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.

Fabulous brew. Aroma is of strong hops and citrus. Appearance was an orangish amber with a frothy head. Taste was fairly medium all around, very nice amount of hops. Very nice, drinkable IPA.

UPDATED: JAN 3, 2011 Can (thanks to Beerlando) [first rating of 2011]... Poured an amber/golden/orange with a thick beige head. Lots of hops on the nose, citrus, pine. Incredibly balanced and clean. Lots of citrus, passionfruit, wood and pine notes. Malts were subtle but just enough to give a good body. This was like hop nectar.

This is as near perfection as they come. I want to bathe in this. Beautiful amber pour with a medium head. Thick lacing. The bitterness hits you in the head and begs you to drink more. How could this have come out of a can!

A long time coming on this one. Thanks to Syview! Beautiful Ruby colour. Lovely Piney/Citrus Nose. Good balance. Not overly bitter but very very drinkable. Citrus/lemon finish. I really enjoyed this on my trip back to Los Angeles on the Surfliner. Could drink a four pack of this and be a very happy man!

Can thanks to my friend Aaron in MN. Pours reddish amber with a creamy, sticky off white head. Nose is fruity hops some light biscuity malts, citrus, oranges, sweet floral notes and resinous hops. Taste is sweet with medium heavy bitterness that does linger some. Creamy smooth mouthfeel. Overall not really and IPA but really flavorful with malts, not caramel, and loads of amarillo smelling hops. Really a great beer. How does this style get a whole lot better?

Can to glass. A real IPA for those of us who like hops. Nice looking beer, clear copper with caramel and red highlights. Nice head and retention. Great aroma of citrus, some pine, just a hint of sweet caramel. Taste is much the same, with lingering bitterness balanced out by some nice sweet malt notes. Very nice on the palate. A great drinking beer. Glad I live in Minnesota!

16oz can from Zipp’s Liquors. Pours a crystal clear amber with a tan head and nice lacing. Aroma is very grapefruit. Medium on the palate with light carbonation. Flavor is a nice balance of malt and citrus hops. This is a beer that I wish had broader distribution. You are so lucky Minnesota.
