Commercial Description:
Founders most complex, most innovative, most feared and yet most revered ale produced. Massive in complexity the huge malt character balances the insane amount of alpha’s used to create this monster. More IBU’s than any brewery has documented, more than you would believe and dry-hopped for twenty-six days straight with a combination of 10 hop varieties. Dangerously drinkable and deliciously evil. We dare you to dance with the Devil. 112 IBUs

pours clear amber with a small head. aroma is sweet with pineapple and fruity. mouthful is HUGE with hoppy bitterness but with pineapple always coming to the front. this is a big DIPA with some serious finish that lingers on. the abv is well integrated and does not take away from the hop bomb.

( 12oz bottle) Pours clear amber with no head and good lace. Nose is fantastic, tropical hops, mango, alcohol, and pineapple. Taste is super hoppy, oily, pretty hot on the alcohol. Overall it’s both too sweet and too hoppy. No balance here. Too much all the way around. A bitter oily finish, but I would describe this beer as complex.

Bottle. Pours a very hazy dark amber. Just beautiful looking. Incredibly bitter and loaded with hops. Tastes simply amazing. No alc. taste in it, but you can feel it running through your body. So be careful if you taking on more then one of these bad boys. Just blown away by how delicious this brew was. More please!

Poured with a big, foamy, frothy, off-white head and loads of lace. Color is a very slightly hazy deep amber. Aroma is a citrus and apple hop and some malt. Flavor’s about the same with a little butterscotch. Mouth is quite soft. Very bitter finish. Some flavors here that clash to me. Liked other Founders stuff much better. Not a session beer.

This beer was really over the top for me...the flavor comes across as too sweep. The hop aroma is really awesome, but I just can’t get past the sweetness, almost cloying to me. Not a bad beer, but definitely not an every day beer.

This wasn’t my favorite impy IPA, but a good one. The characteristic I didn’t appreciate the most was the overly malty profile. There was defintely a great amount of hops in this beer, but the huge malt profile overwhelmed the beer. It poured a dark amber color with a big beige head. The head left a minimal amount of lacing around the glass. This was certainly more of a sipping DIPA. It was a good one, but not one of my favorites.

BPW #2 Beer sampled from a 12 oz bottle thanks to Andy. Appearance is a red toned golden with a little white head. Nose is full of piney hopes, cinnamon and pine. Flavors are bitter sweet. Nice pine and grapefruit, orange rind. Mouth is dry with a moderate sting. This is a nice intense hop bomb.
