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.

Pretty much my favorite ipa, a left hook of hops to your palate. Everything Surly makes turns to gold, but this is their best beer from their usual suspects

jkwood04 (2298) - Connecticut, USA - MAY 15, 2013
Pint can in a tulip. Pours brownish/ruby with a lacy, light beige head. Aroma strong of citrusy and piney hops balanced by a nice light cereal/pale/caramel maltiness. Flavor the same with a strong hop profile throughout. Smooth to average texture. Lives up to the hype.

Marheb (1180) - Montréal, Quebec, CANADA - MAY 13, 2013
Ce breuvage est axé sur les malts autant en arôme qu’en bouche. Le nez est spectaculaire, la bouche un peu moins mais la complexité du malt compense de façon magistral. Une belle résine habite le liquide, sapins, fleurs et une honnête amertume.
