Surly Furious

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.

Can thanks to toncatcher. Dedcent hops present in this ipa. Nice flavors of citrus and pine.

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.

Best in its home town at the Tripel Rock or Nomad. Along with Oskar Blues, proving that good beer comes in cans.

Thanks to oakbluff for this gem! Surly Furious 16 oz can Moderate pour in a shaker Recent brewing, enjoyed 07/07. Poured a copper brown with a large rocky fully lasting head. Smelt of strong pine, resin, spruce and the whole forest of strong hops, pineapple cake, grapefruit, some toasted grain. Taste was upfront strong bitter piney hops with a moderate sweet toasty malt backbone followed by a harsh bitter resin hops and more of the hops backbone on a lingering resin hops finish. Palate was medium bodied, oily, lively carbonated, and strongly astringent. Overall, this is just awesome. Hops galore with a nice malt backbone. Perfect balance. Perfect everything really. Should almost be perfect, but I let my Steel Reserve drinking friend have a sip and he recoiled in disgust. "Too bitter, man! ", he said. So thanks to ballplayin’ Jordan and his Steelies it doesn’t get a perfect score. I suppose it’s a little harsh if you’re not used to it. True, it’s really harsh and bitter for an IPA. Maybe over the top for some people, but for an experienced hophead this is a nice little treasure.

Nice red-amber body with a frothy beige head. Complimentary blend of spicy hops, toast and caramel malt in the aroma. Big flavor with more toasty, sweet malt and aggressive hop flavors and bitterness. Has a note of rye-like grain. This is like a Big Red Ale and I’m a sucker for those when they’re well-made. Thanks to allendodd for another one in my cooler at BCTC.
