Bottle Shop Series Highball Drifter B.

HOLY SHIT, this is WILD. Has a bit of that old fashioned flavor and then the Carmel and the vanilla come on the backend. Never had a beer like this. Man this is good.

Oktoberfest B.

It’s that time of year we start getting into fall beers, and I’m here for it. Not my favorite Oktoberfest beer, but this is more in the traditional style Oktoberfest. First one of the year.

Low Key Lime IPA B.

Key lime flavor is RIGHT UP front and balanced out nicely by the slight bitter IPA flavor. This is SUPER drinkable. Might have to get a to go of this.

Tube Sock B.

So Mark V. always talks about a “chewy hop flavor”. I never understood what that meant. I think i do now as I’m like kinda chewing the back end flavor this IPA has. Not bad, just not really my thing personally.

Blueberry Braggot B.

Man this is light and crisp, great berry flavor. Don’t really get a malt or honey flavor personally, but when it’s THIS good, who cares?

Ginger Smiles B.

Wow, this one has a LOT going on. The ginger and guava kinda hit you right in the mouth, and there’s like a bit of a bubbly vibe to it. Don’t think I’d drink a lot of this, but def worth trying. Very interesting.

Detroit Double IPA B.

Well I’d love to say this hits on all the flavors it says it does, but it just tastes like a DIPA with a hint of coffee back end flavor. Not bad, just not what was advertised.

French Toast Bastard B.

You can smell the sweetness on this one, super rich French toast flavor which goes really well against the backwoods bastard flavor. Super solid beer as always from founders.

Nitro Rübæus B.

Love having a Founders here in our airport. Got a Nitro Rubaeus before we leave for Vegas. Think i love the nitro more than regular. Nice and creamy, little tartness as well. Smooth as hell. What’s not to love?!?

Founders Cherry Cordial Stout B.

Man....the cherry flavor in this POPS against a nice chocolate Porter background. Can see why this went so fast in the bottles. Might try and get more, but think they said they made one keg of it??

Oktoberfest B.

This is actually better than i anticipated. Founders def isn’t known for beers like this, but really knocked the flavors out of the park. This is what I’d expect from an Oktoberfest beer, and more!

Punkin Ale (2020) B.

Get more of a wheat flavor up front, then a bit of the cinnamon and pumpkin flavor. Upon second sip, get more of the beer flavor and not really anything else. This is prob one of the weaker Pumpkin beers I’ve had this season, but ya never.

Mango Nova B.

Not really a whole lot of mango flavor, to me, but still solid nonetheless.

Más Agave Premium Hard Seltzer Strawberry B.

For a seltzer made by Founders pleasantly surprised at how good it is. Something light to offset some of the other heavier beers, and has a bit of that mas agave flavor from the beers. Try it if you’re at the tap house.
