4 Giants Hazy IPA V

This is actually quite good. Not heavy, clean, hop forward. Finishes fairly dry. Excellent.

reDANKulous V

Been awhile

Barrel-Aged Nemesis V

Big beer.

Red's Rye IPA V

Proper Pale V

Proper Pale V

Two days old and almost flat. You'd think they would know how to fill a crowler by now.

Frootwood V

This stuff is so good. Need to find more.

Vino De Naranja Barrel-Aged Dubbel V

Doubt this would offend anyone. Mild. Little funk or banana. Slight prunes. Little finish. No alcohol. No orange.

Barrel-Aged Nemesis V

Sticky. Strong. Bitter. Sweet. Dry. Long, tasty finish. Very good.

Proper Pale V

Tasty Pale. Slightly nutty.

B.A. Black Biscuit V

Tasty.

Breakfast Stout V

Yummy

Breakfast Stout (2021) V

I'm not sure I ever really appreciated this stuff until this winter.

Velvet Rush (2021) V

Bottled 7/29/21. Chocolate, coffee, barrel. Vanilla has dropped off. It actually also seems less sweet. Brown base beer more dominant. Very good on a snowy day.

Frootwood V

All the flavors in this stuff are distinct and yet blended perfectly. Excellent.

Unraveled IPA V

Nice hop bite. Some dankness, some pepper, juice, aromatics. Finishes dry. Very good. Not a new can but still no oxidation. Founders knows how to can beer.

All Day Haze V

Not bad for $1.00. Some juicyness, nice dry hop. It's a lite beer and actually quite tasty. Made Marcia sneeze. Amarillo?

All Day IPA V

Wierd aftertaste. I'm thinking the epicenter of craft beer in Michigan has moved to the Southeast side of the state.

B.A. Black Biscuit V

Very rich and creamy. 3.9

B.A. Black Biscuit V

Great beer for a cold day.

Frootwood V

2021 version. Had this stuff once B4 in 2017. Likes it then and still do. Not overly sweet, nice tartness, creamy mouth feel. Could use a touch more carbonation. Very good.

Red's Rye IPA V

Galaxy Wheat IPA V

Actually 7.1 abv. Solid.

Blushing Claus V

Unraveled IPA V

Unraveled IPA (2021) V

Something is off with this stuff. Some astringency, vegetal, thin. Not like it used to be imo. Not sure they are putting top quality hops in this stuff. Probably my last 15 pack.

B.A. Black Biscuit V

Similar to Curmudgeon but more roast, not as sweet, slight barrel. Quite good.

Honey Monkey Double IPA V

Thanks John!

Mosaic Promise V

Last one for probably quite awhile. Not sure why they dropped this. Most "seasonals" gone. Sad. Too much barrel capacity I'm guessing.

Galaxy Wheat IPA V

Calling this "Wheat" probably confuses people. It's not a wheat beer. It's a clear, clean, dank hop forward IPA. Very good. 3.9

Honey Monkey Double IPA V

Crazy Hazy V

Finishing up a howler. If all Hazys had this much hop bite without the burn I'd be a big fan.

Crazy Hazy V

Desiree of Sunshine V

Cali-Belgique

Crazy Hazy V

Excellent.

Crazy Hazy V

Great hop bite. Almost a burn.

Harvest Ale (2021) V

Not sure these yearly varients are legit but, drinking this. Different than past years. Different hops I guess. Still fresh and clean.

Desiree of Sunshine V

Crazy Hazy V

Nice juicy hop bite with solid flavor and a touch of bitterness. Excellent.

Homegrown Harvest Ipa V

Much maltier than this years regular Harvest Ale. But, still has nice bitterness.

Harvest Ale (2021) V

Desiree of Sunshine V

Slight funk from the Belgian yeast. Otherwise, very clean, fairly dry. Reminds me of Stone Cali-Belgique. Very good.

Mosaic Promise V

As much as I like this stuff, the current batch isn't near as good as it used to be. Neither is the current Harvest Ale. What's going on

Pilsner V

Nice. Haven't had in quite awhile. I think they dialed the hops back from the PC Pils stuff. Clean and enjoyable.

Harvest Ale V

Mosaic Promise V

MoPro for the win.

Red's Rye IPA V

I guess it's still my favorite Founders beer. Such a good rye bite.

Harvest Ale (2021) V

Nice fresh hop taste. Been better however.

Homegrown Harvest Ale V

Sure isn't a Golden Ale imo. Balanced IPA with a nice bitter finish. Starts out sweeter, finishes hop forward. Very good.

Mosaic Promise V

Ron, this is quite pequant.

Red's Rye IPA V

Biking stop.

Ales For ALS (2021) V

Like.

Madcask Hazy IPA V

Don't know what to call this. Not an IPA, not really a fruit beer, not really a milkshake. Sort of a combo of the above. Fairly sweet. Very tasty. Unique. Like it.

Coldwater Pro-Am Hazy IPA V

Nice. Creamy, no burn or sludge, smooth hop profile. Could use a bit more bite but overall excellent.

Mosaic Promise V

Well, happy we can get this. I'm a Mosaic junky. Sorry for those elsewhere.

Oktoberfest V

Very good.

Velvet Rush V

Great nose of chocolate, vanilla and barrel. Taste follows the same route. Less sticky than similar Stouts but not less flavor. In fact, maybe more as sweetness is subdued and ingredients move up. Long, tasty finish. Excellent.

Founders Oktoberfest (2021) V

So I've had a few of this years Oktoberfest beers and this is my favorite so far. Lots of flavor without being too much.

Mosaic Promise V

Say what you want about Founders but at least they know how to can beer. Very good.

Founders Oktoberfest (2021) V

Good time to use this mug. Lots of flavor here. Excellent.

Red's Rye IPA V

Rainy bike ride. Calls for an extra beer.

Mosaic Promise V

Now on tap in GR.

Mosaic Promise V

Lots of Mosaic all the way through. Very good. I think this batch has less malt than normal. Really a West Coast Mosaic Bomb.

Chilton's Last Call Amber V

Solid. Biscuit, fruity, semidry, clean. Plenty of hop bitterness for an Amber. Very good.

Ales For ALS (2021) V

Unraveled IPA V

Haven't had this in quite awhile. Plenty of carbonation. Tasty, juicy flavor. Nice.

Mosaic Promise (2021) V

Canned 8/23 Big dank nose. Mosaic up front. Fades to a slightly dry finish. Glad they canned some. Liked the higher ABV from Detroit better but I'll gladly drink this.

Ales For ALS (2021) V

My favorite IPA on tap currently.

Ales For ALS (2021) V

One more. Excellent. Right up there with some of the Pizza Port IPAs I've had. NOT a Midwest malt bomb.

Ales For ALS (2021) V

This is a great beer. Gonna be bummed when it's gone. Clean, light malt with great hop flavor and bitterness.

Red's Rye IPA V

Still tasty.

Scarlet Dawn IPA V

Grassy nose. Plenty of malt flavor. Low bitterness. Kind of a combo Amber and session IPA.

Hello Jane IPA V

Nicely dank. Not overpowering. Quite dry. Very good. Quite West Coast.

Ales For ALS (2021) V

Draft's are up 50 cents.

Curmudgeon’s Better Half "Deep Cut" V

Sticky. Excellent.

Ales For ALS (2021) V

This is really quite good. Nice hop bite.

Mosaic Promise V

They must have made more than one batch on the old system. This tastes slightly different than the last howler. Not quite as much hop punch, thinner. But, still tasty.

Low Key Lime IPA V

Yikes. 3 Untappd listings for this one. Actually quite good. Not strictly a beer. Like an infusion. But, tasty, low abv, refreshing.

Mosaic Promise V

Tasty dankness.

4 Giants IPA V

Thanks John!

Mosaic Promise V

At the bar for the first time in 16 months

Mosaic Promise V

One more. Thanks Detroit.

Mosaic Promise V

Guess I can't buy what is arguably Founders best beer in cans this year. Thankful for the Detroit tap room brewer. Got a growler. And, 6.6% abv expands the flavor.

Bottle Shop Series Highball Drifter V

What really surprised me about this stuff is how dry it finishes. Some fruit, some sweetness, some booze. Overall quite good. Not tiring like many of these are. Enjoyable. Thanks John!

Mosaic Promise V

This is the 6.6% ABV version brewed in the Detroit tap room. Slightly more malt presence than the past few iterations. Still a nice, dank Mosaic bite. Excellent.

Red's Rye IPA V

Pale Ale V

Howler. Been awhile since I hauled one of these home. Tasty. Not sure why this style isn't more popular. Let's all the parts shine through.

Ales For ALS (2021) V

Nice hop profile. Interesting blend of old and new. Finishes nicely dry. Quite good if you want a smooth, balanced IPA.

Tailgate Lager V

Crisp light. Little malt. Very clean. Refreshing after a 20 mile ride.

Pale Ale V

Biking

4 Giants IPA (2021) V

Thanks John.

Red's Rye IPA V

Tube Sock V

RIP Ren.

Pale Ale V

Hopped with Cascade and Centennial this time. Excellent.

Nemesis (2021) V

Nemesis (2021) V

Citra Pale Ale V

Well, this is excellent. Has some dankness, Citrus hop middle mouth, clean dry finish.

All Day Vacay V

Heavier in the malt than I was expecting. Cleans up quite dry. Quite good.

All Day Haze V

Tasty light hazy. Plenty of carbonation. Not too sweet. Very good.

Red's Rye IPA V

So many old time employees gone. Sad. Beer is quite dry. Nice rye spice bite. Missing some soul however.
