Founders Pale Ale

Brewed by Founders Brewing Company
Style: American Pale Ale
Grand Rapids, Michigan USA

Serve in Lager glass, Shaker

Very earthy (as most Founder’s beers tend to be) and floral. The hops in this fine pale ale grab you by the pallet and make you scream. The alcohol content of this brew is not too much not too little. It’s right in the middle where you wouldn’t be too afraid to have a few but just enough to keep you from having too much. I recommend this beer as an "after work, i need to chill after a hard day, and very long bike commute". If you don’t believe, give it a swill!

A new and impressive brewery out of Grand Rapids. The Founder’s boys do a more than good job.

UPDATED: APR 2, 2008 My palate loves Cascade hops and like the commerical description states its a testament to Cascade. A perfect relaxing after-work beer. Plenty of floral citrus spice, hazy golden in a pint, nice head, balanced thoroughout. Very well made ale from the folks in Michigan, very well made indeed.

A very good pale ale. Not much for malt notes, slight hints of bread. Very hoppy for a APA, tastes very much of Cascades. Overall a very good beer.

I usually go for something darker, but this was damn good beer. The dry hopping really gives it a great smell and a complex yet delicate flavor.

bottle. pours hazy orange gold with a lasting, cakey, white head. aroma of lemons and light grassy hop. taste is dry grapefruit and a moderate bitter. mild carbonation. this is just a perfect balance of aromas, flavors, bitter, carbonation. its crisp and clean. just a fantastic pale ale.

Pour is golden with a huge rocky white head with plenty of lacing. Very attractive. Big fresh aroma of grass and dry hops. The flavor is surprisingly sweet. Sweet and nice clean hop background. Very interesting and different. Excellent.

ths beer was excellent. It had everything it should have had. Light crisp color, heady hops aroma with a hops bite that some IPA’s don’t have. Crisp dry smooth hops. great beer. If this is available....TRY IT.
