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

Tap at Navigator. Not sure how you manage to make a 5.5% IPA taste sugary and dextrose laden, but they did it. Bold Mosaic, but such an undesirable body. Has that gas station IPA feel. Not that good.

Opaque colour, smallbeige head. Roasted sweetish bourbon aroma. Medium-bodied. Smoot, roasted vanilla bourbony flavour. Good! 4oz 3 bucks!

Aromas and flavors are mainly lightly sweet malt with a barrist hint of hop. A little bitter, okay body and carbonation. Drinkable and forgettable.

Sample, thanks oh6gdx Hazy golden, fizzy head. Aroma of grapefruit soda. Sweetish with light body and clean mouthfeel. Like a spritzy, lemonade heavy radler. No bittterness. Lifeless and void of everything likable.

Solid nice hop juice.
Quite true to style.
Cloudy yellow and a fine head.
Fine intensity in the aroma.
Not to sweet either. Ok carbonation level.
Tropical, citric and pine
