Founders Reds Rye P.A.

Brewed by Founders Brewing Company
Style: Specialty Grain
Grand Rapids, Michigan USA

As you can imagine, it is a red beer. Yeasty smell and taste at first followed by hints of raspberry throughout the finishing. The bittering hops used gives it a delicate tart taste. Has a nice smooth pour with little to no head. I wish I could find it on sell here around my home

Bottle as gift from GF, she has actually bought me the bottles for the last two remaining styles I had yet to drink. Darker brown, almost hazy with small to medium beige head. Light grapefruit and pine hop aroma dominates with some caramel malt presence. Very nice pine hop flavor mixes well with a sort of earthy rye malt, caramel, medium sweet front that dries out pretty quickly, pretty floral as well. Medium creamy body. A nice earthy and hoppy rye from Founders, they do not dissapoint.

Pours a slightly hazed amber topped by a smallish beige head, no lacing. Aroma is smack you in the face pine, pineapple, caramel and light rye. Flavor is moderately sweet but has a nice bitterness to counteract. Mostly pineapple, grapefruit, caramel, some rye and light lemon. Medium body with a sticky texture. Medium carbonation.

I love rye beers and this one is a longterm favorite. 12 loz bottle pours a hazed copper body with an attractive beige head that laces quite well. Bold aroma of florals, pine, and fresh orange. Creamy medium body with an ideal level of carbonation. Taste is complex. Plenty of hop bitterness with an assertive toffee maltiness to balance. Spicy and earthy rye adds a distinct element that really sets this one apart. Floral, pine, and citrus hops notes throughout. Exceptional ale!

Aroma of caramel, toffee, and a lot of grain. Smelled like a Scottish ale. Taste had a bit more hop character and a little spice character. Smooth finish. I liked the balance this one had to offer. Would probably buy again.

bottle pours an orange coopery colour with a small tan head. aroma is wonderful mix of great malts and pine hops. a very balanced aroma that i really like. flavour si outstanding of mince bitter earthy pine hops and a great malt flavour soem rye that creates a nice palate. fantastic mix of both. a great ale and another reason i love rye beers.

Pours a very unique, cloudy cranberry-crimson red color. A dense layer of spongy, cream colored foam crowns the top. Ribbony sheets of lacing circle the glass, coating it well. Background notes of malty, burnt caramel balance out substantial floral and earthy hops. Rye imparts its signature dry sharpness, which works very well over the subtle sweet caramel malt. Dried apricot adds a fruity element, completing the aroma. Flavors are similar, though more intense. The rye really emerges, combining with the floral hops to impart a dry bitterness that lingers on the back of the tongue. The balance is wonderful. Medium bodied and smooth, this one really satisfies on all levels. This is a very enjoyable, unique brew.

16 oz, on tap at Vintage. Pours amber with a 1 cm off-white head. Aroma is a sweeter citrus and a little malt. Initial flavor is a bold maltiness, slight rye and hop notes. Flavor becomes drier at the end. The taste is by far the best part of this red ale. Some lacing, light carbonation, light to medium body, and well hidden alcohol. Drinks well and will continue to consume as long as its on tap.
