Sep 10, 2008 Pours cloudy and orange-amber in color. A large foamy beige head settles to a thin film, wispy, sticky patches of lace adhering to the glass. Aromas include sweet orange marmalade, lemon and hints of lime rind, and perfumy flowers, all atop a lightly toasty toffee malt base. The flavor is less bitter than I expected, sweet fruity notes blending with just a mild dose of grassy and floral hops. The toffee is a bit too buttery, as well. Medium bodied, lightly carbonated, and a touch astringent on the finish. This one smells nice, but the flavor is a big disappointment. I’ve come to expect better from Founders.

Sep 9, 2008 12oz bottle. Poured orange with little / no head. Classic pale ale aroma. Noticeable hops but definitely not over the top. Short finish.

Sep 4, 2008 Orange amber body with a thick off white head. Aroma is pine and citrus with an underlying malty sweetness. The mouthfeel is smoother and creamier than I would have expected. There is some hoppy dryness up front, however. The flavor is extremely well balanced. Grapefruit and pine leads to some caramel sweetness. Fairly dry finish with little aftertaste. A nice pale ale.

Sep 1, 2008 Poured golden in color with a small white head. Very floral on the nose. Taste is a little hoppy, but kind of bland. Typical Pale Ale, which in my opinion is not very good.

Aug 26, 2008 Bottle. Clouded pumpkin orange with an off white head. Pine aroma, hops. Citrus and pine taste. Clean, bitter finish. A good, balanced IPA for those who aren’t looking for a beer that’s overly hoppy.
