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.

REally has some good hops in the aroma. This is a tasty IPA w’a lot of sustaining hops. Grainy in the end. And from a can too! Great.

GT2 (3440) - Washington DC, USA - JUL 11, 2010
UPDATED: JUL 12, 2010 My 100th IPA rating. Can courtesy of Santa!. Pours a clear deepish amber to red with a massively rocky head, massive lacing of God. Piney, citrus, sappy, perfumey hops, toffee, dirty, iron rich earth. Taste is not too bitter- lots of nice Scotch malt, fairly sweet and creamy with piney, herbal hops. Excellent palate. These cans don’t last for more than a few seconds because the beer is so damn good.

It pours a very dark copper with a half finger white head that stays awhile with excellent lacing. The aroma is very hoppy with very subtle notes of orange and spice. The tatse is hoppy throughout and not very complex. It is not the typical IPA start and finish. Its kinda sweet throughout but hops dominates. Mouthfeel is decent and you can slam this.

Can thanks to a very generous trader. Pours dark amber brown. Off white head. Nose of intense hops, caramel malt. pine, resin and grapefruit. Taste is strong grapefruit, hops, pine, resin and a full caramel malt body. Well balanced. Grapefruit rind bitter finish.

UPDATED: FEB 16, 2007 My thanks to Al (Pigfoot) for this beer on draught at the Blue Nile. A strange beer, and hard to classify. It tastes like an American Strong or IIPA, but the alcohol content is too low for that. This beer has an out standing hop aroma. The hops in this beer are bitter and lightly herbal, but they lack fruit or flowery characteristics. The beer is thick like syrup. Simply hops in the flavor, and loads of them. I got a light hop burn from this beer.

decaturstevo (3387) - decatur, Tennessee, USA - JUL 14, 2007
On tap at Mckenzies in Minneapolis. A large hop presense on the nose. A deep amber pour with a small tan head. A semi sweet start that quickly gives way to the flavor of hops. A bit of fruitiness eases through as well as an excellent bitter finish. Very smooth carbonation and mouthfeel. An ass kicker of an IPA that is smooth on the palate and hops are all over it. Very good beer.

kramer (3376) - Sunbury, Pennsylvania, USA - DEC 29, 2006
16 oz can, via joebrew. Pours a clear amber colored body under a creamy and foamy light beige head that left intricate fine lacing. Aroma is full of sweet malt and lots of piney citrusy hoppiness. Very clean and straightforward. Flavor is very bitter from front to back, lots of hops in the boil for this guy. A nice lingering piney finish. The malt has a minimal presence, just a little toasted note. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a moderate amount of fizzy carbonation and a slightly sticky resiny finish. Overall, a nice aggressively hopped IPA.

Can Via trade with Brewo, thanks Aaron. Dark amber complexion with a large 3 finger puffy white head. The aroma of hopps were immediately noticeable with that nice citrus hoppy feel. Taste is hoppy bitter and strong, got a bit of an arrogant bastard feel, very tasty and it has a big kick. good beer, from a can.
