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.

Poured with a nice white head. Smell was pine, citrus and caramel malt. Taste was much the same, very nicely balanced, I really enjoyed this IPA. Nice and thick IPA, good mouthfeel. Best beer out of a can I have ever had.

Re-Rate: I have figured out that the lines at Old Chicago suck ass and hurt a beers flavor big time. I will not drink there again. This is now a go to beer for me after drinking it out the the can, (put poured in a glass). Just a monster hop of a beer but that surly twist that makes it stand out from the crowd.

Strong hop notes off opening this one (pine/citrus). It poured a hazy dark red with a huge head (about an inch and a half). A bit sweeter then I like my IPA’s. Had a decent bitter finish. Overall, it’s a tasty beer that I wish would get wider distribution.

16 ounce can. Tulip glass. Mahogany with a medium tan head. Aroma was mainly hops. There was some big hop bitteness up front -- floral and piny hops -- then it evened out with some caramel and sweet notes on the finish. I’m not a big fan of IPA’s, but this is the best one I’ve had so far. Hats off to Surly for another nice brew.

Big hearty thanks to MrBunn on this one. Aroma is all grapefruit...all the way.Pours a dark amber with a very nice head and lace. That said however, the flavor didn’t blow my socks off. Not in a bad way, but I just expected a more powerful bitter here.Some good malty characteristics, some floral and pine notes, but pulls through a little weak.Finish is bitter and a touch metallic at the back of the throat.All together its still damn drinkable...That smell is fantastic.

TAP: amber pour, aroma of citrus, pine, and hop. Taste is sweet citrus hops with some malt to back it up, with a dry hop finish with a little alcohol presence.

Deep amber color, sligh head. Powerful piney, resinous hop aroma. Is wrong that I now have wood? Flavor is intense, yet the beer remains dangerously drinkable. Bravo.
