Founders Red's Rye PA
Mahogany color, very cloudy with subtle carbonation. The wispy 1/2 inch of foam is light tan with nice retention. Good lacing. The smell is strong and pleasant, with a nose of robust floral hops, light caramel malt and mild alcohol. The taste is not very sweet, strong on hops and finishes with a bready finish and a hint of rye. Slightly sour overall, moderately bitter, but not overpowering on any level. Full body, somewhat thick with a nice coating ability and good smoothness. I definitely liked it, but I don't see it being a great session beer for some reason. I'm glad it made the 1800 mile trip down here though, and I will have another one soon...
