Weird, so its listed here as a hazy, and I expected a hazy because I thought the Mortal Bloom beers were hazies...but this was clearly not a hazy?! Poured at most with a light chill haze but otherwise mostly clear golden to amber color, full 2 finger+ head. Pronounced bitterness despite the list 45 IBU (but also not super bitter). A lot of aromatic and flavoring hops, leans towards pine, resin, but hints also at unripe grapefruit rind, and a little sweat sock. Fairly clean and semi-dry to balanced malt profile, hints at crackers, white bread. I like it as a sort of standard DIPA from the oughts era. Cans from Publix Oviedo FL

Founders does not call this beer a hazy on the label or the description, and it’s filtered, so what is it? I think that’s debatable. There’s no reason a beer couldn’t be made exactly like a New England IPA but filtered, and this is a surprisingly smooth imperial IPA. There’s citrus and a little floral notes in the aroma and flavor. Bitterness is moderate. Solid malt body. I could go either way on style. Perhaps it falls somewhere in between, but anyway, it’s quite enjoyable.

My 60th Founders beer rating! Honey gold pour. Large, pillowy white head. Fragrant aromas of citrus and pine. Flavor is bittersweet citrus with notes of pineapple and lime pith. Sticky pine on the palate. Dank and resiny finish.
