on tap at the brewery. The waitress said that this was made by these two guys in a brewing contest. The prize was that the winner gets to have their beer made by founders. She said that it was supposed to be ala dreadnaught and I really really wish that she wouldnt have said that because it really doesnt compare to that. Standing alone this is very good. Clear copper with a thin white head. Nose is faint copper and hops. Taste is copperish hoppy and again thin. There is a sweetness with the malts that comes out more in the middle followed by some pine hops.

First IPA out of the NorthWest, sticky hop nose, super hop presence in the flavor, very tastey, seems to need a little bit more malt balance and character to realy pull it off, I didn’t even know they were calling it a dub until just now, oh those two

On tap at Founders, the winner of a local brewing contest, and a damned good one at that. Hazy orange body, medium cream head. Bitter piney, resiny hops dominated the aroma. Caramely, sweet bready malts provided a fine backbone for the bitter, piney hops. Rich body, somewhat sweet, and well-balanced for an I2PA. Long, bitter finish. Excels in competence, if not creativity.
