Jun 8, 2007 A deep amber pour with a large off white head that breaks down pretty quickly. An aroma that says hops clearly with a hint of spices. A flavor that rolls with a hop bitter from the start with just a tad of malty sweetness sliding in as well. A very nice hoppy bitter finsih that really sets this beer off. A palate that is smooth and soft but not fizzy. Overall a very good beer.

Jun 7, 2007 It has a nice blend of spice from the hops and tangy-ness from the rye. Sweet, but well balanced. TheShat really nailed the tea character in this beer. Good Stuff.

Jun 4, 2007 Bottle pours a beautiful copper color with a good head. Aroma is sweet and malty. The flavor is of sweet malt with a touch of rye flavor. This beer almost has a tea like quality. Very tasty! The finish is smooth and refreshing with a touch of rye bitterness. A winner!

Jun 3, 2007 Malted caramel aroma. Nothing more. Red-brown color with a frothy tan head. Lots of floaters in the glass. Not used to that in a Founder’s brew. Nice crisp, frothiness on the tongue. Very full hoopy bitter taste here. This could be an IPA. Pleasant bitter ending make this a very drinkable beer, One with lots of character

Jun 2, 2007 Drank right at Founders brewery on a beautiful sunny day. The pour on this is great with compact head on top of an amazing ruby red body-I dont think that I have seen many beers like this. Nice hoppy smell but not too overpowering with a bit of fruitiness maybe too. There isnt too much hoppiness in the taste but more of a malty taste, but all very clean and smooth. Unfortunately I cant comment too much more on this beer as I dont drink alot of rye beers so there may or may not be some of that in there too. I did enjoy this beer though and I will definitely have it again.

Jun 1, 2007 Bottle. Rye and pine hops aroma. Cloudy reddish amber color with an insanely big blonde head that has staying power. Very strong rye flavor with a citrusy hops mixed in. Nice blending - the hops and rye mingle nicely.

Jun 1, 2007 Rated 12/31/06: Hopped like an APA with an incredible dryness, one fine brew. Hoppy aroma half pine, half grapefruit and citrus. Nice amber pour huge off white head that stays around 1/2" in thickness, lots of web-like lacing. Dry finish, very full and satisfying on the palate. Good all around flavor lots of malts, the strength of the hops seems to mask the flavor of the rye at first but eventually the rye is detected. Real good malt presence, great beer.

Jun 1, 2007 Bottle sampled at Capones, pour red/amber with a decent size light tan head. Aroma of citrus, caramel malts, hops, and rye. The flavor is smooth, caramel, slight sweetness, nice hoppy kick, and rye. Good brew.
