Serious hop bitterness, along with an unyielding grapefruit bouquet from the Amarillo dry hop, balances the malty richness of four varieties of imported Belgian caramel malts. Pours a spectacular crimson with a creamy tan head. A generous addition of rye malt accentuates a spicy, crisp finish.

Backlog May 2011. Reddish golden to pale amber body under a dense beige head. Very nice aroma, citric fruits, peaches, grapefruit, pine, grass and malt. Taste is fresh and fruity with malt, citric fruits, some caramel and quite bitter. Medium body with a pleasant aftertaste. Nice and tasty IPA that impressed in 2011.

Draught from BTiger. Maybe I just don’t like ryes. Poured more brown than crimson. Earthiness and dry hops.

Big aroma of fresh citrus, crisp rye, and light cereals. Crisp finish, nice sharp citrus with a solid cereal rye bite. Super drinkable, great stuff.

Bottle. Amber color. Grapefruit, melon, some oily hops and rye bread in the aroma. Initial rye bread flavor, challenged by earthy oily hops. Pineapple and melon. Earthy oily hopbitter aftertaste.

On tap at PF Chang's, Ann Arbor. Clear dark ruby under a one finger khaki head that leaves lots of tight lace. Nose is grain, resin, light caramel, citrus and some pepper. Light sweet malts with a medium+ citrus and pine bitterness and some rye spice in the finish. Mouth is medium slick with average carbonation and a lingering bitter finish. Nice. 7+/4/8/3+/15

From Sept 2008
I got this bottle in a trade with nutbrown. Thanks Alan!
It pours a clear reddish gold with a huge billowy head of foam.
The smell is of...whoah..fruity and citrusy and earthy malty..very nice!
The taste has big grapefruit flavour up front but then I can taste the rye and some earthy malt and other fruit, maybe orange, it all comes across as *very* tasty. Wow. I'm big time digging the flavours here.
Mouthfeel is medium and very smooth, the carbonation is medium, and it finishes with a nice snap of citrus and rye.
Drinkability, despite the abv, is very good. This is another Founders brew that I'd like to revisit. No doubt about it! I love how the rye is so noticeable here as it makes this brew so crisp and easy drinking..Btw, the second pour gets a bit cloudy and overall, the head retention is *awesome* as is the lacing.
Bottom line: This is an *awesome* brew! It is probably the best of the style that I have ever tasted!

Draft at J’s. Pours a clear amber with a finger of foam that lingers. Not much nose on this one, maybe some faint berry, malt notes...touch of strawberry. Clean and crisp, light bread notes, some rye in there. Light, peppery finish. Simple but rock solid.
