May 30, 2009 Bottle. Clear, dark golden pour with a medium head. Big earthy/herbal hop aroma as well as some citrus. Similar flavor, lots of piney hops with a touch of sweetness. Not quite as well balanced as I’d like. Still, I love hops and this definitely has ’em!

May 28, 2009 Location:Draft from RFDs, 5/23/09
Aroma: Lots of citrus in the nose, some pine/earth, some sugar in there too
Appearance: Hazy orange/golden color
Flavor: Drier and more earthy hops then the nose would have lead me to believe, a nice hop flavor on this one
Palate: Medium body, smooth
Overall Impression:
I enjoyed this one, a really nice IPA, first sniff it was all citrus, but the taste is much drier and mostly piney hops. It works pretty well...

May 23, 2009 Bottle - This is just a great IPA. It has everything you want in a great IPA, so I won’t list them. Only improvements could be non-twist off bottle and a sharper finish.

May 18, 2009 12oz bottle from dmschefke, thanks Dave! Slightly hazy orangish color with a nice white head. Nice citrus hop aroma, very enjoyable. Decent mild hop flavor, not as upfront as I was expecting, but very good otherwise.

May 16, 2009 WOW! Killer IPA! Has a nice cloudy gold color. Smells of hops and citrus with a little bit of floral scents. Taste is intense with hops and a little bit of malts. A great brew. Founders is starting to show me that they might belong with the likes of dogfish head and certain others.

May 16, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours a deep, amber/golden brown with a two-finger off-white, almost tan head. Sweet, floral hop flavor with hints of grapefruit citrus. Great, hop mouthful with a hint of citrus that lingers along with some a late-comer malt flavor. A very good IPA, the best I’ve had in a while, although certainly not the best I’ve ever had.

May 15, 2009 This is a pretty decent IPA. It poured a caramel gold color with a medium-light head that dissipated after a short while. In fact, 2/3 of the way in to the beer, It still has a bit of the head left. Never the less, it has very piny aroma, not too much citrus at all. It tastes on the bitter side, with a much stronger pine taste than I am accustomed to. I enjoy this beer quite a bit. I would try it again, for sure!
