Big sweet beer, perfect for Christmas morning — 9 years ago
Sometimes they pour you a dark mug of liquid lunch and you are surprised by how light and fruity a porter can be. And then you realize that you ordered the Brunch Weasel Oatmeal Stout at Mikkeller, and dense, coffeecake richness punches you in the mouth. At 10.5% abv, this Norwegian craft brew has all the decadence of your champagne brunch, but darker, denser, and screaming for a scoop of ice cream. — 10 years ago
I would classify this under "refreshing." Tons of IPAs are bold, sock you in the nose hoppy. This backs off the IBUs just slightly and adds a slight fruity/lemony finish that is, well, refreshing. I feel sorry for everyone who doesn't live in California and likely can't get their hands on nice craft brews like this. — 10 years ago
Profoundly aromatic and seriously delicious. Cool name too. The orange and spice notes are super cool in this beer. WF. — 9 years ago
I don't even like craft beer. But this is very good. What beer is supposed to be. A drink not a bread smoothie. — 9 years ago
Was very excited to finally get this in my area, on the west coast, Founders is a highly regarded craft brewery on the east coast, Grand rapids Michigan, heard so many great reviews on their beers, KBS, Double Trouble, so go into this review I expected quite a lot, I must say I am not disappointed, but here on the west coast we have much better IPA's, not putting this beer and the east coast down, hey, that is where I was born and raised, this brew is typical a east coast beer, brewed like a west coast beer, dry hopped with only Centennial hops, very much a staple hop on the west coast, Cascade hops on crack, so to speak, so I am very familiar with this hop character and taste, fruity, Citrus, back end has that tobacco finish, extremely dry, a very well done IPA, I am not disappointed, Founders deserves the high rating they get with their beers, I really can see why people on the east coast love this beer, they are seeking on hoppy beer that sometimes they cannot get from the west coast, Very good, I with be waiting for some more from this great brewery, KBS, and Double Trouble on my list — 9 years ago
Florida Man makes excellent craft beer: Jai Alai IPA from Cigar City Brewing in Tampa. — 10 years ago
Great natural craft beer...the cloudy pour reminds me of Belgian natural yeasty draft...not too much citrus but still crisp with a depth that lingers... — 10 years ago
Love this beer! Love that it's made by a local coffee roaster and I go to their coffee shop every weekend to enjoy coffee. Love this is from the local craft brewery down the street from my house. Wonderful balance and flavor. Never gets old. — 8 years ago
Creamy texture with lemon and lemongrass up front fading to tropical fruit followed by pine. Very fresh with a well integrated 7.1% abv. Outstanding. This is an excellent beer bar with ~30 Italian craft beers on tap. Unfortunately, not all are as good as this one. — 9 years ago
Re-review of this classic landmark beer, why? New label, new description on label, this was and still is such a important beer in the craft beer Community, brewed since 1997 and still stands as one of the best IPA' s in the world, Centennial, Chinook and Magnum hops give it that classic base of West Coast IPA, that started the whole IPA movement in other beers and breweries, this was the beer that set the stage for what is now the great IPA 's in the west and east coast, such a monumental and important beer, The influence cannot be understated, still as I said, it holds its place as a great beer today — 9 years ago
This, TO ME, is Pliny the Elder's rival for top West coast IPA! This is definitely my new favorite beer and I haven't been in the mood for an IPA for about a year until this. A must try for craft beer enthusiasts. — 10 years ago

My all time favorite Anchor beer, and the one they have been since April 18, 1975, it is why I am reviewing this beer now, Fourth of July coming up, it was really to celebrate the 200th Anniversary of Paul Revere's historical ride, and it is also my birthday, April 18th, but back to the brewery and this beer, if you did not know, Anchor Brewery is the very first craft breweries in the USA, when they brewed this beer it was the very first American IPA's some today call it a American Pale Ale, it is brewed with cascade whole cone hops, with a rich malt backbone, by today's standards it seems quite mild, not over hoppy, nor bitter, super well balanced, I love this beer and one of my personal favorites, been drinking this since 1978, It is a true classic that had held up so well, excellent beer all around, pairs with just about any food, and just great tasting, I am a little basis on this, so I give it the highest grade, just because it really was the very first IPA in America and for me, and the price is dirt cheap for such a well made beer from a Outstanding Pioneer brewery — 10 years ago
