All Day IPA

The Beer Stats:
  • Beer Name: All Day IPA
  • Brewery: Founder's Brewing Company (Michigan) 
  • Style: Session IPA
  • ABV: 4.7%
  • IBU: 42
  • Pour Color: Golden straw color easily seen thru




      The Face poured it and we found it was a nice see thru gold color. The carbonation seemed rather high as bubbles are seen all over the glass. The head sat at about a inch and hung around for a good while. The lacing went down the whole glass. The scent off the top was a piney/earthy combination. Much stronger and bolder then most session IPAs. The taste came through as a piney grassy taste. The malts, unlike alot of founders beers, stayed very mellow. It comes across as almost a wheat beer flavor.
      Normally I expect a session ale to be rather light and boring. Although in the vein of most craft beer types they just are too mellow to really be a everyday pick up. I find this one to be different. The hops that a IPA lover is looking for is strong in this beer. Both scent and flavor you get a nice kick. Although since the ABV is lower you can drink two or three of these and still golf. You really might have a hard time doing the same with two or three breakfast stouts! It's definitely worth spending all day with this IPA!
