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.

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.

16 oz can. Clear copper color with a thin white head that left uneven lacing around the glass. Moderate grapefuity hop aroma, some spicy malts lurking beneath. Palate is quite a bit thinner than expected for such a full aroma and appearance. Nice grapefruit rind hop kick to start with some floral components. Mild hop finish with a hint of soap character on the back end. Good base, but the weak palate and odd soapiness at the end holds it back some.

Lots of hops all over the place on this golden orange colored beer from a 16 oz can. Thanks to toncatcher for sharing. Hops continued through the flavor with some decent malt backbone. Not too bad. I liked it.

Can sampled with Steg. The first thing I thought was cans ? But this one was really good. Big hop aroma with a brown pour and off white head. Taste delivered a big hop presenc as well as pine and alcohol. Really good but not blended as good as it should have been.

Can sampled with Mad_indian, thanks to Faro99 for sending this to me. Pours clear mahogany with a short tan head. Aroma of caramel malts, citrus, and piney hops.The flavor is citrus, spices, and heavy bitterness upfront, mellowing out, and finishing dry.
