Nov 19, 2009 16 oz can thanks to Vince. Pours a hazy copper with a small dense off white head that sticks to the sides of the glass. Aroma is pine resin, citrus and caramel. The flavor is sweet caramel malt that fades to a long bitter finish. Mouth feel is very nice, the soft carbonation makes this very smooth. Great drinkability, do these come in 12 packs??? Overall a great IPA and thanks again Vince for this bonus in our trade.

Nov 12, 2009 Tap at Bavarian Lodge. Pours murky brown with foamy beige head. Strong fruity/citrus hops on top of a slight malt character. Very good and refreshing (in moderation).

Nov 7, 2009 can, pours amber with a medium light tan head. Aroma is strong pine, with lots of cascade notes. Nice sweet toasted nut body that is balanced with a nice hop bitterness that is like pine resin and grapefruit. Really nice IPA.

Nov 7, 2009 Compliments of Hophead22. Pours a golden orange color with small lacey head. Aroma of sweet malty hops and some vegetable. Taste is more malty than hoppy with a medium pallet and a dry finish. Not too bad, not sure if the can I got was not very fresh but it was just ok.

Nov 6, 2009 This is my favorite everyday beer. I drink it when I get home and watch the news. I drink it when I go to parties at beer-savvy friends’. Recently, this beer reminded me how important the nose is for flavor, and how important it is to drink beer from its proper glass. A friend brought some Furious to a job-site for me because he knew that it was a favorite of mine. There were no glasses, so I drank from the can. That was about the same as chewing a branch on the Christmas tree. yuck!! This beer (and any good beer or food) is nothing without being able to properly let the nose do its part in developing the flavor. Huge hop nose, Huge hop flavor that is snatched back from the brink by some serious malt depth. I’m constantly surprised by how many people get carried past the malt in this beer and end up complaining about the hops. Maybe it’s an acquired taste, this brinkmanship, but I do love it.

Nov 5, 2009 Can at maniac’s. Pours a clear amber with ample tan head. Nose is great sweet grapefruit and resiny hops. Flavor is caramel, big piney skunky hops. Finish is very bitter and lingering. Very good. And glad it comes in an awesome can!l

Nov 2, 2009 Poured from can into Nonic Imperial Pint.
Dark orange-red, lava-like, persistent 1/4 inch head, lots of lacing on glass. Just gorgeous!
Aroma of pine, pine and pine; some citrus and Scottish malt.
Juxtaposition of pine bitterness and semi-sweet Scottish malts. It seems that there is a slight peat flavor, but maybe that is my imagination since I know about the Scottish malt. Bitter at end.
Relatively low carbonation for the style. Exceedingly smooth, similar to a DIPA. Very dry.
Immensely drinkable due to the flavor and smoothness, but the bitterness really builds on the taste buds. I love really bitter beer, but usually don’t want too much at once.
What is this beer exactly? The high IBUs and feel makes it a DIPA, but the lower alcohol brings it back to regular American IPA status. However, it also has characteristics of a Scottish Ale. Anyway, this is a kick ass beer.
