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.

Can, from trade with akevitt. It pours a brownish golden body, unclear, with a quite small off-white head. Hoppy nose, rather intense, borderline catpee, as well as sweetish. Nice though. Really heavy on the malty flavors, still there’s enough hops to give it a citrusy, resiny flavor. Quite intense flavor, good, but a bit too much of everything in a strange way, I usually really enjoy that. Full body, and an astringently bitter finish lasting for a good while. Nice beer, but as mentioned, a bit too much. (080305)

16oz can-pours a foamy light tan head and red/amber color. Aroma is citrus/pine hops, medium malt. Taste is citrus/pine hops –some bitterness, secondary medium malt-caramel/brown sugar but not quite balanced. Further in and with food balance is better. Hops are dry and some spicing comes out. OK carbonation.

thewolf (8245) - Kolding, DENMARK - JUL 2, 2007
Can. A clear red amber with a creamy off white head and lots of lacing. Aroma has a good dose of floral hoppyness along with some pine and oak. Very hoppy flavour. Bitter, even slightly tart, but still round. Lots of pine and oak at the end.

Christian (8043) - Odense, DENMARK - OCT 10, 2008
Cloudy amber with a lasting white head leaving some lace. Strong hoppy aroma with peach, apricot and a little pine. Sweetish malty, with some peach hop flavour, lots of bitterness and a delicious juicy drinkability.

Can from Mashmaster, thanks! Dark amber color. Oily hops and pineapple in the aroma. Piney and oily hops, challenged by tangerine and loads of pineapple. Long aftertaste. Excellent!
