Potent, hoppy aroma, citrus/grapefruit and very crisp. Very hoppy flavor, with a slight sweetness -more true to an IPA style. The finish has a crisp, grapefruity and well-defined sharpness.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 13, 2008 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.
