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 via trade with mreusch - Pours a slightly hazy deep amber color with a one finger thick off white head. Light lacing. Aroma is big pine and citrus hops and light malt in the background. Flavor is big hops (citrus and pine) and with some sweet floral fruitiness to it. Quite bitter, but goes down quite easy. Slight lingering hop aftertaste. Medium body. A very good beer. Thanks Matt.

Storm (2685) - Amager, DENMARK - JAN 5, 2008
Can Amber colour with a nice head. Lovely aroma of grapefruit, citrus and very floral endeed. Very hoppy and very bitter endeed. Incrediable that they can put so much hops in that can.

Red-orange amber with great head. Profusion of Cascades assert themselves on the nose. Great raw hop presence. Flavor starts of promisingly, with Cascades, but a watery finish detracts. Solid, consistent bitter underpinning throughout. Wanted this to be better. Would try again.

big angry peaches in the aroma. Full malt keeps the powerful hop flavor from being overwhelming. Good.

GregClow (2645) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - AUG 12, 2007
Can via trade with piscator34. Deep copper-amber, slightly hazy with a few little chunky floaties, and a small white head. Fantastic aroma and flavour of green, citric hops and rich, slightly peaty malt. Great mouthfeel as well. This is one big, beautiful beer. Thanks very much, Kris!

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.

Pint Can coutesy of Skyview. Aroma malted sweet citrus on the nose. Amber body and with a easy pour a thin head. Flavor was average grapefruit with medium bitter hop at first. Middle to finish citus bust of sugary ornges and grapefruit had me saying this is more like it. Good refreshment while watching football on a Sunday afternoon.
