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.

My standard and also my "go to" for IPA’s. On tap at Zorbaz, Detroit Lakes, MN. Very complex citrus flavors with an aroma to match. Clean finish for such a powerful taste. Much better than two hearted IMHO. Never let me down, except for distribution. Bring it to Detroit Lakes Muni so I can have it in my bar on tap Surly!!

Amber Orange with a slight haziness. Thin off white head. Tastes a bit dry like a rye red, and has a huge hop presence. Every sip get smoother and makes my smile wider. Oops! *Sushi burb* better have another drink.

Aromas of citrus, resin, pine. Hazy deep copper, off-white head with decent lacing. Taste is sweet with big malty body, and wonderful bitterness that is not overbearing. Very nice balance for the style and the finish dry and bitter. Overall, this is a wonderful beer with the great citrus flavors blended with the caramel and golden malts. Just mmmm.

(16oz can from Alpar). Pours a hazy copper color with a frothy off-white head that leaves some nice lacing. Aroma has resin, some tropical fruit and unripened mango. Taste is sweet mango with bitterness. Light bodied with an oily texture. Nice stuff.

Pours a reddish orange with little. A little past it’s prime, but still has defensible qualities indicative a solid ipa.

I have driven from Chicago to Minnesota just to get this beer for me and my nieghbors. I make a clone kit from northern brewer and it is always the frist keg empty. Even people who don’t like IPA’s love this beer.

Overly hoppy with a robust grapefruit punch. Fine if you like that short of thing, but I think it lacks balance.

Can. Dark amber pour with decent tan head. Herbal and earthy aromas. Citrus and some grassy and floral with mild oxidation flavor tones.
