Founders Reds Rye P.A.

This seemed like an interesting brew from Founders. A very untouched category of beer made by a company with a good reputation - sounds like it's worth a shot, eh?

Poured out a nice dark, golden ale color with a healthy white head. It smelled of light fruits and had floral hints. It was kind of bread-y too; like fresh rye bread - very pleasant. This beer had a very sharp taste and the alcohol was very present for only 6.6%. It was quite a bitter brew due to the choice of hops and it had a strange aftertaste. This was all in a decent air though - it wasn't horrible, just not great. Sadly, this beer had no body but it made up with it with a nice flow of tastes and textures with a curious rye aftertaste.

Overall, not a terrible beer. Definitely something special due to how outward it is. Not something I think I'd buy again, but it was cool to try once.

Appearance - 3.5
Smell - 3.9
Taste - 3.5
Texture - 3.4
Overall - 3.58/5
