Good looking bottle, good looking out of the bottle. Creamy orange haze keeps you from making out anything on the other side of the glass; topped with a sticky white head. The smell starts of earthy, but gives way to a sweet floral smell with a little bit of citrus. The taste is well balanced, with a bit of bitterness throughout underscored by a touch of sweetness. Has a nice, full, creamy sort of feel, with the carbonation giving it a thickness rather than a fizziness, punctuated by a bite at the end. Overall, a tasty beer with looks to match.

Smells delicious with aromas of flowers and citrus. Rich and cloudy, this beer pours a reddish-tan color. Malty and resinous, Reds Rye leaves you with a crisp, bitter finish. Very nice IPA that will satisfy those hop heads that appreciate rye ales.

Big beige head. Deep amber body with carbonation. Deep citric resiny wooden aroma with perfumy spicy notes. Outstanding vividness. Dry-sweet resiny wooden citric taste with grassy oily fruity notes. Sharpish mouthfeel. Mid-bodied. Dryish wooden resin and pine needle aftertaste with lacquer and mint notes. Wonderfully vivid, clear, and distinct. (0.355l bottle, Vika wine monopoly, Oslo.)

a cloudy ruby red color with a few bits floating around. quarter sized head. nice floral aroma. sweet and hoppy taste. very crisp and has a lasting bitter flaver. founders never dissappoints.

355 ml bottle @ Konttori.
Pours a reddish brown colour witha small, white, patchy head. Aroma of sweet malts with some raisiny notes. Flavour of rye, floral hops, sweet malts and syrup. Quite good balance. Medium bodied with a thick, round mouthfeel. Indeed the best specialty grain I’ve tasted so far.

Pours amber with a beige head. Aroma is malt, caramel, citrus, grapefruit and light peach. Flavour is light caramel, citrus and grapefruit.

Poured from multiple 12 oz bottles - Look, this is a real deal rye here. Malty sweetness is there as advertised, and this is balanced fantastically with the spicy hops. Dry hopped, sweetness, and unique malted rye make this a superb treat.

Pours red amber. You can sense the rye spiciness in the aroma. Nice malt taste with rye spicy in the background and some nice hop bitterness. Tasty.

Bottle, bought in G.R. During RBSG 2010. Nice hop aroma, grass and citrus, with light caramel malts and some spiciness, probably from the rye. Deep, cloudy amber with a nice, low, tight head. Rich malts, caramel, rye I think! Creamy, smooth, very flavorful, with tons of hops. Hop flavor is earthy and a bit citrus, bitterness is huge! Delicious. Nice grainy character and spice from the rye. 

Darker Amber with a good offwhite head, Aroma of hops, sweet malt, flowers, citrus. Taste of heavy hops, grapefruit, some malt very nice balance perfect mouth feel, nice rye taste through till the end. Finishes rye and citrus hops. Very well done, expect nothing less from a brewery like founders.
