Apr 17, 2008 12 oz bottle thanks to AllAboutStout. Hazy yellow/orange with a decent head. Lots of pine and grassy aromas. Citrus in there too. Similar flavor with more floral than citrus. Very tasty.

Apr 16, 2008 murky and floral with moderate pine notes and grapefruit. slightly off balance and wonderful this beer is a hop heads delight. rich with appropriate maltiness this has the volume to stick it right to the back of the throat. body and finish these folks know beer and how to do it right.

Apr 14, 2008 Bottle. Pours a cloudy orange with a decent off white head. Aroma is flowery, hoppy, and a bit citrusy but overall not very strong. The taste is rich and strong. The maltiness works with the hops although it is a bit too sour. Palate was thick and full with a strong hop bite.

Apr 8, 2008 Poured burnt orange and pretty hazy with a medium head.
Very hoppy with a bit if citrus.
A pretty strong hoppy taste with a bit of a bitter finish.
Thick and only slightly bubbly.
This is a very drinkable IPA and would definitely recommend.

Apr 5, 2008 12oz bottle. Pours a hazy, earthy-orange color; very light khaki head with solid retention and fine-bubbled lacing. Solid, resiny oranges and citrus and a touch of earthy hops in the aroma; hop-forward, chewy stuff. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: chewy oranges and sticky candy sugar and some earthiness underneath; nice resiny hoppiness and a touch of breadiness and orange zest in the finish.

Apr 1, 2008 12oz bottle from Warehouse, Cleveland. With my relatively limited experience with Founders, I’ve tended to associate them with dark, winter-oriented brews (e.g. KBS, Curmudgeon, Deca). I was pleasantly surprised to drink this flavorful, exceptionally creamy IPA. Surely an appropriate name, immediately evident in both nose and flavor. Traces of pine are there, but mostly a citrus bomb, really benefiting from the substantial body. Very fine.
