Commercial Description:
Pours a spectacular crimson red with a creamy tan head. Brewed with four varieties of Belgian caramel malts imparting a sweet richness. Reds Rye is impressively balanced with its hop bitterness and floral bouquet achieved from the dry hop. In the finish, the generous amount of malted rye used accentuates a spicy crisp finish.

Tap at Founders in a pint glass. Piney aroma. Opaque red with off-white foam. Lightly sweet and medium bitter. Thin feel, medium bodied, soft carbonation, and long bitter finish. Hoppy but not too hoppy. The rye with hops reminds me of gin. Big rye taste.

12oz. brown bottle served in a shaker pint. Pours a brilliant, reddish copper with about a finger of light tan head. Big piny hop aroma. Starts off with a solid malty base with some spicy rye. Great hop bite that is piny with some grapefruit. Long lingering finish with the hops. I’m glad this is available in my area now. This is a great beer.

12 oz bottle. hazy dark amber pour with a medium white head. aroma is pine, honey, floral and apricot. taste is spices, light honey, hops, rye and caramel. this is a strange rate. there is a lot going on but it blends so well together that it almost comes off as boring.... but in a good way... somehow. it’s definitely drinkable. I’d love to have a sixer for more study.

Pours amber with a medium off white foamy head. Aroma is nice toasted malt, some bready tones some caramel tones, resinous hop and lighter grapefruit hints. Flavour is the piney hop in the front, some sweet and sour maltiness with a medium bitter finish. Some sourish rye malt in the finish as well.

Beautiful beer. Clear copper pour with frothy white head. Dense hop aroma. Lots of caramel flavor followed with a dry, resiny hop finish.

Pours reddish amber with a rocky off white head. Aroma is big piney hops. Flavor is lots of hoppy goodness, with a good bit of malts, and a bit of spicy rye,
