Surly Furious
January 21st thru January 27th
Brewer's Description
A tempest on the tongue, or a moment of pure hop bliss? Brewed with a dazzling blend of American hops and Scottish malt, this crimson-hued ale delivers waves of citrus, pine and caramel-toffee. For those who favor flavor, Furious has the hop-fire your taste buds have been screaming for.
Golden Promise malt and four American hop varieties result in a rich malt sweetness infused with bright hop flavor and aroma from beginning to end. It's about 6% alcohol and around 100 IBUs.

As in too much so. The bitter hoppiness was just too overpowering. Which is unfortunate, because I like the rest of the flavors in there. It was better after breathing / mellowing a little while and definitely better with food. I think the thing that killed it for me was the serious bitter aftertaste.
So overall, a good beer, but not my first pick by a wide margin.

you have far too much free time. OR perhaps I have too much time because I found this.
