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.

16 oz. can courtesy of a trade with mashmaster. Pours a cloudy amber with a moderate off-white head that lasted until mid-glass and left a layer of foam with each sip. Strong aroma of pine, grapefruit and caramel. The flavor is similar, although it is more dominated by the pine and there is less of a caramel malt base than the aroma would suggest. Bitter hoppy finish. Truly a beer for the hopheads!

Thanks to hellomynameis for a very nice IPA. This is the second IPA I’ve had which was packaged in a can. Both have been very good. It pours a nice dark amber color with a frothy head. the flavor is nice and hoppy with some malty backbone. Very enjoyable..

UPDATED: SEP 2, 2008 Thanks a ton tytoanderso. Pours a rich ruddy orange amber with a thick two finger creamy light orange head. The aroma was thick citrusy hops, orange and grapefruit, sweet malts, pine, spicy hops. The flavor is full and hoppy, citrusy, waxy, sweet caramel, piney and spicy. The mouthfeel has no carbonation, weird it had plenty in the pour. Waxy finish.

beerinmarch (2830) - Washington, USA - OCT 6, 2008
Very dark amber with a soft off-white head. Big piney hop nose. Bitter right off the bat, spicy and hoppy throughout. Palate is run with carbonation, hops giving a resiny and oily quality. Defiantly bitter, unrelenting, and sharp, but if you take balance out of it, still enjoyable.

zach8270 (2803) - Henrietta, New York, USA - FEB 21, 2011
(beer tasting @ Monty’s Krown - Rochester, NY: can - 500 ml) Copper color with a thin white head. Heavy and peppery hop aroma at the start with some light citrus and caramel underneath. Big and juicy hoppy flavor at the start with a lovely grapefruit and citrus counterbalance. Finishes sweet and hoppy with a very light and dry aftertaste.

On tap at The Local Option in Chicago. Pours dark brown with a thick off-white head. The aroma is earthy, piny and floral hop goodness along with a solid deep toasted malt balance. Medium / thick body that is smooth for the style with some nice semi-soft carbonation. The flavor starts with very earthy hops, pine cones and the sturdy malt of the aroma. The finish is sticky with resiny hops. Very nice IPA ~ wish I could get it in my area.

patrick767 (2772) - fort wayne, Indiana, USA - MAY 31, 2009
can at Fort Wayne tasting - Pours hazy orange with a lingering off-white head. The aroma is mostly citrus hops. Flavor is big citrus hops with some mild malt backing. It’s medium bodied and of course finishes with long lasting hops bitterness. It’s good, don’t get me wrong, but given the rating I thought I’d enjoy it more.
