Description
Great Beer Above All Else

Surly: The frustration we felt when we couldn't find a good beer, much less a great one, in Minnesota. So we made some.

Great beer is all that really matters. Well, that and pushing your limits a bit, looking out for your people, taking pride in where you’re from, and having as much damn fun as you can while doing it.

Brewed Aggressively in Minnesota

Aromas are Brett, spice, dry grain, Band-Aids and spice. Flavors are somewhat similar to nose, easy tart but otherwise kind of on the bland side. Alcohol is well hidden. Easy drinking tart beer. But nothing special.

Taste is coffee flavoured, slightly roasty, dark malty, minimally diluted notes of mocha, a touch of instant coffee, subtle residual sweetness.
