madvike (131), Madison, Wisconsin, USA Jun 29, 2009 Can - I’ve only have four types of Surly so far, but each one of them is ridiculously drinkable without skimping on taste. Not sure how they do it, but I love it. Furious is no different, and is my favorite so far. It’s sexiness in a glass--all reddish-amber and naughty. Smells good too--floral and citrus hops, with perfume and caramel lingering. The flavor starts with hops, but flows into malty, bready flavors. There’s a bit of an oily hop taste on the finish that feels a bit off, but that’s nitpicking. It’s soft and creamy in the mouth--just deliciuos. I want to visit MN just to buy some more. bobbypaulson (100), , Minnesota, USA Jun 26, 2009 on tap at busters on 28th. Pours a nice golden color with little head. smell of flowers and citurs taste is of lemons and oranges with a nice hopy finish that I love in most IPAs. A great IPA very balanced and nice hopiness. leems (57), Portland, Oregon, USA Jun 23, 2009 Can brought back by my lovely wife while on a business trip. Pours a red hued amber with a one inch white head. Aroma is very hoppy, floral, grapefruit, and sweetness. Initial flavor is biscuit and sweetness then great hop flavor. Orange, grapefruit, just a wonderful IPA. It almost makes me wish I lived in Minnesota, or my wife would leave more often as I split my 4 pack with my dear friend beardface and drank my two already. PilsnerPeter (2162), Flushing, New York, USA Jun 22, 2009 Tap at ACBF 2009: Deep copper pour with a thick well retained dense tan head. Super resiny hop aroma with some mild peach and evident crystal malt. Fluffy carbonation- evident crystal malt in the flavor- hearty background with lots of piny spruce like character from the hops. Simple and straight forward but damn tasty. Saarlander (1553), Saarlouis, California, Germany Jun 21, 2009 Can via trade. Nice copper pour, thick head. Floral aroma. Flavor is nice, some piney hop, with a nice balance of malt, nothing is overdone with this one,good. SuIIy (1217), Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, USA Jun 17, 2009 16 oz can from Skinnyguy. Pours a dark, deep copper color with a white head. Nose is piney hops with a nice caramel and grapefruit hue. Palate is fairly thick and fluffy with a nice syrupy feel. Flavors are caramel malt with a nice pine and grapefruit presence. Not overly sweet and the hop presenceis very nice. Snojerk321 (1674), San Diego, California, USA Jun 12, 2009 Can. Pours a medium copper color with a two finger thick beige head leaving some nice lacing. Nose of citrus, pine and resin with sweet malt balancing things out. Finishes medium in body and quite sticky. Overall a great IPA as expected. deyholla (185), Chicago, Illinois, USA Jun 9, 2009 On tap. Poured a dark amber with a light brown head. Aroma is very hoppy, dominated by a piney aroma from the hops. Lots of hops, I detected a underlying fruity flavor.
