MI Pilsner (MI P1LSNER) Verlinde

Perfect summer boat beer! Crisp, great flavor, nice bitterness level. Only 5% so good for all day.

Mortal Bloom Verlinde

(Yesterday) Hmmm. A nice, light, easy-drinking hazy. I would have no problem ordering it again. BUT...I guess I expected more "wow" from a Founders beer. I'm used to them putting out signature beers, not me-too offerings.

Great balance. Still not the original KBS, but a decent variant.

KBS Blueberry Verlinde

Decent but not their best KBS. It's hard to do blueberry well in a heavy beer. This is probably the best one could do.

Barrel-Aged Peanut Butter Stout Verlinde

Oh, my gosh. Best peanut butter flavor in a beer I've ever had. Not fake like others. Yum.

The Headless Gourdsman Verlinde

(Yesterday) Really yummy. Would be my perfect pumpkin brew if not for the lingering sugary sweetness. But great cinnamon bourbon flavor.

4 Giants Hazy IPA Verlinde

Really well done hazy-juicy. I'll go to this one when I am in the mood for this style. Just wish they had used a separate name, as I find a lot of bar/restaurant servers don't really know which they are serving. And they're two distinct beers.

Peachy Trouble Verlinde

Oh! Way too peachy! Would love a more subtle peach undertone to Double Trouble...but not this. Had to return it to the bartender.

Great, drinkable stout. Nicely fits between a standard stout and a true imperial.

KBS Cinnamon Vanilla Cocoa Verlinde

Hmmm. Well, it's a good beer, for sure, but it certainly didn't wow me like I was expecting. The original is still the best by far.

Hazy-O! Verlinde

(Yesterday.) Leave it to DH to take a style that isn't my favorite and make a beer that I love! Not too hazy. Not too juicy. Nice, balanced, easy drinking.

Velvet Rush Verlinde

As with almost all Founders beers, this is so balanced, so well made, and so yummy. Kinda sorta vaguely like a KBS light.
