3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Poured a couldy orange-amber with a very foamy head. Aroma was grapefruity hops with a grainy spice note underneath. Smooth, even palate. Taste of grapefruity hops with a grainy spice note from the rye that lingers nicely on the tongue. Different, but very good.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Orange-amber, large long lasting white head, excellent lacing.
Aroma is lightly rye, soapy, moderate sweetness.
Flavour is sweet, light alcohol, floral hops, perfume.
Lightly bitter mouthfeel, soft body, moderate carbonation.
Finishes fairly quick, sweet.
More caramel than rye, soft but clean.

4.1 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours with a nice frothy head. Dark amber in color. Strong aroma of grapefruit and rye. Nice hoppy flavor. Great beer if you enjoy hop’s and rye as I do.
4.3 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Wow I had no clue what to expect from this one, but it exceeded pretty much any expectation I could have conceived of. Pours a vibrant semi-transparent orange-brown with a lightly browned head, beautiful. Smell is pure wildness, hoppy, fruity, kind of a ginger-like character. Taste is perfectly balanced as I’ve come to expect from Founder’s (fine, so actually I had one expectation) and unlike anything I’ve ever tried. Very unique, and I’m not quite sure what its deal is but clearly this brew was perfectly executed. One of the best I’ve had in a long time.

Bottle:
Pours a shimmering amber- red hazy ale in the glass...1finger beige cap lasts and laces.
Nose is spicy (from the rye and hops) over some toffee tones...very interesting.
Spicey-bready tones, some sweetness, fruit notes, ...finishes up drt and very spicy-hoppy.
Great unique beer....first class!

Very hazy red-amber beer. Decent creamy tan head. Airy palate, semi crisp and semi dry. Bitterish orange marmalade but also with a little sweet orange and subtle pine. Spicy rye malt cream. Semi dry finish and a bitterish aftertaste. Nicely joined up and hugely quaffable.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Draft. Pours clear amber with a moderate off-white head. Aroma of hops, grapefruit, rye, yeast, bread, and malt. Medium to leght bodied. Clean, smooth mouthfeel. Crisp, airy finish. Good brew.
4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Smells of hops, florals and caramel. Hoppy, bitter with some sweetness. Hops lingers on with a nice smoothness. This is a really nice beer.
