Founders Reds Rye P.A.

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

Aroma of fruity, citric hops (Centennial, seemingly), strong grapefruit and lemon notes with lighter hints of spice and toasty malt. Hazy deep red color with a lasting, creamy head and impressive lacing. Massively hoppy flavor profile, juicy, resinous and fruity, the middle seeing some balancing dark malt sweetness and finishing dry with a blend of intense hop bitterness and citric flavor and spicy, faintly minty rye. Palate is lush and full, body is medium. Very much like a dark IPA with added rye and quite a treat for any hop lover.

Positivley love the color of this beer .. this is the amber color that all beers attempting to do so should strive for. Some spiciness in the aroma, but not sure if it hop or rye derived. I will say that the hops seemed a little strong and tended to overpoewer the hops. Still the spiciness is their, lingering in the background. This beer was very quaffable and I could see drinking many of these!

Hazy red-brown body with a spectacular thick, rocky long-lasting tan head. Fresh citrusy hop aroma with pine sap and sticky caramel accents. I was hoping for some rye in the aroma but no luck. Thick resinous hops coat the tongue with roasty, spicy rye notes on top. Caramel backbone throughout. I’d like to age this stuff, the hop bite is pretty sharp, but maybe the malt isn’t big enough to come forward. Regardless, this stuff is damn tasty.

Draught: Lightly sweet aroma. Smells of floral hops and Amarillos. Poured red with a hint of amber in color with a big, dense, creamy, light brown head that lasted throughout. Clear. Very sparkling. Flavor is bitter. Tastes of Amarillo hops, spice (like hot pepper), and caramel malts. Medium body. Strange, thick, gluey texture. Lively carbonation. Bitter Amarillo finish. Overall, tasty.

#1000. Bottle. Reddish body, tan head, fruity, spicy nose. Fruity, spicy, quaffable. very nice.

Its red, as the name suggests. Thin tan head. Spicy aroma, with a hint of sweetness. Big dose of citrus pine, as well. Big hop flavors up front that meld into orange, pine, caramel and I’m gonna say rye. again, as the name suggests. Thanks to Springslicker for sharing!

Deep amber in color with a large off-white head. aroma is of spicy hops. Flavor is of spicy rye,malt,roasted and toasted malt.

Wow, having not read the commercial description here or any previous ratings, I was not prepared for this hop assault. Actually, though, this is very solid all the way around. Great sweet, rich maltiness and a dryish graininess in the finish.
