Jun 9, 2007 Updated: Jul 4, 2009I had this on tap at Sunsets in Wayzata and it was real fresh. This is a great beer to enjoy on a sunny day. They serve it in a frosted mug which worried me. I usually think beer can be too cold that way. But this beer has so much flavor that it is a bit overwhelming if you let it get too warm. But it is full of complexity that is balanced well.

Aug 10, 2009 16 oz. can thanks to tennisjoel. Dark orange pour with a creamy off-white head. Strong piney, grassy, and citrus hop aroma. Bitter hop flavor of mild grapefruit and pine with just a slight toffee sweetness to balance. Not sticky at all but just perfect for an IPA. This is one the better IPAs I’ve had.

Dec 10, 2009 Big thanks to mashmaster for that can. Looks not spectacular, the beer in the glass a bit darker than exspected, nice small head. Very hoppy-flowery aroma. Beer starts hoppy-fresh, flowery grasy. Very complex hoppy notes, not too dry. Modest bitter in the background. Also a bit fruity. Well balanced finish, very drinkable. A great beer!

Apr 29, 2008 Can pours a hazy dark amber/red color with a thick off white head. Has a sweet caramel pine smell. It blends together nicely. Has a medium mouthfeel. Tastes like sweet caramel candy, pine, and has a nice sticky hop aftertaste. Overall I really like this beer and would have it on hand for trips all the time because of the can.

Jan 27, 2008 Updated: Feb 1, 2008On tap at the Blue Nile in Minneapolis (great bar/restaurant). Dark amber in pour with a nice finger thick whitish head. The aroma is great! Citrus and piney hops as well as a bit of maltiness. The taste is again citrus (grapefruit and orange peel) and definite pine but there is a bit more of the malt here as well. Nice bitterness that stays with the beer throughout. Surly makes me happy to live in the Cities!

Feb 20, 2008 Trade with ketchepillar. 16 oz can poured a deep amber color with red highlights. A small head that disappeared quickly sat in a ring around the glass. Great grassy and hop nose to the pour. The smell even reminded me of sweet herb (so did the flavor). Some sweet malts as well. First taste was a grassy bitterness that was not overwhelming. This was followed by a great maltiness to balance it out. Very nice IPA. It is not way over the top like some IPAs are moving. I hope Surly will soon be in MD.

Aug 2, 2008 Updated: May 14, 2009I love hops, and what was nice about this beer is that they are all over the place. At the brewery, Surly had a glass filled with the hops they use in Furious and I sat there just smelling them. Incredible aroma. The beer, the same aroma thats sweet. Dark golden orange color with a white head. Flavor was hops with hints of malt. Smooth with a great bitterness. mmmmm hops.
