Surly Furious

Brewed by Surly Brewing Company
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Brooklyn Center, Minnesota USA

Can from GenoG. Thanks Adam! Pours an orange amber with a small white head. Huge aroma of caramel malts, and tight, earthy citrusy hops. Flavor is equally tasty with a lot more hops and a nice malt backbone to balance it. Well made ipa. Wish I could drink this everyday. Do these come in 30 packs?

1 pint can courtesy of theisti, damn cool pint cans, I love the gimmick, thanks Tim. Poured into a wine glass with medium-light head. Its a darker IPA with a dark thick reddish amber color. Cannot see through it, some light translucence, some clarity. Aroma really in the DIPA territory - lots of hops and ample caramel maltiness. A citrus-y pine tree with ammonia type sweetness. Taste is too hop-water, which I often dislike. A bit thin on other flavors leading to an overly abrasive hop flavor that ends in a long too strong bitterness. Moderate carbonation. 7/4/6/3/15

Re-rate: Tea Bagged Furious version, sampled at Darkness day. This was very different than the first batch of the cans that I tried (maybe I should revisit the cans as well). Obviously, the aroma is much happier but without being aggressive either. The cool thing is that the flavor lost that caramel maltiness that made the beer too mucky and sweet. It was also very dry at the back end and much better attenuated. I liked this stuff a lot more. 7/4/7/3/16.

Can via trade. Nice copper pour, thick head. Floral aroma. Flavor is nice, some piney hop, with a nice balance of malt, nothing is overdone with this one,good.

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.

Can Pours a deep redish amber with a light tan head. Big woody bitter aroma. Flavor was very bitter and a bit of sour fruit at the end. Big long late IBU bite.

Can with thanks to DalzAle. Pours a coppery body with a small/medium head of dense tan foam. Aromas are sharp and cutting pine... smells like the blue spruce we had in the house this past Christmas season. Man is that a great flavor... tastes just like a blue spruce. That said, it does come across as a bit thin at times... don’t know if it is the malt presence being overwhelmed or what. Pretty darn good stuff.

thanks incutrav for the trade...muddled dark copper color. aroma dominated by sweetened grapefruit (the actual fruit inside), fresh grass and pine. probably the freshest most alluring smell i’ve ever gotten from a beer...ever. medium bodied with a creamy mouth feel that only improves as it warms a bit. pink grapefruit skins and rosemary dance around in the grassy wheat bread flavor. honey notes and malt balance out the huge dose of hops that bites at the tongue from beginning to end. i was actually a bit intimidated to drink this after reading some of the reviews but it is very well balanced and surprisingly easy to drink. pairs really well with a peppered turkey sandwich on wheat with lots of mayo...hmmm...thanksgiving?9/5/9/4/19/4.6

fresh and straight from the can... incredibly slick full mouth feel. thick like drinking cream...9/5/9/5/19/4.7

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.
