Nov 12, 2009 Wow I had no clue what to expect from this one, but it exceeded pretty much any expectation I could have conceived of. Pours a vibrant semi-transparent orange-brown with a lightly browned head, beautiful. Smell is pure wildness, hoppy, fruity, kind of a ginger-like character. Taste is perfectly balanced as I’ve come to expect from Founder’s (fine, so actually I had one expectation) and unlike anything I’ve ever tried. Very unique, and I’m not quite sure what its deal is but clearly this brew was perfectly executed. One of the best I’ve had in a long time.

Jun 8, 2008 This bad boy pours an overly darkened crimson red, with really beautiful head. Smell like grapefruit. The flavor reminds me of grapefruit a lot. The hops are very citrus flavored and there is a slightly acidic feel to it. Really unique.

Sep 13, 2008 Just an absolutely superb brew. Very fruit oriented taste. Finishes off with hints of autumn. A must drink.

Jun 22, 2009 This is a very unique and drinkable with lots of character in its aroma and flavor. If you like hoppy beers, you are going to love this. Had this at my favorite Thai restaurant and it went with the spicy food and the sushi appetizers perfectly.

Oct 29, 2009 From a bottle this brew pours a copper color with a thin white head. Nice aroma of grapefruit, hops, floral and pine. Incredible hoppy bitter taste with plenty of citrus, caramel, pine and floral notes. This brew is hop lovers dream. Which means it ranks right up there for me. This one is a winner.

May 20, 2006 Cloudy red color with a big chunky head that looks like a ice cream float. Aroma is resiny hops with a good amount of caramel malt. Flavor is a delicious and chewy.

Feb 27, 2005 bottle-HUGE thanks to jtw for sending this MI gem my way. Pours a clear dark orange hue with vigerous carbonation. a nice 1/2 inch off-white head topped the beer that was smooth and soft looking. Aroma of citric hops, flowery, sweet and nice grapefruit notes. The flavors mimic a dreadnaught light (similar hop bill it tastes like). Flavors of citric hops, biscuity toasted malts, with a touch of rye in the finish that is ever so slight. The palate is well rounded, excentuating the citric hops with undertones of pine and grapefruit with a good malt bill to back them up. great balance and complexity. the hops are present across the entire palate. This beer has sheets of lacing! truely amazing apearance in my snifter. Resiny finish (piney hops-chinnok/cascade?). I can see this being a very delicate beer that need to be sampled as fresh as possible. Another winner from founders and MI. You MI people are so damn lucky.....a kick ass beer!
