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.

1 pint can, Fargo, ND, USA. Hazy amber, thick frothy head. Intense citrus aroma, floral, woody. Smooth, not overly carbonated, medium body with a nice bitterness on the side of the tongue at the finish.

Holy lord this is a phenomenal brew. Ridiculously hoppy, citrus goodness, and a tremendous malt background. Absolutely one of the top 2 or 3 IPAs in America. Plus, the can is awesome.

Pours a copper color with a frothy off-white head with very nice lacing. Has a citrusy, piney aroma and a sweet, spicy flavor with a creamy texture. Refreshing!

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 courtesy of kosko20.

Pours a dark red-orange, lovely peach and pineapple nose that is complex, hoppy, and not overbearing. Great malt balance, warm and chewy, even some chocolate whispers in there, playing around in SN Celebration territory. My first time with this beer; it lives up to the hype. Great stuff!

Intensely bitter and hoppy. Very complex mix of flavors--could that be grapefruit? Pours amber-gold, with a fairly nice, thick head. Had on tap and in can on numerous occasions.

On tap at Barley Johns. Great aroma, god and hoppy but not too overpowering. Definitely a well-executed blend of a few different hops. Sweet IPA.
