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.

Tap at ACBF 2009: Deep copper pour with a thick well retained dense tan head. Super resiny hop aroma with some mild peach and evident crystal malt. Fluffy carbonation- evident crystal malt in the flavor- hearty background with lots of piny spruce like character from the hops. Simple and straight forward but damn tasty.

16 oz can from Skinnyguy. Pours a dark, deep copper color with a white head. Nose is piney hops with a nice caramel and grapefruit hue. Palate is fairly thick and fluffy with a nice syrupy feel. Flavors are caramel malt with a nice pine and grapefruit presence. Not overly sweet and the hop presenceis very nice.

Can. Pours a medium copper color with a two finger thick beige head leaving some nice lacing. Nose of citrus, pine and resin with sweet malt balancing things out. Finishes medium in body and quite sticky. Overall a great IPA as expected.

On tap. Poured a dark amber with a light brown head. Aroma is very hoppy, dominated by a piney aroma from the hops. Lots of hops, I detected a underlying fruity flavor.

Hazy copper with a medium tan head that leaves some lacing. Aroma of Caramel, citrus and floral hops with a bit of pine. Nicely balanced flavor with some citrus and floral hops accentuated by some bready malt and caramel. Moderately bitter and abrasive but overall some pretty good stuff.

Such a great beer. Amazing color, bracing bitterness with a full hop flavor without bothering to go into DIPA-land. Intense red, great head, smells lovely. Not too sweet, but really just sucks you in.

50cl can. Thanks to Bu11zye. Pours cloudy orange/amber with a creamy white head. Nose is malts, caramel, citrus and pine. Medium bodied. Smooth. Very well balanced. Was surprised how malty sweet this was. Good!
