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

Can from Total Wine. Pours a glowing orange pink with a finger of off-white head that lingers. Lovely notes of tangerine, dekopon, resiny dank and toasted caramel aromas. More of the same on the palate with a slight citrusy syrup note. Sweet and bitter with warming alcohol on the finish. Feels a bit old school, but hits nice.

750mL bottle shared by Willrunforbeer on 2/10/24, thanks, Brian. Clear amber, spotty, off-white bubbles on top. Mellow nose with soft rye, perfume, cherry and light spice. Mellow, no alcohol, no sign of lactose. Oats probably soften everything. Spicy rye, light floral notes with a medium, well-attenuated body and caramel-vanilla-toffee lingering. No booze. Not very complex, could use a bit more body, but no issues either.

750 ml bottle. Thanks Willrunforbeer on the share. The nose has oak, vanilla, and honey. Taste is similar to aroma with just a mild hint of wet cardboard in the finish. For the age, not bad at all!

Cellar clearer thanks Brian. Not bad for 10yrs old. Slight wet newspaper but still nice barrel notes.

Can, 0.457l. Aroma of mango, peach, pineapple and biscuit. Pours clear brown amber color with large soapy off-white head, good lacing and sparkling appearance. Taste starts with medium sweet caramel and toasted malt, following is herbal, piney, dried fruity and slightly medicinal, mouthfeel is dry, while finish is heavy bitter. Full body, oily texture and average carbonation in palate. Pungent furious hops…

Black body, thin dissipating medium brown head. Huge fudgy nose with coffee, prune/fruit leather, coconut, and potent oak. Body big, sweet, and sticky, with prominent honey, soy, and fruit leather with some contrast provided by the barrel elements. Ultimately, the sugars win out and I couldn't finish the can.
