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 from Skinnyguy. Pours a dark, deep copper color with a white head. Nose is piney hops with a nice caramel and grapefruit hue. Palate is fairly thick and fluffy with a nice syrupy feel. Flavors are caramel malt with a nice pine and grapefruit presence. Not overly sweet and the hop presenceis very nice.

ElGaucho (1816) - Minnetonka, Minnesota, USA - MAR 22, 2006
Draught at Bryant Lake Bowl. Nice, sweet hoppy aroma. Inviting and promising. Rich, murky reddish dark amber with a small, off-white head. Excellent lace. Piney, hoppy and somewhat creamy with some sourness and somewhat acidic. Quite strong. Palate is a little rough. Mellows a bit by mid-glass. A great start for a new brewery. Very solid. Nice job.

Fratto (1814) - Arlington, Texas, USA - OCT 29, 2010
Can from bu11zeye. Copper pour with a big white head. Aroma is awesome fruit hops, caramel, and some more great, juicy hops. Taste is caramel, dry, bitter, bread, and hops. Hops linger on the finish in a great way.

From trade via KButler1. Amazing aroma of earhty and piney hops. A whiff of caramel. Attractive red/orange color, translucent, large white head. The flavor is hops upfront again, piney, earthy, then some caramel sweetness (rather faint, though). The finish is a steady citrus bittering, but not nearly as intense as I had come to expect from the aroma and flavor. medium to medium/thick in body. Very, very good. Thanks, Kevin.

Thanks to beerbelly, I mean hellbilly I have reached another milestone in my lifelong obsession to score 10K beers before I die. This beer I chose for a reason. It comes in a can. I drank it from the can. I have no idea what it looks like or if it has a gorgeous lasting head or not. I can however smell it and it does smell of the IPA style. I drink from the can and I enjoy it. I do however think this beer is highly over rated. Considering th abv, balance, overall complexity and finish I have come to a determination that it is average. But, it’s one of the best canned beers I’ve ever had. Thanks Josh.

500ml can thanks to tbadiuk.
Appearance : Clear ruby red with a small head.
Aroma : Great leafy hops. Nice passion fruits.
Taste : Nice fresh and leafy hops with light caramel. A bit oily and sticky. Finish leafy with notes of passion fruits. Sharp bitterness. Dry finish.
Overall : Very soft carbonation but still a bit fizzy. Right on spot for the beer I think. Very nice stuff. Great presence of caramel (not too much). Very drinkable. Lots of hops. Awesome beer.

Gr0ve (1756) - Oslo, NORWAY - APR 30, 2010
500 ml can. Hazy deep reddish copper. Medium-sized white fine-laced head. Nutty and toffee-like malty aroma with a bold floral and grassy hops aroma. Rich malts and lots of caramel and toffe. Notes of bread and biscuits. Apricots and bitter hops. Nice balance between sweetish caramelly flavours and bold hops.
