Furious
Surly Brewing Company

 

 

 

 

Very slightly hazy copper color with a substantial and lasting white head and lot of nice lacing.
The aroma is pine resin and citrus with a nice bready background.
The taste is grapefruit, pine resin, lightly toasted bread, slightly sweet caramel, moderate bitterness level. The finish is dry with lingering pine and grapefruit zest.
The body is medium, moderate carbonation, very smooth.
Altogether, this is an exceptionally tasty brew that makes you want another, a very nice brew for the hops lovers.

 

 

Poured from a can. Caramel in color with a large tan head and some lacing. Smells of pine, grapefruit, and caramel. Flavors are more towards the pine side with hints of citrus.

First beer that I've had from Surly as I found this at a Total Wine in Tempe, Arizona while I was out there recently. Heard a lot about the Abrasive but this easily fit the bill as it was a wonderful IPA with a ton of body and flavor, as it nearly felt like an Amber / Red Ale!

Loved the chestnut hue to this as it was topped off by a *ton* of thick, bready head that stuck around and clung to the side of my pint glass, in the form of deep rings of lacing. A fine haze was in this as there was a ton of caramel, pine, and earthy hops in the nose with them being much stronger in the taste. Some herbal tea spice and bread rounded out the flavor as this was one to fly out of my glass quickly, as the carbonation was just light enough to keep this from feeling too heavy. Orange pith and deep earth emerged as this warmed up, as everything faded nicely once I finished this off.

This had a bit of booze, but nothing excessive, as it complemented the flavor profile quite nicely. Canned on 3/16, this looked and felt as fresh as could be with the impression of a tap beer that I'd easily have again. Loved this brew as it's easy to see why it's ranked so highly on here!

 

 

 

 

 

 

As far as IPA goes, this may be one of the very best. Strong hop, robust, not overly high ABV, clear (thank you), pine and herbal aromas.

 

 

Used to be “scared” to try this when a buddy had me purchase this for him due to the price & ABV. First time I tried one, it knocked me on my a$$ but started to grow on me. Just enjoy in moderation……..

 

 

L: Pours a pale reddish-orange, an off white head, great lacing.
S: Resinous, piney hops.
T: Citrus a nice malty backbone.
F: Not quite thick, well carbonated.
O: One of the better ones....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As of late, I've been in an IPA slump--Nothing has been satisfying to my taste. I visited Duluth Minn. and stopped in to bar and had my first Surly Furious. WOW! What a lovely surprise. So much so, going back to baseline e.g., Two Hearted) is boring... I just want to drink another red Surly. It's the hoppy balance with a bit of bite (rye?). I live in Indiana. and wish they offered it in the Hoosier state.

 

 

 

A tremendous IPA. It pours a deep amber color with strong lacing. Lots of citrus, with some sweetness like caramel or maybe butterscotch. And a truly smooth mouthfeel.
