On draft @ Ashley’s in Ann Arbor. Pours crystal clear copper color with pillowy off white head. Great lacing. A light aroma with a mixture of citrus and malt. Mild IPA hoppiness. Mild enough that some sweet crystal malts shine through and take over the flavor briefly. Centennial is one tasty hop. I get bits of bitter grapefruit and some sweeter grapefruit juice along with hints of floral hops.YUM.

Thanks Nuts. Probably the perfect specimen of a medium to mild IPA. Rather clear but darker than your typical pale yellow lager, perhaps some red or orange tinge. Mild to medium perfumy floral hop aroma. Very little if any carbonation. Rather gentle in IPA flavors when compared to many other IPA. Hoppy but not too hoppy. Rather acceptable even for a sweet lager lover. Overall less oppressive than I predicted. Puts other offensive IPAs to shame. A good example of a well made IPA, enjoyable and hoppy, yet not extremely medicine bitter.

35,5cl can from Systembolate, Strömstad. Pours slightly hazy amber with a lasting off-white head. Quite intensive hoppy aroma with pine, citrus, tropical fruits, caramel and hints grass and herbs. Fairly sweet with nice hoppy and fruity flavours and a somewhat dry, and quite bitter finish with citrusy notes. Bitter aftertaste with notes of grapefruit. Medium to full body with carbonation slightly on the soft side. Not the freshest IPA, but certainly a decent one anyway. Would love to try it fresh some day.

Sample from bottle at Vectura-messe. Orange colour. Aroma of crystal malts and orangey American hops. Sharp hoppy flavour throughout. Not the best beer from Founders.

Clear orange, off-white lacing, lasting foam head. Great hoppy aroma, floral noes. Indeed the flowers explode in taste, citrus notes and great bitterness. Lasting taste. (Chicago 201510)

Cloudy amber pour with alot of carbonation. Thick offwhite head with citrus and pine aroma. Mouthfeel was the only aspect I thought was a little lacking. Great beer.
