falkirk005 (27), St. Louis Park, Minnesota, USA Sep 17, 2008 Pours a deep copper with a modest head. Aroma is fainter than I’d expect considering the taste. This beer bursts with flavor and while it is quite hoppy, there is not excessive bitterness. tdaglow (41), Minnesota, USA Sep 12, 2008 I’ve been drinking Furious for about 9 months now and this is a beer that just keeps getting better. I’ve actually noticed a considerable increase in hoppieness with about my last months perchases in the can. I didn’t notice it so much as when I’d had it on tap last week at the Muddy Pig. mar (1740), Rowlett, Texas, USA Sep 6, 2008 can thanks to mashmaster. opaque ruby pour with a big caramel head. fresh floral hops on the nose with some faint malts in the back. great thickness and a huge fresh hop flavor that is incredibly delicious. slight bitter finish but this stuff is awesome. BrotherGrendel (551), San Diego (La Jolla), California, USA Aug 28, 2008 1 pint can, contents poured into a Stone OG tulip glass.
Appearance is a cloudy deep amber hue with ruby highlights, huge off-white head of craggy foam, thick sticky lacing.
Smell is honey sweetened grapefruit, balanced by a fair amount of caramel and bread malts, slight alcohol.
Taste is dominated by sweet and sour grapefruit hops that are kept in check by a prominent malt profile of breads, caramel, and roast, finishes dry and malty.
Mouthfeel is medium-bodied, watery texture with an oily resin coating, mild carbonation.
A solid IPA at 6%abv, well-balanced with a surprising malt presence, this definitely has less hops than what we find with SoCal IPAs and it is refreshing to find an example of malts playing nice with hops. bluemooner (229), Blaine, Minnesota, USA Aug 27, 2008 Pours a dark amber hue with foamy, white head and some lacing. Tastes quite bitter but still balanced. Hints of malts, citrus, and pine. A very bitter beer but still has a great flavor. hombrepalo (745), Chicago, Illinois, USA Aug 27, 2008 On Tap @ Binny’s South Loop. Really enjoyable. Pour quite a dark amber glowing color, almost brown. Head is creamy and light tan in color, lots of beutiful lace. Malty, grapefruit, caramel, toffee, lots of piney hops, bitter, citrus, and very well balanced. Slightly earthy and a nice creamy mouthfeel. Very good, enjoyed every moment of this wouderfully crafted beer.
SuzyGreenberg (1318), Seattle, Washington, USA Aug 27, 2008 16 oz. can - thanks to biegman for the trade; pours dark amber with spotty white head; slight haze throughout; a rich, malty beast w/ bitter, dank citrus aromas; rich and creamy with a ton of body; hops are muted (in a good way) with the thick, juicy malts; a great IPA ortenzil13 (4), USA does not count Aug 21, 2008 I’ve had draft and out of the pounder cans. This is a good looking beer with good hop taste. Has some body to it. For the price, its a good find.
