Yeah it's fine. Easy to drink, inoffensive amount of hops. 4.5% so you can drink them all day and not get fucked up, plus you can get them in a 15 pack.

I've always thought session IPAs don't make any sense, but Founders is "okay" if that's what you're going for. I'd honestly just go for an American Pale Ale if you're looking something easy drinking but still flavorful, rather than something that tries to combine two opposing styles.

I was considering that too
Maybe something like this?

>>19410011
What this guy said, but I would add that Dale's is better, as far as session IPAs go. Founder's is all right.

>>19410067
Yes, exactly something like that. I don't even recommend Sierra Nevada at this point because I just assume everyone has already tried it. It's been the number one gateway for people who grew up drinking macro lagers realizing that beer can actually be flavorful for over 2 decades now, and it's still solid.

I can't drink IPAs and I can drink this stuff. Make of that what you will. The only other IPA I can drink is Bell's Two Hearted.

What is that the one with the fish

these looks pretty american.

>>19410255
you sound pretty foreign (gross)

>>19410258
i meant it in a good way. it looks cozy

>>19410258
>>19410271
Yeah like sitting by the lake on a summer.

>>19410357
Looks good

A few of my friends got into MTG late in life (20s) and these have both made those weekend sessions a little more fun without making me too stupid.

>>19410070
Dale's used to ship a lot of good beers to Canada at really reasonable prices. Doesn't seem to happen anymore :(

>>19411031
So what do you like

>>19411031
>Imperial red ipa
Sounds interesting to say the least. I like a good red ale and a good ipa. Both at once

>>19409970
weaker than budweiser but twice as expensive
drink it if you like pine but don't wanna get drunk

>>19411076
>daytime easy-drinking beer?
The ones I mentioned, plus English bitters <5% ABV. Fuller's ESB. Not a snob though; I'll have a bud or coors or whatever.

>Canadian beer?
Quebec. Unibroue, St. Ambroise, Dieu Du Ciel, Le Trou de Diable, Les Trois Mousquetaires. I don't even live in Quebec; they just make good shit.

>Best country for beer?
USA

>Best beer in general?
Trappistes Rochefort 10 aged for a decade. Dogfish Head 90 Minute. Boulevard Tank 7. La Chouffe. Weihenstephaner Vitus.

Ontario, where I live, has state-owned alcohol sales. This means we get good prices due to massive purchasing power, but not great variety; you've gotta either travel or wait until good shit is for sale locally.

>>19411081
It's good. Certain American IPAs are kinda... I dunno, maltier or something than everyone else's? Dogfish Head 90 Minutes, Bell's Two Hearted, and Founder's Centennial are good examples of this style that doesn't seem to get made anywhere else.

>>19409970
Mike's the black one

If I want rice beer I'm drinking something Japanese

Most IPA's aren't really for me. If it's cold outside drink a stout or porter. In summer I'll drink some cheap ass mexibeer (estrella - Te estoy mirando) with a lime in it.

>Not a snob though; I'll have a bud or coors or whatever.
But I'm also this guy. If you've got cheap swill (icehosue does not count here) in your fridge, I'm drinking that too.

>>19409970
I've had it once. It's decent. If you think the price is right for 4.5% go for it.

>>19411949
I had seen it in stores and the box looked cool

>>19410011
I much prefer pale ales to IPAs, just the right amount of hops. There's beauty in restraint.

saw this at the grocery store for $4.49 a six pack. is it any good?

>>19412167
Never heard of it. Look like 15-16 oz cans. 6 of them for that price is a steal so it's worth a try. Send some my way

>>19409970
Super sessionable brotendo

>>19412167
I've had Haam's....it's your typical a bit lower than coors type of beer, but I actually like it better. Have a sip and report back.

>>19412167
great price, go for it. love Hamms 30 rack for $15 yessir

>>19410234
Grapefruit Sculpin? It’s good but stronger and hoppier than the others.

>>19412167
best beer for its price

>>19410255
They were. I came of age while living within walking distance of their first small bar/brewery. My friend did that can artwork. Now it is owned by some Spanish company. All Day is a good slow pickle drink though.

>>19412167
Sounds like a deal

Unbeatable taste for the price

>>19413453

Pottsville Piss is the way to go. I can get two pints for less than four bucks.

>>19413453
What it taste like

>>19410234
You're thinking of Dogfish Head. Dale's Pale Ale is from North Carolina.

>>19413518
beer

>>19409970
It's okay. It seems to get worse and worse every single year, but so does Founders. Never something I would go out of my way to get, but if I was trapped at a dive bar or itching for a beer at a shady liquor store, it'd be there.

>>19409970
Literally the only reason to buy IPA is the high ABV. Up to 8% is still not worth it because malt liquor goes that high. 9%+ and we're talking. There is a seasonal release here in leafland that runs September to February that I like

>>19413540
Ah

>>19414102
Bere extra forte huh

>>19415399
I prefer Bēor Mor Strang

>>19415597
wut

>>19409997
I've got an IPA in my basement fridge. I think I am going to see if hops ruins beer battered onion rings or makes them better.
