The 2010 version was hop strong, but 2011 was wrong from the outset.

This beer was a lovely golden/orange with off white head in a glass.

The nose was hop dominated...go figure. Copper notes and bitter hops were all of the nose.

The taste was similar to a yard full of wild onion cut on a 94 degree and blown into your face. This was gross and drain poured.

The mouthfeel was average for the style, if you can get past the onion.

Overall, I love Founders. Period. However, this year's batch of Devil Dancer is not what it should have been. I think that it is a mistake (maybe?). I read other reviews of an A+ beer, but I am shocked. However, I suggest that you drink everything else they make!

look: 4 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.75

A-deep amber color with hints of red and a decent off-white head with a little lacing

S-malt, slight sweetness, pine, tropical fruit, hint of bitterness

T-heavy malt upfront, tropical fruit, slight caramel, pine and moderately bitter finish

F-medium to full body with light to moderate carbonation, smooth but pretty boozy

O-interesting sipper, but not something I would make great effort to seek out
