DLD ’08: Growler thanks to Chris: Pours a clear gold with a white head. Aroma, pale malts, grassy notes, grains, and some yeast. Flavor, yeast, some fruits, grains, malty and grassy. Not bad.

Draft at Founders. Clear golden body with a small white head. Light biscuity and herbal nose. Flavor is lightly sweet, some cracker, herbal and floral hops. Medium/light body is a touch thin with moderate carbonation.

Tap at brewpub: Light golden hue with a fizzy head and some lace. The aroma has notes of biscuity pale malt, mineral water, a hint of pear ester, dusty yeast and a touch of DMS. The taste is mild and grainy, a touch of sweet bread with a light handed noble hop finish with some fruity acidity in support. The mouth feel is sprite and refreshing with a chalky finish. Outside of of the noticeable DMS component this is not a bad brew.

On draft at the brewpub: Not bad, but one of the weakest Founders beers I have had. Pours yellow with a small head. Aroma of hops and corn. Taste the same.
