Founders, Red's Rye PA

 Nice brown/red color.  Most lacing I've ever seen.  Right when you open the bottle you get punched in the nose with an amazing pineapple, nectarine and rye aroma.

I'll admit that I had a hard time starting on this one.  It's heavy hop characteristic and 70 IBUs were way more than I'm used to.  This beer is definitely tuned for the hop-lovers (not me).

I warmed up to it a little bit about halfway through the glass.  I slowed down and sipped.  Just can't get over that bitter hop-earwax aftertaste.

The IPA yuppies probably love this one.  It's just not for me.  Not terrible... just not for me.
