Commercial Description:
A testament to Cascade hops in a bottle. This medium-bodied pale ale has a distinctive floral hop aroma and refreshing citrus flavor. You’ll notice a slight malty sweetness with a balanced hop finish. Perfect to enjoy anytime, anywhere.

pours a yellowish gold light body with some sediment. has a huge three finger white head and descent lacing.aroma is very small malt hops with a little caramel. flavor is caramel malt with small hops really sweet for a pale ale. not my thing with it being so sweet an average pale ale was expecting a little more hops.

Significant white head on grapefruit copper. One dimension understated IPA based on cascade hops, malted. A good though drying taste from all the malt.

No. 775. Bottle. Yeah, this is all about the cascade. Rich golden pour with a frothy white head. Citrus and grapefruit nose spills over into the taste, which is nicely malty and moderately bitter. Dry spicy end lasts for a good while. Medium-full body. Nice baseline PA for comparison, wonderful go-to/stock beer.

well, I guess it was bound to happen. after eleven other brews from Founders, all of which I really enjoy, I found one I can’t stand. nose of lemon grass, orange peel and some pine. appearance is a clear gold with a HUGE, and I mean HUGE white foamy head. flavor is rather dull and muted with some mild caramel malt and the aforementioned citrus and pine hops. way too much carbonation here for me. glad I only picked up the one bottle.

Cloudy orange pour with a rim of white bubbles that I guess are the head. Aroma is nice and hoppy, with a tinge of sweat toffee. Nice hoppy flavor, it grows until it peaks before a slow finish. The Flavor is highlighted by citrus, and the finish has a grassy character. Nice medium bodied ale.

Bit watery and not as much hops or dryness as I like but ok. Grass and lemon notes nice. Bland next to my favorite APA’s
