this was a deep amber with a nice biegie head. nice citrus and malt aroma. Medium bodied,with a taste of caramel malt sweetness, fruitness,and a definite citrus hop bite in the finish. I don'tknow how much to style this is, but it was quite an enjoyable brew.

Had this on tap at Jamesport brewery. They have a guest tap that recently has featured Founders stuff and this is great - gives me a chance to catch Founders’ seasonals from far away. This one wasn’t that impressive, dark and funky, with a significant clash (rather than a balance) between malt and hops. Both are strongly present, but their controversy (which I’d say the malt wins) leaves a kind of unclean sensation, the residue of a battlefield you might say.
