2019 CBS - at least that’s how it’s advertised. I don’t think CBS was ever the 12.3% printed on the beer menu, so there’s an element of doubt here. Anyway, not that important TBH. Poured with a head that could be better. Yes this is a 11+% beer,...
Well, if there’s one positive it does exactly what is says on the can (bottle). Superb clarity on a golden, slightly viscous pour, and a white head that is not amazing, but given the ABV entirely acceptable in all respects. Nose and tastes produce...
Errr … no it's NOT! @sessionbeer. Pour is a semi-dark golden one with a very small head and little retention or lace. Nose is unsurprisingly hoppy, but it has the whiff of slightly manufactured, hop pellet aroma. Very sharp on the nose, and not...
25.4 oz bottle, $13.99 Smyrna World of Beverage. Not sure why I bought this. Anyway ... A lighter than expected, reddish hue on the pour. I'm a little surprised at how thin the beer looks. No viscosity to speak of at all, and a beer that produces...
I'm not a big fan of hyped-up, imaginary beer styles, so this gets off on the wrong foot all around. WTF is a 'White IPA' anyway? The BS that we have had to endure over 'Black IPA' is bad enough, now this? It just gives my arguments more credence....
Pour is a black-cherry colored affair with a bright pink head. Obviously not much retention or lace on the froth. Nose is pretty rich on the raspberry note (hardly shocked) but it is comforting that it's rich. The tastes are totally dominated by a...
12 oz single from Hop City, Atlanta, GA, USA. Meh, when beer gets like this for me it essentially ceases to become beer and turns into an experience that is simply too much like hard work. You have to really work at this beer to appreciate it and...
12 oz single in the usual Founders bottle presentation. From Hop City, Atlanta, GA, USA. $4.99 for the single. Murky, honey orange pour with a thin film of wispy foam on the surface of the beer. No head and no retention. Some viscous legs greet the...
12 oz, stubbie single from Hop City, Atlanta, GA. One of the few Founder's beers currently in GA that I have not had before their recent arrival. Pour is a very surprising golden hue which s extremely attractive. Much lighter than I was expecting...
12 oz stubbie in the usual Founders presentation. Founders came to Georgia this week and I've had plenty before, but I've never reviewed this. Seemed like a good idea to crack on with this beer this evening. Mid orange pour with a touch of...
12 oz single as part of a recent haul in Virginia. Stubbie bottle as per Founders presentation. A difficult to describe color; something between a mauve, hazed purple and the skin of light colored plum. Head is minimal, lace follows suit. Nose...
12 oz stubbie as per usual with Founders. Pour is surprisingly motor oil-like. From appearance one might have said that this beer was a stout or even a RIS. Quite viscous considering the style. Head is poorly formed with no head and no lace. From...
12 oz single in the typical Founders stubbie bottle. 2008 vintage. A bit of a disappointing pour. I say that for a couple of reasons. Firstly the color is a wee bit dull. Opaque orange amber body and very little head and lace. Secondly although the...
12 oz stubbie bottle - thanks to Penney from a recent trip to Bloomington, IN, USA. Very large and high head in the Duvel tulip. Bone white on top of the cloudy, orange honey colored body. Attractive and holds up well. It's "Dry Hopped", and "dry"...
Pretty sure that this came from Vancer as part of CEO/Old Farts BIF. Thanks man! 12oz stubbie bottle in the typical Founder's style. Advertised as 7% on the label rather than the 6.1% in the BA db. Lots of sediment in the bottom of the bottle. Pour...
12oz bottle. From a recent trade - not sure who, but thanks a whole bunch. Bright red color - a bit like that artificial sweet and sour sauce that you sometimes get with Chinese takeway (take-out for the Americans amongst us). A really genuine...
Thanks to Hoppymeal for the trade. Ink black pour with a similar viscosity. Tiny ring of head around the outer extremeties, virtually no lace. It sits there looking menacing! Alcohol, roasted malts and chocolate in the nose. A high density RIS with...
12 oz bottle, thanks to Hoppymeal for the trade. Poured into the Val-Dieu chalice the beer is dark brown with a very small mocha head and very little lace. This looks like a cold coffee and that's very appropriate. Alcohol laced, ice-cold coffee is...
On the label it says, "a triple IPA"! WTF?? I dunno, more marketing crap that we have to put up with. 12oz bottle into the Young's 20oz glass. Thanks go out to Vancer as a part of CEO/Old Farts BIF. 13% ABV - Jeez ... Pour is dark orange with a...
Very strange. Has all the characteristics of a very nice malty Scotch Ale but it rapidly goes off in a very odd direction. Its problems all stem from the over developed hops. Dark garnet color with not much head. Good deep color, no lacing. Lovely...
Can you say bubblegum?? Clear, copper colored pour with no head or lace (consistent with ABV%) when poured into the Koningshoeven small goblet. Alcoholic bananas and cloves in the nose which is quite strong. Sweet tastes with an alcoholic warming...
Thanks go out to Brian700 for the trade. Fantastic looking pour with a massive rocky head that has great retention. Copper red body with a lot of clarity. Lovely sticky lacing left behind. Looks? It's a 5! Big hops, but it's really mellow - not...
Very attractive color, a really cloudy, light butterscotch yellow. Nice and typical head, but this fades disappointingly fast. Minimal lacing. Aroma is really very acidic, and although the beer is not especially acidic to taste, there are some...
OK, but not much more than average for me. Dark, Porter like pour that promises a rich experience but comes up a little short. Good size tan head with some nice lacing. Mouthfeel lacked body. Some hop bitterness comes through but it sits against...
This is an absolutely exceptional beer. Utterly opaque, jet black with the smallest of dark, burnt golden heads, it looks dangerous in the glass! Aromas are amazingly chocolately with a very pronounced alcohol presence. Doubtless you will have come...
