Beer Binge Day 2: Founders Red’s Rye P.A.

By Tom Maicon at March 23, 2010 | 7:33 am | Print

Founders was the most anticipated beer arrival we’ve seen this year. When this brewery’s first beers were being hauled off the trucks, I immediately covered the highly-acclaimed Breakfast Stout. It wasn’t until the following day I discovered their Red’s Rye P.A.. For some reason I never went back and talked about it.

This beauty pours a sharp amber-red with thin loose white head that dissipated quickly leaving a loose lacy pattern around on the glass. Big bright aroma is flowery. Flavor is dominated by lots of citrusy grapefruit and rye with slightly bitter finish. Basically speaking, this brew drinks like an I.P.A. but finishes a crisp Red Rye. Nice. Very nice.
