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.

Can from Tytoanderso - Thanks! Pours a dark amber colow with a medium, creamy beige head. Thick lacing. Nose is intense with citrus, pine, and caramel. Flavor is full of hops, citrus and piney. The maltiness is subtle, this is lives up to the hop loaded hype. I really enjoyed this brew!

Can from Sean. My first Surly beer, and since I have another can from them, it wont be my last. Pours out a dark red color with a nice thick off white head on it. Smell is full of hops, pine, grapefruit.. Damn. It smells like a double IPA. Taste is very thick and chewy (that is for you, Seant), with no alcohol detected. This beer is so thick, I struggled to get the can down. Ridiculous how thick this beer was considering it isnt a double IPA. This isnt a bad thing though, as it is a very good beer. Thanks Professor Sean, I owe you a hot lunch.

Rating #200. 16 oz. can. Pour is deep copper. Taste and aroma are big hops. If this was a blind taste, would have guessed OR or WA brew. Nice balance throughout, and a very clean, dry finish. Overall a great beer.

Medium sized tan head with good retention and a sweet coating lace that lasts. Clear copper/amber colored brew. Nose is plentiful with juicey, citrusy hops, light pine and a light malty sweetness. Body is medium, coating on the palate, invitingly resiny and just a tad chewy, me like it! Plenty of hoppy goodness, fruity, citrusy and bit piney also. The crystal malts are well balanced with all the hoppy goodness. Mildly sweet and a bit bready, doughy. Finish is lightly sweet, hoppy as hell with a big ole hop bite to conclude this ride. For some reson i taste a little Arrogance here, hmmm. One swell IPA, indeed. Thanks to Robert @ ststelineliquors for this bad boy. Much appreciated!! Man i,ts great to be a lover of the Pale Strong!
