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.

Jul 19, 2008 First off, thanks to pepsican for getting me this. Pours pretty dark for an IPA, but that’s definitely not a bad thing. American hops get the aroma going on this one and give off the typical citrus profile along with a bit of a pine scent. Flavor could be described as sweet and malty with a nice hop flavor and just enough bitterness to balance it all out. I like this one a lot, but it’s very similar to a few other highly rated IPA’s aside from the color.

Jul 19, 2008 On tap. Aroma: Extremely hoppy. Tons of fruity and citrus notes. Slightly spicy with some apricot and malt. Appearance: Brown and cloudy amber with a small white head that remains pretty lacy. Flavor: Tons of citrus hops. Loads of really good malt and bitter fruit.
Palate: Medium body with a very pleasant coating of the mouth. Pretty creamy. Overall: Very good beer. Extremely bitter and hoppy, but an awesome balance with the malt. Great lingering aftertaste. If this was any more than 6%ABV it would probably screw up the nice balance.

Jul 18, 2008 Can: Courtesy of pepsican...thanks Andy. Pour is a translucent copper with small tan head with decent retention and lacing noted. Aroma hits immediately with massive doses of pine, citrus and floral hops...their is enough of a malt backbone to keep this from being too one-dimensional. Medium bodied mouth feel, slightly creamy. Very nice indeed, flavors are massive Simcoe hops and pale malts along with a bit of citrus. I must say I’m impressed with my first Surly brew.

Jul 16, 2008 ON tap. Upon the first couple of sips I thought this is one great beer, lots of fruit in aroma and taste with a nice biscuit backbone. But after 3 sips the fruit all but disappears and this turns into a fairly standard tasting IPA with above average bitterness on finish. Had me at the start but lost me in the end.
