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.

Thanks to Rogueone for sharing a can. The beer pours a lustrous orange-gold color with a medium white head that dissipates steadily. Thin rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of citrus and earthy malt. Light-bodied with sweet citrus and peach flavors along with touches of malt and piney hops. The finish is fruity and malty and lingers. Proof positive that it is possible to make a flavorful and easy to drink low-ABV beer.

Can courtesy of pepsican (Furious as an added extra!). Pours a hazy reddish amber covered by a frothy, off-white head. Excellet lacing is left, but minimal retention. Wow. Aroma of pine and tangarine hops, raspberries and toffe. Taste is decently malty enough to combat the 99 IBUs that come in like a bunch of pine needles. Some orange towards the finish and a slightly nutty aftertaste that reminds me a bit of Macallan 12. Great can of beer, and a very rich and well balanced IPA. Slightly creamy mouthfeel with nice light bubbles. Wish I could get this stuff when I am in Texas, it would be a constant presence in my fridge...guess I have to settle for Gordon or Dales cans.

Courtesy theisti. Darkish golden, lightly carbonated. Aroma is spicy with candied fruit, honey and bubblegum. Flavor is simlar. Sounds complex but it comes across as tightly stuck together, a tad cloying, and a little overdone, not refreshing. More phenolic than it needs to be, perhaps.

Courtesy of tpd975. Thanks Greg. Pours a dark amber/black. Aroma is filled with cranberries and hops. Mouthfeel has hints of chocolate, tart and a little too bitter in my opinion.

Courtesy theisti. Wow, I like the hop aroma on this one with a big citric fruity peachy nose. Dark bread shores up the back end. Hazy copper with a nice but small foamy head. Oh man, starts with a one-two punch of herbal tobacco leaf hops and earthy biscuity malts, all propped up with a big soft pillowy mouthfeel, with light airy carbonation. Crisp balanced finish, with a lingering tingle of spicy hop. There’s alot of hop complexity in this, and a nice malt backbone for being low alcohol. Altogether quite nice.

Scored this in a trade with Scubarex. Many thanks! The tall boy pours a translucent, copper, orange amber with a creamy, slightly beige head that laced the glass heavily. Spicy aroma of pine, lemons and grapefruit. Flavor is well rounded with nice doughy, sweet malts and oranges and lemons. Finish is slightly bitter and dry. Very drinkable.
