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.

This beer is a definite staple and theres always at least a 4 pack in my mini fridge. If you like hops and bitterness this is the beer for you.

Can courtesy bu11zeye. He threw this can in my bag before I left. Shit I can smell the hops the second I crack the lid. Pours a hazy reddish orange color. Flavor is less hop aggressive than the nose. More of an earthy flavor with some hoppy bitterness. Finishes dry and hoppy.

Can from bu11zeye. Copper pour with a big white head. Aroma is awesome fruit hops, caramel, and some more great, juicy hops. Taste is caramel, dry, bitter, bread, and hops. Hops linger on the finish in a great way.

There is a lot of flavor going on. Very prominent hops but balanced well with malty sweetness. Well done. Serving: Tap

Can and draft. This is probably one of my best beers to have out in the cites when I can’t find anytihng else that I want. Pours a really nice orange amber color with a nice white head. Excellent aroma of both citrus rind and slight pine notes in the nose along with some sweet malt backbone. Medium mouthfeel and a bit chewy. Sweet malt flavors up fornt wuickly give way to vibrant hops taste. Citrus rind, grapefruit, and pine all in one. Really well balanced. Just an excellent flagship beer.

swenocha (79) - Franklin, Tennessee, USA - SEP 29, 2010
From a can (of course). Deep amber pour with nice tan head. Floral and citrus hop aroma. Even some pine in there. Taste is hop (of course), but surprisingly balanced with caramel malt. citrus/pine on the flavor. Very bitter (in a good way). One of the best IPAs out there...

Surly Furious is a very clear copper ale with a dense khaki head that has outstanding retention and lacing. It has a huge, fresh hop aroma with pine and grapefruit bust bursting out. It smells juicy and fruity. It’s pretty full bodied and super smooth. The hops leave the tongue a touch singed. Oh, this is nice and bitter and hoppy. There’s a nice full hop flavor here. It’s along the lines of Nugget Nectar or Hop Stoopid, but less sweet and more piney. It’s perfectly balanced. After almost 800 beer ratings, this is the best rating yet. This IPA is perfect in almost every way. The can keeps it fresh. I wish I could buy this in Upstate New York!

Poured from a can. Deep amber color and lots of floral piney aroma. Extremely balanced and has some alcohol in the back. GREAT STUFF!
