All Day IPA

The beer

All Day IPA NA makes its case on drinkability. It pours gold with a light haze and a cap of foam that settles quickly. There’s just enough citrus on the nose to suggest a brighter sip, but that note grows fainter on the palate. A gentle hop bitterness takes over, giving the beer a recognizable IPA profile even as the body feels thin.

Founders lists this beer at 42 IBU, the same figure it gives the original All Day IPA. In the glass, the bitterness came across as light. That distinction matters here because bitterness is the clearest part of the beer’s structure. It gives the sip some shape, but with the citrus fading early, there’s little development across the palate. A brighter citrus note that held through the middle of the sip would give the hops more presence without asking the beer to be heavier or more bitter. As poured, it’s an easy beer to come back to when you want a gentle IPA. The score reflects that everyday appeal, with the thin body and limited flavor development keeping it below the more expressive examples in the category.
