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.

#530 for this beer. 16oz can. Dark copper with a white head. Piney aroma, some caramel notes as well. Pretty bitter, not super harsh though, it lingers slightly, but in a good way. Pretty good

Draft from Sheffiels. Poured a deep red with small white head. Smells of citrus fruits. Tastes included malts, citrus, and pine. Good mix of the three. Very hoppy, and a very good brew!

Can. Pours amber coloured nice creamy off white head that leaves nice lacings in my Atlas glass. Fruity aroma with notes of caramel, grapefruit, malt and spruce. Flavours of sweet malt, resin, caramel, lemons and a bitter hoppy finish. Great brew.

On tap at Sheffield’s in Chicago. Color is deep copper/burgundy with thin off-white head. Aroma is all hops, very biting pine, grass, and weeds. Taste is light caramel malt, and again huge citrus and piney hops. Medium crisp mouthfeel. Good, but could use a bit more balance.
