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.

Joe Lunchpail says Furiously Surious
March 31st, 2008
The strong hops and piney flavor may cause most casual beer drinkers to recoil in horror. Resist this urge. Upon first taste, my ‘buds were surprised as they had never quite experienced this type of flavor. However, after this initial reaction I found that I really enjoyed the Furious and came to appreciate its unique construction. You probably won’t want to knock back a 4-pack of pints at first, but once you acclimate to its hoppy goodness, you may find yourself changing your tune.
