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.

Poured from 16 oz can. Dark amber with reddish hue, minimal white head. Huge nose of hops which masks everything else. The taste was not up to the promise of the aroma, a bit of the sweet malt, that was it. Not on par with the west coast ones.

kmeves (1098) - Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, USA - AUG 26, 2009
Tap at Highway Mike’s: Pours a deep amber/copper color with a large beige head and light lacing. Aroma is medium sweet, very floral with citrus, grapefruit and caramel. Flavor is grapefruit, floral, orange, some caramel and a bit resiny. Very nice hop bite. Medium bodied, creamy texture. Finshes as hoppy as it starts, great American IPA.

AtomicYeti (3) - Minnesota, USA - AUG 25, 2009 does not count
Almost a blend of an amber and an IPA, this one has a nice aroma and flavor. The malt profile has a nice bite to it (probably because of the Scottish Malts), even outside the hop profile.

Can thanks to mashmaster. Pours a amber color with a nice white head to it. Great smell of pears and some citrus. Has a great taste of fruit and hops but not to bitter on the finish. Goes to show good beer can come from a can

Pint Can thanks to photomike. Another great beer from surly. Dark red amber in color with a creamy head. Really nice hop nose with lots of tangerine and flowers and a spicy edge. Nice darker toasted, dry malt profile with lots of citrus and pine flavor but with a relatively soft bitterness up front. As the beer goes down, there is a firmer resiny, grapefruit peel lingering bitter flavor. Pretty light in body and very drinkable.

can thanks mashmaster. Poured a dark redish/orange color with a nice big head. Aroma is nice balanced hops with some sweetness. taste is very well balanced and drinkable. Hops dominate but dont over power. There is a light sweetness through out and the finish is clean. Very good.

Had from a pint can into a glass during a homebrew party. Very nice IPA that is helping prove that cans work!

Sublime! 500ml can bought at Surdycks in Minneapolis Minnesota. The grapefruit aroma leaps out of the can. On tasting it’s certainly more sweet hop forward than malty but the balance creeps in later in the flavor profile. Well rounded in the final analysis and soooo drinkable that it’s certainly a favorite.
