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’t help but like killer IPA that comes from a can. Pours amber and bubbly, with a nose of grapefruit and lemon zest that powers down your sinus cavity. Sweet yet oh so hoppy, the nose on this IPA is brilliant. The citrus-juiced hops follow through into the flavor, yet there’s a danish-like malt center that give startling balance to this 100 IBU behemoth. A single IPA this big that is this easy to put back makes for quite the achievement. (3/2/09)

Received in trade from Prototypic, thanks for the opportunity. Pours a crystal clear red/orange amber color with a big fluffy off white head that sticks itself to everything. The aroma, well its hoppy, I could smell grapefruit and pine from the can as I was pouring, yum! Sticking the nose a little clser reveals some grassy notes, faint hint of caramel and maybe some grren apple. Taste reveals a resinous, grapefruity pine taste with an almost abrupt dry finish. Lots of resin and some malt sweetness with a smooth bitter aftertaste. Medium body, Creamy/oily mouthfeel with ample carbonation. Wow that’s a great hop bomb, and dangerously drinkable!

16oz can, Pretty nice appearance, a deep orange-brown body with a large, foamy, beige head. A really nice IPA, with a mellow enough malt body to really let the hop flavor shine. Very hoppy finish, coats the mouth in a bitter stickiness. Slight English feel to it, but the bigger ABV and mega-hop taste is all US. Some pleasant dark malt tones in there as well. Surprisingly soft and restrained despite the soapy, piny tones. Well done.

Tried again from the can. Big pine, resin, wood, light caramel and flowers. Excellent and very well put-together. Also beautiful. Can on RBSG bus. From Guyinchicago, I think. Deep amber with a nice thin lacy head. Nice aroma, big, big fruit, dry, simcoe, nice citrus and grass. Smooth body, not a lot of carbonation. Not too much caramel either. Just a bit. Malt is understated, hops take over. Very smooth bitterness, nice citrusy grass. Great stuff. 8/4/8/3/15

Canned, thanks Cletus! Hazy dark amber, small head. Lychee aroma. Mid-sweet with medium body and vital, rounded mouthfeel. Juicy flavour where gooseberry, lychee and winegums dominates. Grapfruity bitter finish. Very aromatic, very good.

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!

can, pours amber with a medium light tan head. Aroma is strong pine, with lots of cascade notes. Nice sweet toasted nut body that is balanced with a nice hop bitterness that is like pine resin and grapefruit. Really nice IPA.
