Founders Red's Rye Ale

Founders Red's Rye Ale. Notes from March, 2005:


Blooming red in color, hazy appearance, nice slab of creamy-toned foam sits above. 

Nice hops, rich maltiness, very bright and vibrant, lively and luscious. 

Taste: big buckets of yum. tingly, delcious hops on the palate, warm, full, jam-packed with flavor. Very nice, full of fruit and malt. Incredibly smooth. 

doesn't taste like any rye beer I've ever had, the hops are on the top, and the malt is so ...so, everything. 
this is damned nice, and would be an a shoo-in as a regular in my fridge, were I able to purchase it locally...full-bodied, with a soft, lush fruity finish. silky. 

And I think I said "yum" already...I'll say it three times, then you know it's true. 
Yum.
