Founders Reds Rye P.A.

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

(bonus brew from styles)poured into a sifter and was shown a murky orange body with a nice white head that left some lacing.my nose could pick up grapefruit like hops,red kool-aid,and white grape juice.flavor was a mix of dry hops,red kool-aid(or red punch)and a bit of earth.mouthfeel was on the medium side and the finish was dry.

12 oz. bottle Gregis brought back for me from Corral in IL. Pour is red with soft orange highlights. Nice, fluffy tan head. Aroma is the rye, hay and some earthy hops. Taste is primarily dry slightly sweet malt and a nice sharp rye bite. Nice bitter hop finish.

Reddish-dark amber and cloudy color wiht a medium head. Aroma is sweet & hoppy - bread, honey, and citrus-floral hops detectable. Flavor is well balanced between rye and sweet, bready malts and some nice citrusy hop tastes. Smooth and refreshing with a nice hop blast. Reminds me of a good English IPA or a sweet ASA. Good brew.

Courtesy of strykzone, this poured a cross between amber and orange, with a foamy long lasting white head, and excellent lacing. The nose is caramel malts with some light rye, and some floral hops. . Medium mouthfeel with some good body. Flavor is sweet from the caramel malts, and again the floral hops.. Lightly bitter mouthfeel, soft body, moderate carbonation. Finish is dry and lively.

Pours dark amber with a decent off-white head. Has a nice pine hops aroma and maybe a little floral. Flavor is very well balanced hops and malt with some spice from the rye. Had good lacing. Very surprised overall, only because I didn’t know what to expect. Very good brew overall.

TN tasting at maniac’s. Reddish amber pour. Great floral hop nose. Very much follows in flavor. Well balanced. This is the first rye beer that i’ve thought " Wow, I like this". Medium chewy body. Impressed here.

12 oz. from Bruisin’. Pours copper with a small white head. The nose is very hoppy and citrus leaning. Tons of rye is also apparent. This is pretty much just bread and citrus. Taking a sip allows the flavor to follow suit appropriately. It is dry, bitter, floral, and citrusy. Hints are made at biscuits, rye, pine, and grapefruit. This is very well done with a very distinct focus on rye.

I was really digging the whole package with this beer. Truly a delight to consume and sooo easy to enjoy. Founders is always suprising me with beers that I don’t know much about (since in California) so it’s like a little suprise each time I have a Founders I haven’t had.

The beer pours a dark garnet hue in my glass with a 1" off-white head. Tons of rye bread notes in the aroma with a heaping dose of fruity hops. Caramel malt also asserts itself in the nose. The rye sweetness is carried on in the flavor of the beer and it’s balanced nicely with the even-handed bittering hops. Also the toasted malt angle was really something I could dig into. Very nice.
