Aug 10, 2008 A Mes rate: Can at Chris O’s Pre GBBF Tasting
Glorious stuff. Golden amber looks with a good off white head. Massive pine and spruce hoppage. Good earthy malt backbone. A lick of sweetness. All I could ask for from an American IPA. Great stuff.

Aug 5, 2008 Can sampled at BCTC 2008. Pours a clear orange amber with a bubbly white head. Aroma of pine and earth, actually very reminiscent of a christmas tree. Flavor is spot on from the aroma with lots of piney hops and earth notes with some caramel malt moving into the mix as well. This was one fantastic beer and to think that it was moving from warm to hot when I finally tried it makes me wonder how awesome it will be served cold to cool.

Aug 3, 2008 Clear amber with medium white head. Sweet and hoppy aroma with caramel and hoppy notes. Flavor likewise. Ends bitter.

Aug 2, 2008 Updated: May 14, 2009I love hops, and what was nice about this beer is that they are all over the place. At the brewery, Surly had a glass filled with the hops they use in Furious and I sat there just smelling them. Incredible aroma. The beer, the same aroma thats sweet. Dark golden orange color with a white head. Flavor was hops with hints of malt. Smooth with a great bitterness. mmmmm hops.

Jul 27, 2008 Can@Home. Very sweet and very fruity aroma, also light grassy. I can imagine that this aroma is getting annoying if you get it all the time but over here you don’t get it that often and so I still like it a lot. Orange/amber color, yellowish head, good lace. Very sweet but even more bitter, fruity, pine, grassy finish. Soft, flat, nasty dry in the finish. Too bitter for me and I don’t like the mouthfeel but well brewed.

Jul 22, 2008 Can courtesy of pepsican (Furious as an added extra!). Pours a hazy reddish amber covered by a frothy, off-white head. Excellet lacing is left, but minimal retention. Wow. Aroma of pine and tangarine hops, raspberries and toffe. Taste is decently malty enough to combat the 99 IBUs that come in like a bunch of pine needles. Some orange towards the finish and a slightly nutty aftertaste that reminds me a bit of Macallan 12. Great can of beer, and a very rich and well balanced IPA. Slightly creamy mouthfeel with nice light bubbles. Wish I could get this stuff when I am in Texas, it would be a constant presence in my fridge...guess I have to settle for Gordon or Dales cans.
