Another hazy IPA apparently, not high on my list but maybe Founders can do it better. 12 oz can found at the nearby big supermarket that does offer up singles that I would not otherwise buy. Cowtown snifter ready, I make the pour. I determine a surprisingly clear yellow-gold liquid with a stick-to-it top of completely white foam. Persistent carbonation must be noted. I smell a decent combination of citrus and ripe yellow fruit. The drink, well, an improvement over my expectation. Some west coast effect, a bit more of the NE style. Apricots, honey, a hint of floral, more bitterness than anticipated, white bread, enough lemon to register and malt. An interesting enough beer.

Medium sweet fruity notes of orange and peach, pineapple, sticky sweet caramel malty backbone, bitter piney resinous hoppy finish. Ok for a supermarket beer.

Another sign Founders has lost the thread when it comes to their IPAs. Lots of pine, minerals, and boozy sweetness without a whole lot of hop flavor; woody to the point of being one-note. No reason to drink this when 90 Minute is available at every supermarket in the US.

12 oz can dated 10-Dec-2024. Pours a moderately hazy golden with a white head. Citrusy grapefruit and orange aroma, piney, floral hops. Smooth flavor, citrus, pine, herbal/floral hops. Has a light bitterness to it as well. Rather on the light side for an imperial, but it's alright.
