bomb in a bottle.Pours amber with hops on th enose.Started of semi swey then the hops busted through.big hoppy finish.

12-oz. Pours crystal clear dark amber with a thick, poofy off-white head. Plenty of webby lace. Modest little candied orange pith nose. Attractive, but unprepossessing. Medium body, some carb. Big resiny wallop right from the getty. Sweet caramel undertones, but mostly lots of resin and pine on the mid-palate, swirling into a piney and resinous finish. No sign of the booze at any point. Not half bad.

Bottle. Amber-orange color with a oily head. Like sersdf said, 100 times better than 120 minute IPA. So much more balanced and not syrupy. It’s a suped up DIPA, which is what it should be. Floral, grapefruit, really good finish. Really, really good.

Bottle. orange red color. Strong grapefruit and red berries aroma. Oily hops, lemon, grapefruit en red berries in the flavor, so abundant that it attacks and almost conquers the alcoholic character of this beer. Oily hoppy peppery aftertaste with red berries. A big beer in all aspects, but still with a good balance.

12 oz bottle at Capone’s in Norristown, PA. So, First I had Hop Devil, and I thought that was pretty hoppy. Then I had Double Simcoe and the Hop Monster and thought THOSE were hoppy. Devil Dancer is another level of bitter hoppiness above that. Pours a reddish brown - aroma is pure hops. The taste is intense - I can best describe it as flaming hops, as the heavy 13.2% alcohol comes through a bit along with the raw bitterness. Really powerful stuff, you might want to work up to this one with some of those weak double IPAs first. Around $74/Case in PA.

The color was a hazy medium amber. The head was creamy, off-white, and thin. The aroma was very hoppy, citrisy, and pine. The flavor was alcohol, hopps, a slight waxyness/bitterness at the back of the mouth, citris, and pine. The palate was thick-bodied. The finish was warm and hoppy.
