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.

C-Bus 7 Can shared by jsquire: Pours amber with a light tan head. Aroma loads of pine, caramel, citrus and earthy notes, I could smell this all day. Flavor, piny, earthy, a nice malty caramel background. Great bitter finish, this stuff was fantastic.

Can thanks to MatSciGuy. Pour is almost clear deep copper with a smallish off-white head. Aroma...ahh the aroma. Straight hop resin and loads of citrus. Grapefruit, melon, peach, and nectarine. Damn that smells good. Flavor is so much more balanced than I expected. Wonderful citrus hops up front with the flavors true to nose and just amazing. There is a malt backbone that keeps this so well balanced. It’s huge, but not rough in any way. This may be my favorite IPA. So good.

Crack! The minute the can is open you can smell this S.O.B., and that is a good thing Go ahead, sniff right out of the can, that aint no Coors Light. Ummmm, smells good. Lets get a glass, hopefully a a glass that is Surly Swag of course. Gluub, glub, glub, ahhh ain’t she pretty. Amber in color with a bit of haze. Your first gulp you can still smell this beer like crazy. Clean start, bite (big bite) of hops, and a clean finish. Where is my next can?

Aroma is a blast of hops, but the flavor isn’t too bitter. Just an amazing mouthfeel and look to these Surly beers. The flavors of spicy hops and pure grains practically freakin’ dance in the glass.

Thank you Shannon!!! Slightly reddish golden brown. Citrus! Some pine and tropical (pineapple-mango) in there as well. Bitter, and flavorful, perfectly balanced with a sweetness that would be too much in other beers but just right here. WOW. Smooth as mothers milk, coating the tongue with a marvelous flavor that lasts for minutes after a gulp. That it comes in a pint can makes it that much cooler.

Courtesy of Oslo, Ratebeer tasting under the Bridge 12/9. Wow, a beer like this in a can, unbelievable. Looks like it should contain cheap bourbon & coke mix. Dark amber with white head, pine citrus aromas. Beautiful caramel sweetness balanced out with seppo hops galore. I wish they sold these here in oz i’d buy it by the carton.
