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 thanks to Tharreld. Pours a darker amber color with a tan head. Aromas of grapefruit, citrus, touch of sweetness and hops. Flavor is dry of the bat with citrus flavors and some peach with slight sweetness. Nice bitter finish.

Poured into a pint glass. Big thanks to jkblodge for this extra. 4.0 A: Clear orange amber color. Two fingers of frothy, yet dense head that retains exceptionally well. Super sticky and leaves tons of lacing. 4.5 S: Lots of citrusy and piney hops and lots of sweet malts too. Grapefruit and orange citrus with resiny pine. Though the hops run the show, the malts give strong aroma too. Lots of caramel sweetness. 4.0 T: Drier than I expected, yet still not super bitter. Hop flavor centers around resiny and piney hops with grapefruit in the background. Malts aren’t as complex as in the nose and lend a soft sweetness with a touch of toastiness. Still, this is very tasty. 3.5 M: Light body. Reasonably creamy and super smooth. I know a lot of people like a low FSG with their IPAs, but I like thicker, maltier bodies on mine. 4.0 D: Great aroma and taste, but mouthfeel could use some reinforcement. That said, I’d never turn one of these down. A well crafted beer, but could be hoppier. Serving type: can Reviewed on: 12-23-2009 02:38:52

Can, enjoyed while I entered the 22 ratings from the last two tastings I attended. One of the most balanced and easy drinking IPAs ive ever had. The citrus, bitter, flower, and hops are balanced. bitter finish to boot. I wish I could buy this here.

Can provided by hallinghansen. Thanks a bunch! Pours hazy amber with a thick creamy off white head. The aroma is passion fruit, citrus, grape fruit, caramel, mango and light grape fruit. The flavour is quite citric with lots of fruity notes as mango, passion fruit and peach. Long citric finish. Great!

500ml can thanks to tbadiuk.
Appearance : Clear ruby red with a small head.
Aroma : Great leafy hops. Nice passion fruits.
Taste : Nice fresh and leafy hops with light caramel. A bit oily and sticky. Finish leafy with notes of passion fruits. Sharp bitterness. Dry finish.
Overall : Very soft carbonation but still a bit fizzy. Right on spot for the beer I think. Very nice stuff. Great presence of caramel (not too much). Very drinkable. Lots of hops. Awesome beer.

AwYeh (102) - Canton, Ohio, USA - JAN 8, 2011
UPDATED: JAN 9, 2011 Pours a hazy orange amber color, with two fingers of frothy head and a huge amount of lacing. Smells of pine hops, grapefruit, and bready caramel malts. Taste builds on these three main elements, with a mostly bitter finish and some lingering citrus. Moderate carbonation and medium body; very enjoyable and I would love to have another.
