    "We plan to release reDANKulous Imperial Red IPA in August 2015 to mark the thirteenth installment in our popular Backstage Series. Like all Backstage Series beers, reDANKulous will be sold in 750mL bottles, and it will have a suggested retail price of $9.99 per bottle.

    reDANKulous Imperial Red IPA is a no frills, bold 9.5% ABV India Pale Ale. It pours a pleasing burnt amber with some sweetness due to the Caramalt and roasted barley used in the malt bill. But hops are the true headliner in this elaborate sensory experience. The spicy, piney, tropical complexities of Chinook, Mosaic and Simcoe hops hit you right away with their dank aroma—and they stick around. Take a sip to have your palate simultaneously walloped and caressed in all the right places. Combined, the hops take the beer to 90 IBUs. It’s not just ridiculous. It’s reDANKulous.

    “We love hops,” said Co-Founder and President Dave Engbers. “Simple as that. Our brewers love to experiment with new varieties, new combinations and new techniques. This dank beer is a fun, intense showcase of hops. We hope all of you hop heads out there enjoy it.”

    reDANKulous will be released in limited quantities across our distribution footprint beginning on Monday, August 31, and will be available in our taproom beginning on Friday, August 28. This will be the second Backstage Series release from Founders in 2015; beer enthusiasts should expect one more release from Founders later in the year.

    Check out the making of the reDANKulous label here:"

    I thought the same. Sounds delicious, but a $9.99 750mL Imperial Red IPA as a "Backstage Series" beer? And I started talking myself into thinking we might get CBS again...

    at 10 bucks I would for sure try this, sounds great, have to see what price/availability is around here

    agree it may not be crazy as some one off brews, but I don't think you need special additives or barrel aging or new things to make a great beer

    Big fan of Red's Rye, hoping this is an amped up version of that.

    Sounds amazing, founders has been putting out some great ipas in the taproom lately. The Cheef ipa and the 10k were both great dipas. There is still one more backstage beer and the artprize beer this year.

    Yeeah, agree totally. Add to this I have not been a fan of their hoppy offerings for a while now.

    At least in my area it is gonna hafta be reeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllly good at that price to compete with the many hop masterpieces at lower price per oz. around here.

    I know right?: Like dont get me wrong it sounds good but this is what you put into a seasonal 4 pack not your next backstage. Its like what ever is in the barrels isnt ready so they threw this together. Would have rather seen them skip a summer release if that was the case.

    So, what wouldn't be a lame "backstage series" beer? Define the parameters, please. Thanks, in advance.

    How about this same beer with a toasted oak spiral treatment? How about this same beer secondaried on Brett? How about an amazing fruited gose to cash in on the current love of that style and dearth of great offerings? Just three quick ones off the top of my head.

    According to founders website the backstage series is "some of our most sought after and experimental tap room beers"
    Its not really experimental so maybe it is really sought after in Grand Rapids...if so I feel bad for their beer scene!

    Sounds like an onion bomb to me, I'll have to pass on this one.

    Come to think of it, I've been passing on most of the Backstage series lately. They all either don't sound good or are priced too high when they do sound good.
