COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Like Hops? You’ll like this fire-hued beer. This is the beer I have always dreamed of making. This is the beer that would come to mind while spending the last two years tearing down walls, hanging sheetrock, moving kegs, power washing the ceilings, arguing with various agencies, and cutting the water main. Without Golden Promise malt, made by family-owned Simpsons Malt, Furious would just be pissed offed. From Scotland, this malt is still produced in the tradition of turning over the barley by hand, resulting in a malt that is unsurpassed in its quality. Golden Promise is also used extensively by premium whisky distilleries such as The Macallan. This malt provides the backbone for the intense hop character. Four American hop varieties are used at a rate of over three pounds per barrel. The result is a rich malt sweetness infused with bright hop flavor and aroma from beginning to end. Oh yeah, it’s about 6% alcohol and around 100 IBUs.

A - Pours a clear copper red color with a big finger of frothy off-white head. The head fades slowly down to a thick ring around the glass leaving behind some nice lacing. S - Aroma is full of piney and floral hops. There is also some fruity esters, some malt beneath, and a bit of citrus as well. T - Starts out with some strong hops flavor and lots of grapefruit. There is some sweet malt in the background to provide some balance. Through the middle some strong bitterness and floral flavors come through. But of light fruit in the mix. The finish is a mix of hops bitterness and some background malts and grapefruit that linger nicely. M - Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Really smooth and crisp. The lingering bitterness is fairly strong and leaves a nice dry mouthfeel. D - Very drinkable. Very nice and powerful hop profile. There is also enough malt and fruit flavor to balance out the flavors.

The perfect IPA, great appearance, great taste, great beer. The hints of pine hops and citrus hit you at different levels with each sip creating a great overall experience. Surly is doing something very right, if you have the chance, try this beer!

Pours reddish copper with small head. Pine and citrus on the nose. Lots of bitter citrus with a medium body and pleasant finish. Nice beer, I wish it was available locally.

jzzbassman (1255) - New Albany, Mississippi, USA - APR 27, 2011
Aww yeah!!! Another great can from Tyloanderso. Ruddy hued beauty with a creamy thick head. Hoppy delight of an aroma belies the wonderful balance of malt and hop in the flavor, on top of a great long pleasingly bitter finish.

spilledpint (277) - Iowa, USA - APR 27, 2011
12 oz. bottle from Minnesotan’s fridge Ar: Hoptastic aroma. Crap ton of citrus, some pine. Touch of caramel. Ap: Pours a deep hazy copper with a pillowy 1 1/2" head atop my tulip. Excellent head retention. Great lace. T: Citrus rind and resin from the hops. Moderately sweet with caramel notes, but dominated by hoppage (not that I’m complaining). Packs the bitterness wallop of a IIPA. P: Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation. Very clean palate. O: Excellent IPA. Definitely the most thoroughly hopped standard IPA I’ve ever had, and this was damn enjoyable for 16 oz.

Amber pour with off-white head. Aroma is citrus and pine. The flavor is the same with some caramel malts. Nothing overly impressing but definitely good.
