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.

I’m just gonna to say it– I hated this beer. Where is the sweet malt and caramel-toffee? All I got was a strong pine flavor that tasted like cleaner. I didn’t even finish this one, had to give it away to someone who could appreciate a beer w/100 IBU’s.

I bet you didn’t have a hard time giving this one away, I just hope you didn’t say “anyone want to trade me a Miller lite for this Surly Furious?”
You know I’m just teasing
