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.

(16oz can from Alpar). Pours a hazy copper color with a frothy off-white head that leaves some nice lacing. Aroma has resin, some tropical fruit and unripened mango. Taste is sweet mango with bitterness. Light bodied with an oily texture. Nice stuff.

Can via trade with scoobydank. Nose is sweet hops, soda like nose with the effervescence. Strong pineapple syrup to the nose with caramel-toffee hints. Pours a nice amber hue with a tone of frothy off white to cream head. Flavors have that same pineapple with a strong grapefruit twist. Pretty refreshing. Mouth is pretty sticky with syrup, a mild bitter burn in the after taste.

One of the best brews I have had in a good while. Pours an orangish yellow with a nice frothy white head that leaves moderate lace on the glass. Smells nice and hoppy, lots of citrus, oranges and maybe some grapefruit. A little grassy as well. Tastes of hops and citrus. Orange peels and grass. Smooth but bitter. Not too bitter but just bitter enough to be awesome. I can’t believe this beer came from a can. Good carbonation. 6.2% no problem. Love it.

1 pint can, Fargo, ND, USA. Hazy amber, thick frothy head. Intense citrus aroma, floral, woody. Smooth, not overly carbonated, medium body with a nice bitterness on the side of the tongue at the finish.

Trev (1424) - Lakeville, Minnesota, USA - MAY 31, 2008
UPDATED: SEP 12, 2008 Pours a nice hazy amber-copper with a thick off white head. Aroma is floral hop initially then pine, all backed by a toasty malt. Flavour carries the pine hop through a medium caramel malt body. Finishes dryish bitter. Very tasty.

Thanks to Tharreld for the can!! It pours a dark amber color with a dense orangy head. It has a really great aroma of spruce, caramel, grapefruit, pineapple and mango. The flavor is very sweet and malty with lots of tropical fruit, caramel, and a hint of brown sugar. The grapefruity hops come through strong in the finish with hints of pine and spruce. This is definitely a sweeter maltier IPA with a smoother body (lower carbonation) than most others. Very tasty stuff.

Much thanks for theisti for this one...fantastic! Darker caramel pour with a great big head that leaves gorgeous lacing. Very much floral hops and grapefruit. Medium bodied mouthfeel with strong grapefruit flavor. Pine flavors as well. This is exactly how I like my IPA. Damn, I wish I could get this daily.
