Founders Reds Rye P.A.

Bottle from Eithcubes - Thanks! Pours a hazy deep amber with a large, creamy beige head. Thick lacing. Aromatic of citrus and pine, some maltiness present. Taste is deep and resinlike, mostly piney hops with a dry citrus tail. Doesn’t have the sweet malt backbone like IPA’s with this type of hops presence. A little caramel malt is detectable. Very pleasant and easily drinkable.

Cloudy red mahogany with big, foamy tan head / Malty, fruity hoppy nose / Medium, creamy hop body with excellent, spicy finish / Lively, almost delicate, flavors of orange peel, lemon, spicy rye, and pine, with big hop, malt, and burnt sugar finish / Spectacular rye American pale ale.

Poured a deep red with a large fluffy tan head. Aroma of malt and citrus maybe. Had a sweetness when it hit my palate with a little bitterness in the finish.

Pour a hazy red color with a fluffy off white head. Aroma of hops, wheat, sweet malt, and fruit. Complex. Taste started off with a light hop bitterness with fruit hints. Finished sweet. Well balanced.

This was a surprise. The old guy with glasses just staring at you daring you to drink this and you thinking " what you got geezer!" What he’s got lurking in this small bottle is a world of complexity just waiting to put a boot upside your head. Unlike the black the rye is a focus in this and all its wonderful spiciness can come out and blend well with the rich caramel malts. The hops only add to the richness, never do they compromise the balance. The mouthfeel is full and chewy with a lingering aftertaste. Nice.

Aroma of toffee, chocolate, and grapefruit. Pours auburn, hazy, and with a light tan head that has settled into a creamy 1/8 of an inch. Flavor is mostly grapefruit hops followed by an ever so mild roasty sweet maltiness. Definitley dominated by the hops, this beer is pretty chewy and resiny, but still not too heavy of a body. Not too balanced, but I like hops, so that is good in my book.

Pours a brownish red. Nice color accented with a beige fluffy head. The aroma is a extravaganza. Starts off with a big hop blast that gets rounded out with smooth malted rye. After this I notice a dry spiciness that lingers. The rye is a unique blend that gives a long almost smoked finish. Love it.

Great summer beer. Dark coppery rust color with strong lacing down the glass. Taste similar to an IPA with strong citrus and floral notes throughout. Aroma is hoppy, but faint overall. The aftertaste and finish is malty and sour but not sharp, which separates it from IPAs. Session beer at its finest.
