Founders most complex, most innovative, most feared and yet most revered ale produced. Massive in complexity the huge malt character balances the insane amount of alpha's used to create this monster. More IBU's than any brewery has documented, more than you would believe and dry-hopped for twenty-six days straight with a combination of 10 hop varieties. Dangerously drinkable and deliciously evil. We dare you to dance with the Devil.

12oz bottle from paulunwin, thanks
Appearance: Pours clear amber with a medium sized off-white head and some lacing
Aroma: Pine resin and caramel
Taste: Grapefruit, sweet caramel, some hot alcohols, finishes with bitter pine resin
This is a beast, but I really hate the sweetness in most IIPA’s. This is easy to drink though, even too easy if I had a few more.

This smells straight up like a vodka jello shot. Pours ruby clear with a little lacing. The high alcohol gives bitterness and sweetness. There’s some grapefruit sour somewhere in there. For me, at least, this is too much alcohol for an IPA. Goes over the top. On tap at Farmhouse Bar and Grill.

This imperial IPA is as claimed by Founders: "massive in complexity." I have sampled it fresh, one year old, and two years old (but not at one sitting). Each vintage was different, but all three were fantastic. I liked the one-year old most.

Hazy deep red-amber beer. Light silky palate. Immediate alcohol aniseed and rich bitter hops. Lingering rich malt and a long bitter hop aftertaste. An intense IPA with some barleywine character. Carbonated bite to finish. Marvelous!

Bottle. Pours a cloudy copper with small white frothy head. The aroma is floral hops and grapefruit. Thick mouthfeel with a sweet hop and nice light bitter finish. Easy to drink a very impressive IIPA from Founders.

Deep red, slightly hazy color, small off-white head. Very hoppy nose has berryish nose: rasberries, strawberries - I would say even marijuana. Full-bodied. Fruity, very hoppy flavor. Did I say ganja in aroma? It’s also in the flavor. Berries, grass, very resiny flavor. Marmelade malty backbone.

Orange red amber colour, off-white head. Very pronounced hops in the aroma. Very fresh, resin, flowers and citrus combat for priority. Good malty background, caramel, apricot and some honey. Malty sweet flavour, pronounced hop bitter with a salty tone in the background. Finish bitter with lingering floral hops. Very enjoyable.

12oz bottle from Chuck’s poured into a snifter. Pours a clear copper with about a finger of white head. Huge citrus hop aroma with a good bit of grapefruit and some nice caramel notes. Taste is heavily bitter and very lightly sweet. Pine and citrus hops with slight alcohol and honey notes. Full bodied with a creamy texture. Lively carbonation and a long very bitter finish. Overall, fricking amazing. I would drink this every day if I could. Too bad this is my first beer of the night, because my palate is absolutely destroyed.
