Dry Hopped Pale Ale

The Beer Stats:
  • Beer Name: Dry Hopped Pale Ale
  • Brewery: Founders Brewing Company (Michigan)
  • Style: American Pale Ale
  • ABV: 5.4%
  • IBU: 35
  • Pour Color: A nice golden color, Slightly hazy but light travels through.




      Right away on the pour you can see the hazy dots floating in the pale. A nice sign that this one was dry hopped! The head on the top of the beer was fairly lack luster. Came up slightly and disappeared quick. The smell off the glass was quite malty. A sweat wheat scent. The hops scent was slightly grassy. On taste the malts have a slight toasty taste. There is a mix of bitter flavors in this pale. A nice pine and almost lime citrus flavor. The bitter isn't deep but you know it's there! Overall a really good pale.
      Another beer from founders and another good one. The malts are done in a decent way but the hops are the star of this one. Seems more bitter then the 35 it says on the bottle. The dry hop taste comes through nicely on this one and brightens everything up. A really refreshing beer for a summer or winter day.

Rating: ****1/2
