Sep 21, 2009 Bottle at Map Room. This copper ale poured with a modest clinging off-white head and a pine aroma. There is a nice caramel malt flavor with extremely mellow (oxymoron) hop balancing. Very smooth and tasty.

Sep 20, 2009 Poured a clear gold brown color with a minimal amount of fizzy white head. Aroma is sugared citrus and flowers. Flavor has a sweet malt base with a ton of orange citrus flavor. Not too bitter hoppy, but rather really really citrusy and sweet. Overall, enjoyable.

Sep 20, 2009 Pours a clear copper with a moderate, white head that leaves some slippery lacing. The nose is mostly pine and citrus, some light pineapple, slightly floral, and has some caramel malt to it. Starts out sweet in the mouth, but quickly fades to hops and bitterness. I like the hop profile in this. It complements the malt very well and is also very tasty. One of the more solid IPA’s I’ve had.

Sep 19, 2009 Delightful citrus aroma of orange, grapefruit, and rose hips. Cloudy, dark golden, full of floaties, thin head, some lacing. The flavor of honeycomb goes straight to the head. Rose hip and grapefruit notes abound.Bitter strawberry finish. The sweet honey, tart grapefruit and bitter rose hip flavors blend in perfect harmony. This may be too perfumey for some, but I absolutely LOVE this beer! Truly outstanding.

Sep 17, 2009 I find this IPA one of the best I have tried. Very well balanced and hoppy. Great head and good flavor. I hope that I one day can try this great beer on tap.

Sep 14, 2009 Almost no aroma, draft. Dark yellow/amber light pour, light carbonation. Med. body. Very bitter- it gives you that bitter feeling int he back of your mouth. It’s pretty overpowering, too over the top to be really enjoyable for me.

Sep 9, 2009 The dry hopping contributes largely to the aroma and the flavor. As explained in the description, it really is never too bitter, which is impressive and really makes it an excellent IPA overall. The color is a beautiful reddish brown ale. Founders NEVER disappoints.
