Served from a 16 ounce can into an imperial pint glass. Poured out a hazy orange tangerine colour with a very large creamy head.
Smell- holy grapefruit Santa!! One of the best smelly IPA’s I had the pleasure of sticking my nose in. Taste is a freight train of hops. Oily grapefruit attacks the mouth. Beautiful.... I am a hop head, but there is more than just hops to this beer. The scottish malt used adds a real depth to this beer and really helps countact the hop attack. I can’t beleive this beer is only 6%. It could pass for a dipa, except a slight lack of sweetness. One of the best IPA’s I’ve had and I can’t wait to get back to Minneapolis to track more down. Mr Furious is a little rough around the edges, but how can you be refined when you are such an angry bugger? I put it right up there against Bell two hearted and Stone IPA- my other two favourite IPA’s.

UPDATED: DEC 27, 2008 16 oz can, thanks again General Gao. Hazy copper with a lasting quarter inch of foam. Aroma is delicious blend of earthy caramel, tea leaf and orange-chocolate. Front flavor is similar with a finish of dirty grapefruit, nut shells and resiny oak. Nice frosting of lace is left behind. The medium-heavy body is smoothly carbonated, hop-tingly and dry. Definitely one of my top two IPAs.

UPDATED: FEB 19, 2007 One of (if not) my favorite beers. I am partial to my local brews and this is the best local there is. The Surly brewing company is still pretty new but they know what they are doing. Beautiful Hop flavor and aroma, with a touch of citrus. Very pleasing to the eyes, with a good head. Whoever said it tastes like Two Hearted (great beer), not even close in my eyes, Taste’s are very different.

UPDATED: AUG 30, 2009 thanks incutrav for the trade...muddled dark copper color. aroma dominated by sweetened grapefruit (the actual fruit inside), fresh grass and pine. probably the freshest most alluring smell i’ve ever gotten from a beer...ever. medium bodied with a creamy mouth feel that only improves as it warms a bit. pink grapefruit skins and rosemary dance around in the grassy wheat bread flavor. honey notes and malt balance out the huge dose of hops that bites at the tongue from beginning to end. i was actually a bit intimidated to drink this after reading some of the reviews but it is very well balanced and surprisingly easy to drink. pairs really well with a peppered turkey sandwich on wheat with lots of mayo...hmmm...thanksgiving?9/5/9/4/19/4.6
fresh and straight from the can... incredibly slick full mouth feel. thick like drinking cream...9/5/9/5/19/4.7

Wow I was very impressed by this, couldnt wait to try it. Very very hoppy, and I was surprised to see the ABV was so low. Had a bit of thickness that carried a good head. Alpha King should be sweating, if this was more available in chicago it may become my favorite out there.

Excellent beer. Big bold bitter hoppy flavor. This one is a delight every time.

On tap at the Bavarian Lodge in Lisle, IL a few months back.
A: Slightly-hazy darkish orange with a good head and some lacing.
S: Citrus and pine hops with a good sweet malt underbelly.
T: Good caramel sweet malt underneath with some sweet fruits mixed in. On top of that are some clear citrus and pine hops.
M: Medium body with good carbonation and not too much alcohol in the flavor.
D: Exceptional. Probably the best American IPA that I have ever had.
Serving type: on-tap

Great citrus aroma, beautiful amber/red color. Tastes like citrus resiny hop juice with a nice backbone of malt. I Love this beer.
