Commercial Description:
A testament to Cascade hops in a bottle. This medium-bodied pale ale has a distinctive floral hop aroma and refreshing citrus flavor. You’ll notice a slight malty sweetness with a balanced hop finish. Perfect to enjoy anytime, anywhere.

A new and impressive brewery out of Grand Rapids. The Founder’s boys do a more than good job.

My palate loves Cascade hops and like the commerical description states its a testament to Cascade. A perfect relaxing after-work beer. Plenty of floral citrus spice, hazy golden in a pint, nice head, balanced thoroughout. Very well made ale from the folks in Michigan, very well made indeed.

A very good pale ale. Not much for malt notes, slight hints of bread. Very hoppy for a APA, tastes very much of Cascades. Overall a very good beer.

I usually go for something darker, but this was damn good beer. The dry hopping really gives it a great smell and a complex yet delicate flavor.

Pour is golden with a huge rocky white head with plenty of lacing. Very attractive. Big fresh aroma of grass and dry hops. The flavor is surprisingly sweet. Sweet and nice clean hop background. Very interesting and different. Excellent.

ths beer was excellent. It had everything it should have had. Light crisp color, heady hops aroma with a hops bite that some IPA’s don’t have. Crisp dry smooth hops. great beer. If this is available....TRY IT.

One of the great APA’s. There’s nothing better than a Founder’s dry hopped on a Sunday afternoon while playing croquet and listening to reggae.
