Founders Pale Ale
A testament to Cascade hops in a bottle. This medium-bodied pale ale has a distinctive floral hop aroma and refreshing citrus flavor. You’ll notice a slight malty sweetness with a balanced hop finish. Perfect to enjoy anytime, anywhere.

Coloração dourada com espuma branca persistente. Aroma levemente cítrico. Corpo baixo, sabor levemente cítrico e amargor presente ao final e persistente no retrogosto.
$1.90 bottle from Wine Warehouse. Pours slightly hazy orange-amber with a small off-white head. Syrupy aroma of orange, hay, caramel. Flavor is kinda bland... mild hops without much flavor. A bit of citrus and grass, but all you’re tasting is an ordinary hopped brew.
330ml bottle. Aroma is a little bitter fruit. Flavour has some orange and caramel biscuit malts come through too. Also quite acidic and vegetal, and it’s quite rough textured. Fine for the price, but not worth looking out.
Flaske. Dry hopped. Uklar, kobbßerfarget. Fyldig hvit skumtopp. Moderat karbonert. Smaker furunål,floral,krydder med hint av karamell.
Cloudy yellow orange with minimal head. Slightly peppery hop aroma. Taste is bitter as anticipated, with a sweetness underneath and a faint spicy finish. Refreshingly light bodied, but the bitterness hangs around. It’s good, but Founder’s definately makes better ales.
On niro tap. Faint hop aroma with a full body of malt balanced by cascade hops.
An okay pale ale with not too much hoppy goodness. Good for hot summer day but nothing special.
DWF; Bottle, small, from Vinmonopet. Pours moderate, hazydark gold, with a frothy creamy, somewhat lacing, off-white head. Nose is moderate to heavy, pine, tropic, moderate citrus, light floral and spice. Taste is heavy sweet and moderate bitter with a lasting sweet citric, light spice finish. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft.
Bottle from Ales by Mail. Dark gold to.light copper, very little head. Spruce, caramel and grapefruit in the aroma. Taste is more complex and pleasurable: a fruity bittersweet note with underlying sweet malt tunes slightly bitter before the finish. Floral hop on the aftertaste. A classic pale ale.
On tap at Founders. Great nitro pour. Thick white head. Mouthfeel dulls the bitter bite of hops. Lovely.
Flowers, floaters. Nope not for me this one, awful infact. Flowery stuff. I’ll say flowers again and that should do it.
Bottle from Alko, Helsinki. Pours fairly clear amber with a very little white head. The aroma features a combination of malts and hops; piney and citrusy hoppiness is paired with nutty maltiness and a touch of caramel. Taste is initially light sweet, later light to medium bitter. American style hoppiness is balanced and supported by a solid malt base; pine and resin are strongest flavours but also malty flavours appear. The palate is light to medium bodied, moderate in carbonation. Quality APA – not just a one-dimensional hop bomb, also fairly malty.
Hazy copper with suspended particles. Pine, subtle pepperiness, and sweetness on nose. Decent pale malt with a big bitter bite - taste is sweet with cutting bitterness. Medium finish.
How : bottle Appearance : hazy golden with a medium to small white head. Aroma : tropical fruits, orange juice, refined sugar and floral notes. Palate : medium body, average carbonation.
Cascade hops , and quite a strong sweet malt influence on the nose. A very well balanced pale ale, with a stronger malt influence than many beers of tis style
Pours a nice golden orangish color. Aroma is big piney hops with some floral and fruit. Flavor of a classic pale, mildly sweet malt action followed by great hop flavor bite, smooth throughout and a great finish.
Bottle at home. Hazy orange liqud, small white head. Aroma of fruitiness, some notes of malts, pine and mango. Light to medium sweetness, medium to heavy bitterness throughout.
Bottle into a tulip. Bottled 7/10/15 so way past peak freshness but heavily discounted as such.
A: Medium orange color with a tight finger of beige foam. Good retention and sheets of lace.
S: Fragrant pithy scent with a little pine.
T: Bitter pine taste. A little citrus on the finish but that’s all. Hardly any malt detected.
M: Medium heft with good crispness and carbonation. Slightly chewy finish.
O: Old bottle sure, but I don’t find much to recommend above many other available pale ales. OK but I wouldn’t seek it.
Draught @ Albion. Slightly hazy dark orange with small creamy beige head, faint lemon aroma, medium carbonation, lemon flavored lightly bitter taste, medium finish. Flavorful and smooth.
Bottle from Hops & Crafts Exeter( a gift from the owner as the beer was just out of date,drunk 2 weeks after B.B date), pours golden with nice white head & lacing down the glass,lots yeast went into the glass from the first pour , I guess the date had something to do with that. Aroma Crisp light citrus aroma lemon,melon & orange peel, taste bittersweet with more hop flavours pinapple,melon & tangerine crisp & refreshing with nice pale malt support almost biscuity ,lightish bodied with a delightful mouthfeel & crisp happy dry finish ,really drinkable. Nice!
A golden light-bodied ale, with a refreshing hoppy citrus aroma, and a hoppy flavour with a mild malt character. Semidry taste with medium bitterness. Not as full and tasty as I prefer pale ales to be, but on the other hand I am pretty sure this sample is far from fresh.
Bottle from Hop City. Pours transparent gold. Aroma of malt and citrus hops. Taste is sour, malt and overly hoppy. Funky, citrus aftertaste.
Bottle. Pours clear golden with a thin foam layer lasting. Aroma is hops (grapefruit, pine and some grass/hay) and malt. The taste is the same. Slightly bitter ending.
En meget almindelig ale, god humle og sødme fra malten. en smule karamel smages også
Had the Nitro Pale Ale (site refers back to this beer). Nitro very evident in the pour with a high, velvety head. Smooth and creamy, hoppy finish lost its zest as I worked my way through the pot. Found the last third of the glass quite flat and in contrast to the vibrancy of the beer when first poured.
Bottle. Clear amber color with tiny white head. Aroma - Sweet, malts, pine, caramel, fruit. Taste - Bitter, dry, flowers, citrus, caramel. Solid.
5.4%ABV. Pale Ale.
Tapped out light amber. 10°SRM.
Nose is beery and sweet. Spicy and leathery. Some brown nut and oak like funk in the nose. Steamed peanuts.
Mouthfeel was sudsy. Palate had toasted Malts. Rye bread. Multigrain bread. Caramel. Chestnuts. Hops are pine, cilantro, mint, hyssop with vegetal bitter and minty.
Not as aromatic as I expected for a dry hopped brew.
Can’t fault it for price because it ranges between $11 and $12 bucks per six pack. And for me that sits mighty fine. It is quite rough on the palate compared to more refined pale ales out there, but is session-able.
Pours clear golden. Aroma is malty, light hoppy. Taste is malty with a nice hop balance bitterness in the finish.
Seems like a drinkable beer. Not impressive. But not bad. Would drink again.
