Founders Red's Rye IPA
Pours a spectacular crimson red with a creamy tan head. Brewed with four varieties of Belgian caramel malts imparting a sweet richness. Reds Rye is impressively balanced with its hop bitterness and floral bouquet achieved from the dry hop. In the finish, the generous amount of malted rye used accentuates a spicy crisp finish.
Bottled - winter seasonal. On tap - year-round.
Note: Formerly Red’s Rye P.A. [The brewery says it’s first and foremost an American IPA.]

Sample at Whole Foods, Auburn Hills. Pours slightly burnt red, white head. Aroma is citrus, pine, malt heavy, rye, lots of caramel, orange, toffee. Flavor is caramel, orange, rye, malt. Nice hoppy red ale.
Pretty hoppy with spruce and pine aromas. Sweet caramel and bread malts.
Color is a dark reddish brown, with a small off white head.
Taste is fairly bitter but is quickly followed by a nice balancing sweetness. The typical rye wild/rustic flavor is clear but not over whelming.
Medium tons bit full bodied; a long finish, with a very nice combination of bitterness, sweetness, wild rye and yet a touch of dry crispness also. Good mouth feel.
Overall a quite good beer with pretty good complexity- a fair amount going on here.
Draft. Bronze beer with a dark cream head. Grapefruit and pine aroma. Grapefruit and pine flavor with light malt. Medium bodied. Good bitterness. Grapefruit ad pine lingers with light malt and light spice.
Pours a burnt reddish brown color with a khaki head. Caramel, toffee, rye, biscuit, floral hop and citrus aroma and flavors. Medium body and carbonation with a caramel, toffee and rye finish.
Reddish copper pour with small off white head. Aroma of caramel malts, roasted malts, rye grains, slightly floral and hops. Taste of roasted malts, caramel, fruity, rye grains and hoppy finish. Full bodied, crisp carbonation, well balanced, mild hoppy finish with rye notes. Beautiful beer!
Tap. Worthy Burger, South Royalton, VT. Hazy copper colour. Off white, clingy head. No surprises here. Juicy, spicy, soft resin hoppage. Zesty, with soft chew. Easy drinking, albeit a bit thin, maybe. Soft spice bitterness on the close. Ok.
On tap. Dark amber in color with a small tan head. Malty aroma with some hoppiness. Pretty well balanced. Medium bodied. Tasty.
Tap sample at SBWF15. Reddish amber with off white head. Aroma sugary, caramel, toffee, floral hops, light spice and spicy rye. Taste is sweet and hoppy, rye, toffee, spice, more hops and slight alcohol.
Draft pours crystal clear ruby red color with a creamy off white head that lingers leaving huge amounts of lace on glass. Smells of grapefruit, pine and spice. Tastes of citrus,sweet caramel and spice. Medium body,creamy mouthfeel,perfect carbonation and a slightly tart mellow bitter finish. This is a very tasty beer. The hop aroma is nice and malt backbone is phenomenal!

Âmbar com média formação de espuma. Notas frutadas com lúpulos florais e herbáceos, e uma pegada de malte para equilibrar o conjunto. Corpo médio, com final longo, adstringente e presente amargor no retrogosto
Bottle in pint glass from The Drinkery, Londonderry NH. Aroma is yeasty dough, caramel, bread, with sweet floral notes. Appearance is hazy dark red-brown with nice sparkle and finger-width off-white head with fair retention and nice lacing. Taste is medium sweet with some fruit and light sour. Palate is medium bodied with thick texture, average to lively carbonation and dry, slightly spicy bitter finish. Overall, this beer was more yeasty and less hoppy than one would expect. It was also quite old so I don’t think this is the most representative rating. I’ll have to re-rate in the future.
Malty and savory , with a hint of sweetness, dry hop flavors help balance with mostly resinous pine notes
Poured a murky reddish-brown with a big long lasting foamy off-white head. Aroma of floral hops, sweet malt, some spices and a good amount of rye. Flavour of sweet malt, rye, spices, some alcohol and a long hoppy finish. Medium to full bodied.
Reddish brown color, small head, doughy aroma. Intense malt, caramel taste first followed by an intense hoppy taste. Full taste , a bit grainy finish.
On tap at Zeta, J'ville beach. Pours dark Amber with an off white head. Tangerine, lemon zest aroma. Light to medium body, medium carbonation. Toffee, toasted rye bread, lemon, light pine, orange, light grass... Nice dry, lightly bitter finish. Good.
Tap. This fell a bit short for me. Not sure if i just don’t like rye or if the way this beer incorporates it. Drinkable but not my thing.
Crisp. This is the crisp-est thing ever. Rye is beautiful Amarillo is beautiful... This is pretty great... I’m bored of ipas, but this one does something that ipas very rarely do which is pretty great...
Pours a reddish copper with a lacy head. Aroma is hoppy and spicy. Taste is a balance of the spicy malt and hop in a really good way. Not too sweet. Sharp carb and thick mouthfeel. Really interesting and drinkable.
