Mosaic Promise Malt

Another very solid IPA from Founders, showcasing Mosaic hops, citrus and Piny, orange peel, grapefruit, slight tropical hints, peach, pineapple, not too complex, just nice one dimensional mosaic hops, but that is good for those who do not understand how much one single hop can really make a very good IPA, just that very single Focus, gives you a deeper knowledge of how much one hop can defined a beer, and then you recognize that hop in other beers, but all that really means to be said about this beer, it is a very good beer in the style, and does exactly what it aims for, simply put, you like mosaic hops, this is the IPA for you — 8 years ago

Devil Dancer Triple IPA Malt

Beautiful cranberry tea, auburn color. Big beer- alc, depth, rich bitter hops rounded by just the right amount of malt. This probably needs a couple years of aging. Caramlized grapefruit. Very dry in the mouth. Black tea. — 8 years ago

Dark Rich & Sexy Porter

Outstanding American Porter, much like their fantastic "Breakfast Stout" rich roasted malts, chocolate and vanilla, this is a very thin line between a porter and stout, not as big, of course as their stout, but as the style, just great, the hops add to this being a bigger Porter than most, everything' you would want in a great Porter, my "Go To" Porter, Excellent!!! — 8 years ago

Rübæus Pure Raspberry Ale

First off, this one has beautiful ruby color, and a great fresh raspberry aroma. The flavor opens with slightly tart raspberry, and a mild sweetness that builds in the mid-palate. The maltiness of the ale comes in at the finish. — 8 years ago
