Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)

My first Founders brew... Wow, what a beautiful IPA! Coppery orange color with a very fluffy white head.. Seems darker than other IPAs.. Huge, pungent aroma of piney hops thats really nice... Maybe the best smelling IPA yet.. Hmmm... Taste definitely doesnt match the aroma. Very malty and tea-like up front which leads to a lingering bitternes
UPDATED: JAN 8, 2009 Very very nice. Pours orange with a nice head. Aroma is more pine than citrus, flavor is tart and bitter, but in a good way. Not as malty and smooth as the description indicates, but is great ina bitter/tangy way. Probably actually a better value than Devil Dancer, since its about $2 a bottle compared to DDs $4.50.
Pours a cloudy golden orange color with off-white head. Aroma is of floral and citrus hops and pine. Very well balance considering how hoppy it is. A nice amount of malt compliments the dry bitter hop finish.
