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.

This beer looks and smells awesome. However, not a good tasting beer. Sour and bitter, mayne it’s just a bad batch, but I don’t like.

(02.16.06) 12 oz bottle from Archer Liquors, Chicago, IL. Hazy red hued rye ale having a small white head. Nice fruity/hoppy aroma. Medium-to-full bodied ale that starts with light malt sweetness and spicy/fruity/toffee/hop flavors. Finishes dry with lingering hop (grapefruit) flavor and bitterness. Well balanced. Delicious giant beer. Another excellent offering from Founder’s.

Drank from a Pilsner. Murky red color with 2 fingers of fluffy light tan head. Pine aroma. Slightly sweet with peppery bitter bite and long lasting bitter aftertaste. I will drink this again.

Floral citrus hop aroma with some sweet tea like notes. Clear, slight haze, deep amber golden/copper. Grassy floral hop flavor dominates along with caramel maltyness. Medium almost full mouthfeel. Finish is moderately sweet with moderate residual bitterness. Excellent beer.

Pour was a nice golden amber color. Nose filled with a wonderful mix of huge hops and rye. Taste is simlar but malts kick in to give it a superb mouthfeel. I really enjoyed this badboy.

Clear amber color...Lasting white head...Pine and citrus hop aroma...Medium body, low carbonation lends an almost creamy mouthfeel...Malt flavor of caramel upfront...Hops kick in in the finish...Long citrus and bitter finish...

On tap @ Binny’s South Loop. Cloudy light brown color, red hues, big creamy tan head. Floral and hoppy aroma. Well balanced smooth taste. Creamy head gives way to a nice maltiness and finishes with a bitter tasty hop bite. A bit sweet and now the caramel comes out the second time around. Flavors don’t linger enough. Overall solid but not great.
