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 is really tasty. On tap. Strong hops with somewhat smeet malt blend. Strong pine and floral flavors but not the citrusness of west coast ipas. Still a great, interesting. Pours a dark deep orange with a light frothy head. Too bad I can’t get this locally.

tomer (923) - Rishon Le Zion, ISRAEL - OCT 29, 2009
At a tasting, thanks David, stable lasting off white head, clear copper colour, aroma of mandarine and flowery hops, strong hoppy bitter with flavours of orange blossoms, and a light touch of malt in the back, strong but feels a little diluted, short aftertaste

DSG (2635) - Tel Aviv, ISRAEL - OCT 28, 2009
Bottle sample at a tasting. Thanks David C. Clear amber color with a white head. Aroma of flowery hops, citrus and tropical fruits. Juicy bitter citrusy flavor with some piney notes and a bit of balancing maltiness. Mouthfeel is a bit watery. A good refreshing IPA.

Can. Pours an amber body with an off white head. Hoppy body with pine and grapefruit notes. Mild citrus, grass and some caramel notes. Grass notes and a solid hop finish. Good brew.

Jabswitch (273) - Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA - OCT 24, 2009
Deep, deep amber. Pine aroma. Filmy long lasting head. Much darker than most IPA. The aroma reminded me of Bell’s Two Hearted Ale which I consider the benchmark of IPA’s that I like. This was smoother than Two Hearted and maybe a little thicker. Not quite the citrus or IBU kick that I found with Bell’s. Nontheless, a great beer.

beernbourbon (919) - St. Louis, Missouri, USA - OCT 22, 2009
Can thanks to MatSciGuy. Pour is almost clear deep copper with a smallish off-white head. Aroma...ahh the aroma. Straight hop resin and loads of citrus. Grapefruit, melon, peach, and nectarine. Damn that smells good. Flavor is so much more balanced than I expected. Wonderful citrus hops up front with the flavors true to nose and just amazing. There is a malt backbone that keeps this so well balanced. It’s huge, but not rough in any way. This may be my favorite IPA. So good.

This was a good ipa. Definitely drink this one fresh. Its an IPA in a can whats wrong with that. I always seem to get these as extras in trades which I pass off to other people as extras in trades as well. Not that I do not like it I do . Just so many of them they need to be drank fresh.
