Pours a nice gold, hazy orange hue with a 2nice finger initial that settles to a full silky lacing that coats the glass. When I inhale this beer, I get a full blast of grapefruit, pineapple, mango, more citrus, hops and some underlying malt. This is a really nice tasting brew and could easily become my 'everyday' beer if I had one! Right upfront I taste citrus (pineapple, grapefruit, some tropical fruit, and either apple, or watermelon); hops (not overpowering, actually blended perfectly), some pine, and a slightly herby flavor that gives way to short ending of toasted malts and fresh grass, a little dryness to at the end. Very well balanced beer, as always from Founders never disappointed. Alcohol is well hidden, has a nice medium mouthfeel with a quick crisp, dry finish that leaves your pallet wanting more!

Cheers!

Serving type: on-tap

REVIEW

Style: IPA

ABV: 4.7%

Purchased at: John’s Grocery, Iowa City, IA

Pour: Dark gold pour with a medium-sized white head.

Aroma: Pine, citrus hops aroma dominate along with some dankness on the nose.

Flavor: Citrus hops dominate the flavor, maybe a tad of floral taste as well. The bitterness is missing but doesn’t take away from the brew.

Ratebeer.com rating: 96/100

Beeradvocate.com rating: 87/100

Overall: A-

My recommendation: A go to beer for the summer for sure. A great concept, and they come through by providing a very tasty sessionable beer.
