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 pour into pub glass from Friar Tuck, Crestwood. Appearance is lightly hazy light brown with tons of sparkle, 2-finger width beige foamy head with excellent retention and nice soapy lacing. Aroma is dank pine and citrus over malt backbone. Taste is similar to aroma with dank piney resin, mild citrus and more prominent caramel/bread malt backbone. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste with dry, lingering bitterness. Overall, the west coast danky bitter is not my favorite IPA but this one manages to offset quite a bit of bitterness with enough malt balance to pull it off. Well crafted.
