UPDATED: SEP 3, 2020 With Z , over homemade lo mien , pours an amber dark copper color. Fruity ester nose. Taste is fruity and full of caramel. Finishes on the caramel , hoppy notes.

UPDATED: SEP 3, 2020 Bomber. Pours a rusty orange with an off white head and malty aroma. Taste is malty up front, lots of caramel into the malty finish.

UPDATED: JUN 16, 2019 Backlog. Bottle. pours a dark golden with smaller to medium head. Notes are passionfruit, pine, grass, bread, and spice. Fuller bodied with too much booze in the aftertaste. Warming

Many thanks to Erzengel for sharing! A clear dark golden beer with a mid-sized most good lasting off-white head. Aroma of resionous hops, reddish malt, spruce. Taste of intense bitter resinous hops, pine needles, red malt, caramel, long resinous bitter finish.

2014 vintage. Fresh and fruity deep thick nose. The beer starts deep and rich. Lots of floral piney hop oils, moderate sweetish-dry body. A bit viscous, honey-like, very dry. Fruity and moderate bitter in the back, round and deep, pine and resin with a dry grainy bitterness. Very dense and rich with still a high drinkability. Interesting!

Beautiful golden color, the smell is yest, wheaty, the taste is very bitter, very hoppy. Not very malty, needs a little more ABV but at good beer.

Bottle:   Let me just start by saying that Founders can seemingly do no wrong.   This is one of those examples where you cross two styles and it works, works well.   Vibrant straw in color, perhaps a tinge of orange, nice moderate to large foamy off-white head, with nice lacing.   Sweet bready aroma, light, almost grassy but not quite.   Smooth on the tongue, well balanced, even a bit chewy.   Its like the best of both worlds, slightly hoppy but the body of a rich lager.   Big thanks to pailhead for sending one my way.   Generally not a big fan of the style, but this one drinks way too easy.   Its a bit warming too which ain’t bad at all.   Great beer!

Maybe a touch past its prime. Like a big thick Pilsner, still with some spicy and grassy hops, clean sweet leaning grainy malt. Full body for this style. I like, but didn’t love it.

Pours a hazy gold color. Thin white head. Some lacing. Aroma is a bit perfume like. Biscuit like malt character with an earthy hop finish.
