Formerly 'Mothership Series #7: Mucho Lupu'
We unraveled some of our favorite American hops to get to the juicy goodness inside. Dry hopped with traditional hop pellets along with lupulin powder, an innovative hop product that separates lupulin from the hop flower, Unraveled IPA is incredibly flavorful and aromatic. Wheat and oats form a smooth backdrop to carry all those wonderful hop characteristics, while the pour is beautifully clear.
Hops: Amarillo, Azacca, Mosaic and Simcoe

Clear, yellow color. Medium-sized, white head. Citrus and pine in the aroma. Hoppy bitterness in taste is strong enough to fell like it is a classic IPA. Simple but good.

Copenhagen 10/8 2021. 47,3 cl can from Meny, Borups Allé, Frb. F. Drawing of a very juicy, unravelling, green hop cone with a very yellow background.
Pours unclear yellow with a mid-sized white head. Settles as thin, flimsy, almost transparent layer of foam struggling to cover the surface of the beer. Clinging to the sides of the glass. Moderate lacing.
Aroma is medium intense with a sweet malty slightly fruity odor mingling with citric notes. Sweet pale malts, peach and oranges. Grapefruit and citrus.
Light carbonation. Slightly thick, oily, soft, lightly tingling texture.
Flavor is fairly intense with a medium strong sweetness followed by a slightly stronger citric bitterness. Aftertaste is bitter. Lingers for a while into a dry finish.
Fine strong flavor. Nice, fruity and juicy.

This is another very nice offering from Founders. It's billed as being Juicy, but I'm not getting a lot of juicyness. I can procure a 16oz 4 pack for $10 which makes this no Brainerd. What do I like better and are willing to spend $18 to $20 for do you ask? Any Tree House or Trillium IPA's for sure (The Other Half is also excellent).

Poured from a can into a pint glass. Pours orange yellow with a fluffy white head. Smells of fresh citrus and floral hops. Tastes of citrus and floral hops with just a hint of earthiness. Beer is light bodied and easy drinking, good carbonation. Overall, a very good beer.

12oz can from Craft Brewers. Bright, clear, fine head. Grassy, fruity, hoppy, sweet. Medium bodied, dry. Not bad, but seems a little generic for Founders.

12 oz. bottle, bottled 03/06/2023. I believe I've tried this beer before, but have never reviewed it, so here we go. A rotating release from Founders, brewed with hop pellets & cryo hops according to the label.
Poured to a Camp Crystal Lake stemless wine snifter.
A: Classical IPA in appearance; a nice light golden orange, finger of fresh soapy white head that stays awhile, leaving good scattered strands of lacing on the way down. Looks adequately carbonated, looks very nice..
S: Big blast of fresh citrus zest immediately upon uncapping. In the glass, it has aromas of honey, citrus, flowers, lemongrass. Earthy, pithy, herbal, with fresh-squeezed hop goodness. Smells piney, bitter, & fresh.
T: Deliciously well-balanced stuff, honeyed malt base balances perfect with the hop pairings. Floral, herbal, grassy, notes of lemondrop / zest. Fresh, juicy, & delicious stuff.
F: Smooth, crisp, clean, easy-drinking stuff with a modest abv. Lightly piney / bitter on the finish, but not overwhelmingly dry. I've already killed multiple six packs of this stuff already. Overall, excellent.
Founds Unraveled IPA -----4/5.

This is a good beer! Why? Well it´s cheap; old style start, perfect carbonation, a wild aftertaste and has all the attributes a good IPA has to have. Cheers!
