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.

big angry peaches in the aroma. Full malt keeps the powerful hop flavor from being overwhelming. Good.

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.

Pours a clear reddish amber color. Big offwhite head. Pine, resin aroma. Some light fruit smells as well. Taste is smooth, muted hops, malt back bone, bitter finish. Nice full bodied beer. I would have pegged this as a double with all the sweetness going on. Word up to incutrav.

Wow! This is the best canned beer I’ve ever had. An outstanding IPA, and no worries about skunking, storage, or broken bottles. If only more brewers were able to invest in canning lines.

Thanks to HogTownHarry. Appearance: Murky/hazy amber with a small off white head. Aroma: Nice hop start with a toasty wood/pine element, floral and malty. Interesting. Flavour: Lovely sweet/bitter hop flavour with pine, malt, grapefruit, quite chewy, nice long hop finish. Lovely.

Can Pours a cloudy dark amber with a froathy tan head. The head lasts well and laces nicely. Has a good hoppy aroma of citrus, grapefruit, pine, and a touch of malts. Has a good carbonation. The flavor is great. Hoppy but not too much. Good sweet citrus. Very crisp and refreshing. Has a medium body. The texture is a touch dry with an oily side. A real good finish with a pleasing lingering aftertaste. A very easy drinking hearty IPA. Waited a while to get one of these and well worth it.

Can. A clear red amber with a creamy off white head and lots of lacing. Aroma has a good dose of floral hoppyness along with some pine and oak. Very hoppy flavour. Bitter, even slightly tart, but still round. Lots of pine and oak at the end.
