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 an amber color with a small, off white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of pine, citrus, grapefruits, floral hops, caramel, and light toast. Taste of citrus, pine, sticky caramel resin, and grapefruit, with a dry, hoppy, light alcohol finish.

Tap at Acadia Cafe. Dark red/copper color with a medium head. Strong piney hop aroma. More piles of pine for the taste with some more citrusy notes on the finish. A little grain in the background which makes a nice, albeit small, counterbalance to the hops. A little overboard on the hops for me, but a good IPA (an amber this can not be).

Bottled. Thx Marsiblursi. Redish colour, average sized head. Lots of grapey, piney hops in aroma along with black tea, with solid malts backing it up. Caramelly, toffeeish maltiness is sensed, but most dominant are the hops here, with grapes and mandarines. Bitterness comes early and is pretty edgy, salty. Spiderweb bitterness. Pretty light odied at this abv-level, would gain from more maltiness in body. Long, long bitterness.

16 oz. can poured a clear tarnished copper with a lingering ring of amber foam. Aromas of carmel, tangerine, pine and light tropical fruit. Palate was medium bodied and crisp with a dry finish. Flavors of carmel, pine, grapefruit and light orange zest with a crisp lingering bitter finish.

Can shared with and courtesy of HogTownHarry. I’m pretty excited about this one, thanks for sharing Harry! Pours a slightly cloudy amber-orange with an average size diminishing off-white head. Aroma: Oh fuck yeah, that smells so good! Lots of pine and citrus hops nicely backed by caramel malt, it’s pretty much as good as an IPA can smell. Flavour’s no slouch either, it follows the aroma with lots of pine and citrus hops and just enough malt backing it up, some fruit, a hint of spices and a long bitter finish. Medium bodied. Wow, there’s no question this is the best IPA in a can I’ve had yet and one of the best IPAs I’ve had period. More please!

Pours a lightly hazy golden amber with an average creamy off white head. Aroma of grapefruit, orange, great fresh hop aroma, caramel malt balance. Flavor of grapefruit, caramel malt balance followed by a great hop bitterness on the back of the tongue.

Canned. Rather light body, but with a full assault of the hops. More a showcase for the hops, the maltiness underneath does not stand a chance in this duel!
