Commercial Description:
A rich, smooth medium-bodied amber ale. We balance the complex maltiness of six varieties of toasted & caramel malts with the subtle bitterness of Cluster & Willametete hops. A luxury you can't afford to miss. Thanks for your support.

Pours mahogany with a thin tan head. Smells of caramel, some fruity hints, resiny. Tastes sweet with caramel and some peppery splashes dominating a bitter finish.

12 oz. bottle - Poured a deep amber color with medium head. Aroma - sweet, cotton candy, herbal hops, caramel malt and bubblegum. Flavor - A mixture of sweet and sour flavor. Palate - light to medium mouthfeel. Lively and soft carbonation with short finish with little aftertaste. Overall - I am quite surprised by low ratings. I realli enjoyed this beer and would purchase again.

Sampled at Cellar’s Wine & Spirits mini tasting and shared by joebrew as Founder’s Red Eye Ale. Pours a hazy orange amber brew with a thick beige head that has some good retention. Aroma of caramel malt, some flowery hops wit a slight apple/pear character. Taste is medium bodied, lightly carbonated with flavors of fruity caramel malt, some citrusy hops and a touch of butterscotch. Finish is semi-sweet, dry hop bitterness and a slight fruit aftertaste flavor.

Dark Orange with White Blotchy Skin. Sweet and Dry Malt, Nice Hop Notes...Arguably the Centerpiece of this Brew..Some Dry Toasted Notes. Dry Crisp Finish. Nice.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Hazy, amber golden with a gigantic, off-white head. Fruity aroma. Light-bodied with underlying, unclean notes of cheap candy. No bitterness. Quite unpleasant really. I sort of hope this was off. 291206
