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.

Can courtesy of mtjoseph, thanks Mark. Massive hop bouquet comes bursting out of the can; loads of citrus aroma, spiciness, a bit of pine, but dominated by grapefruit, slight solvent note. Pours a deep copper with a slight haze, thick billowing off-white head with great retention and lots of lacing. Flavor is definitely balanced towards the hops, with citrus and pine flavors in spades. Good malt character, caramel, toasty, fresh grains. High bitterness up front, with a fairly long, bitter finish. Medium body and medium-high carbonation. Great APA, wish I had regular access to it.

It pours a very dark copper with a half finger white head that stays awhile with excellent lacing. The aroma is very hoppy with very subtle notes of orange and spice. The tatse is hoppy throughout and not very complex. It is not the typical IPA start and finish. Its kinda sweet throughout but hops dominates. Mouthfeel is decent and you can slam this.

16 oz can from the Todd selection...thanks!!! Pop the top and you smell the hoppiness right away....not a sharp, astringent nose...just sweet hops without the sting! The taste matches the nose....hoppy but not hot...the malts mellow things out and make for a very mellow, hoppy IPA....wish I had more...

On tap @ Muddy Pig. Red orange appearance with an off white head. Big piney, grapefruity nose. Sweet grapefruity, earthy, piney hoppy flavor. Grapefruity finish.

From the can and there were only four of them and next time it will be 44. I was skeptical about a tall can of IPA. I’ll build a froth of the aromas and flavors and go beyond. I dunno. It’s good IPA.

UPDATED: JUN 2, 2011 Poured a nice golden color with minimal head. Has a very pungent hop scent, and the taste is very bitter.

sandberglar (148) - Scottsdale, USA - FEB 26, 2011
Cloudy bronze, big frothy head and a piny resinous aroma. A grassy, pine and grapefruit taste with a a great balance of maltiness followed by a bitter finish. Due to all the hype I’d heard about this beer, I had EXTREMELY high standards, and to be honest it fell a little short. Despite that, it’s a fucking awesome IPA.

zach8270 (2803) - Henrietta, New York, USA - FEB 21, 2011
(beer tasting @ Monty’s Krown - Rochester, NY: can - 500 ml) Copper color with a thin white head. Heavy and peppery hop aroma at the start with some light citrus and caramel underneath. Big and juicy hoppy flavor at the start with a lovely grapefruit and citrus counterbalance. Finishes sweet and hoppy with a very light and dry aftertaste.
