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.

UPDATED: JUL 30, 2007 16 oz. can. Nice deep golden apperance...nose is mostly piney hops and caramel. This thing has got the perfect balance goin on. Superb flavor and mixture of hops/malts - with a nice soft carbonation. Perfect for sipping or a pounding session. This thing is exploding with flavor for being 6%. Wish I could try this off tap - which I hear is a lot better. Nice one!

Pours a dark copper color with a cream colored head. Aroma was very citrusy with some orange, lemon, grapefruit and pineapple present. The flavor was initially malty with a lot of caramel, which gave way to some citrus and then a lingering bitter hop bite finish. Good stuff.

Pint Can thanks to photomike. Another great beer from surly. Dark red amber in color with a creamy head. Really nice hop nose with lots of tangerine and flowers and a spicy edge. Nice darker toasted, dry malt profile with lots of citrus and pine flavor but with a relatively soft bitterness up front. As the beer goes down, there is a firmer resiny, grapefruit peel lingering bitter flavor. Pretty light in body and very drinkable.

Had the Furious on tap this past friday night. MMMMMmmm GOOD! Had a few of these, and I could’nt get enough it. Even crossed the border Saturday morning into Woodbury,Minn and picked up a 4 pack of some Cynicale. Anyway, onto the beer.. Pours a beautiful illuminescent copper colour with a big of white head. Aroma is fresh and dank. Fresh hops, pine, grapefruit and citrus all over the nose. A steady of flow of fruit loops and badunka skunk. Really- it’s that dank. TAste is full, peppery, fruity, and hoppy (der) but balanced and young. With such a tastey, spicey finish- I love it!! Beeeeautiful brew :)

Can thanks to ericandersnavy. Pours a nice deep amber with nice off-white head. Aroma of very nice grapefruit, malt, with wonderful floral accents. Flavor of nic crisp grapefruit, malty, earthy, nice aggresive bitter with a hint of alcohol spiciness. Mouth feel is medium-heavy body with medium-heavy carbonation. Overall, a well crafted beer!

FunkyBrewster (1316) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - JAN 20, 2009
Pours dark orange brown with a slight haze and a thick off white head. Aroma is very strong hop resin pineapple and grapefruit with a nice thick floral pine note. Some tasty caramel malt as well. Flavor starts mildly sweet with the same citrus hops and zesty fruitiness. Very strong bitter hop oils and a very fresh sort of resin flavor really give this a tasty bite that doesn’t have any astringency or unpleasantness. Medium body and moderate carbonation. This is a very good IPA. Not the best I’ve had but a really easy to drink hoppy beer.

j12601 (4163) - Poughkeepsie, New York, USA - MAY 28, 2009
Big fat 16oz can from Ty. Thanks a bunch man. Pours a clean, clear, light ruby amber with a very large tanned beige head. Smells absolutely delicious with a huge crisp pine and honeyed citrus hop smell. Medium body, light sweet malt. Finishes with a huge quinine bitterness. Very tasty. Shame these cans don’t make it to NY without the help of a trade box.

A hoppy beer with great flavor balance. Had on tap. Deep in color and long on finish. Other reviewers have pretty much nailed the description so I won’t waste space. Certainly an IPA you could drink all night.
