Surly Furious

[Can] Pours amber with a good sized cream head. Leaves nice lacing on the glass. Aroma is strongly of citrus hops--pretty good. Taste is strongly of bitter grapefruit--definitely loaded with hops. FInish is quite long. Good mouthfeel. IPAs aren’t my favorite style, but this was well done and something I will drink again.

GTMW 2007. This was a cask conditioned, tea bagged (dry hopped) version. Poured a clear dark orange color with a soapy off white head. Aroma was of malty caramel and sprucy hops. Medium bodied with moderate to assertive hop bitterness. Flavors included malty cereal grain, toffee, and citrusy hop. Hops, hops, and more hops. Solid. Re-rate. Growler shared by iowaherkeye. Thanks for hauling this back form Minnesota Joey. Poured a slightly hazy orange-red color. Head was two fingers high and off white with decent retention. Some lace was left behind. The aroma was distinctly of grapefruit, but also a bit sweaty. There was assertive hop bitterness of about 8 out of 10 that lingered well after the finish. The flavor was similar to the aroma, lots of grapefruit, but there was also an ample malty caramel background. This is a good beer.

Can at Chris o Shindig. Amber, ashtray sour and grapefruity hop aroma. That’s got a lot of grapefruit in it. Toffee. Good grapefruit and one of the best canned beers I’ve ever had.

One fantastic IPA...probably one of the most sessionable of the big IPA’s I’ve had in months. Great coppery crimson pour, with a moderately fluffy head that dissapates quickly. The nose is huge grapefruit and touches of pine resins. The big rich malt bottom oozes quality and balances the big bright hop bite very effectively. I wanted to order another one as soon as I finished my third sip...I wanted to avoid the two minute wait between pours...Finishes on a lingering hop slap that is equal parts bitter and dry. NICE!

Can via trade with piscator34. Deep copper-amber, slightly hazy with a few little chunky floaties, and a small white head. Fantastic aroma and flavour of green, citric hops and rich, slightly peaty malt. Great mouthfeel as well. This is one big, beautiful beer. Thanks very much, Kris!

on tap barley johns pours an off amber color w/ an off white head and some good lacing. Big hop citrus and grass aroma some light carmels and a touch of light fruits. Full well coated palate. Flavor is some sweet fruits, passion fruit maybe a bit of grass a good amount of carmel, some floral pieces.. Very nice.

Bottle, Chris o shindig. Thin copper, no head. Slightly sour nose, astringency. Very fizzy mouthfeel. Very very hoppy. Harsh on palate, leaves slight sweet linger.
