look: 4.5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 5

I would have to say that this is probably the best beer I have had from Surly (haven't tried the Darkness yet though.) Easy enough to drink, I finished the whole growler myself in a few hours. Nice and hoppy, just the way I like them. Rich reddish tan color with a light and medium fast head and a hop scent to hang with the best of them. I have visited this brew time and time again since it hit the market in my city. Only available on tap here but that's fine with me as I can fill a growler again and again. Not bad Surly, not bad.

I reviewd this in can form, but got a growler from the brewery and thought I'd review it again as it was that day fresh.
Growler poured 12/30/08

Poured into an oversized snifter snifter.
The color has a bit of chill haze this time around and appears less transparent with a golden orange color. 3 finger cream colored head that just sits there and sits there. Leaving much more lace at the top and thin streaks towards the bottom.

Aromas are much more hoppy in the pine department with big grassy and grapefruit hops, some spicie hop aroma. Doughy creamy aroma's. A bit of a honey punch but damn Its hoppyness seems more pungeant.

mouthfeel is thick and somwhat creamy with a cask like resemblance in carbonation.
Finishing sweet and hoppy then becoming dry with a bittering hop linger.
My pallette is not destroyed after one glass. I can still get all the deliciousness glass after glass. I only had two glasses though, as I shared this with a couple friends.

Outstanding brew, as stated before. I am sad to see these growlers go.

4.2/5  rDev -3.9%
look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.5

Poured from a growler via trade into my DFH tulip glass. Growler was maybe 2 weeks old.

A: A nice amber orange color with a minimal one finger head on a pretty aggresive pour. Remember this is a growler pour. Nice lacing.

S: Grapefruit smells come barreling through with some hints of pine earth and faint sweetness.

T: Grapefruit is so evident on this beer when fresh, mostly grapefruit with a bit of orange citrus and a hint of pine needles. So hoppy but the sweet caramel type malt stands rigth behind the hops. Hops bitterness lingers on the finish of course.

M: Medium mouthfeelt that coats and lingers. No hint of alcohol.

D: High, I finished the growler in one afternoon.

Overall I think I like the Furious a bit more from the can. Some of the flavors pop a bit more from that can and are not so grapefruity as the fresh growler. Still such a kick ass beer that I wish I could drink all the time.

Enjoyed this beer from a growler that I took out of the fridge and let sit for about 10 minutes so it could warm up to around cellar temp. Have had it right out of the fridge, too, but the brewery recommends drinking it a little warmer and I find that it tastes better that way.

The beer is dark with an orangish tint. Too dark to see through but light enough to allow some light through to accentuate the coloration. It had an incredible tan head with superb retention and lacing. Very nice looking brew.

The primary aroma is of hops, with a malty background. I could tell right away I was headed for hop heaven with this one.

Furious has a malty character that hits the tongue first, followed by a delicious hop profile. The finish has just the right balance of bitter and sweetness from the malt. My nose enjoyed the aroma of the hops throughout. This is a superior IPA.

Mouthfeel was smooth and full, the beer's body flowed over my tongue and delivered the exceptional flavor. Carbonation was what you would expect for an IPA.

I really enjoyed this beer. It is a bit 'extreme' in that it takes the IPA style and amps it up, but there is balance here. The hops are predominant (100 IBU's), but not overwhelming. I have found that drinking this at a little warmer temp brings out more of the malt up-front, which creates a nice contrast (hopophobes may say a buffer) of bitter v. sweet. Since the brewery recommends drinking it a bit warmer than fridge-temp, this is clearly the effect they were shooting for.

This is an exceptional beer!

Exactly how beer should taste. It is simply the best beer I have tasted, and quite possibly the best in existence. I only gave it a 4.5 for smell, not because it doesn't smell amazing, it does, but I think Masala Mama, as the best smelling (and right after Furious in taste) smells slightly better. Stop reading my review and drink some Surly.

pours out of the growler a slightly hazy dark bronze. ample head dies down to a skimming sheet. lots of lacing...looks like a beer should when drank...rings aplenty. intense hop aroma, but lots of sweet doughy malts to offset the pine and citrus. quite inviting. the taste is all massive chewy citrusy hop madness. like a stick of that thirst quenching chewing gum. my saliva glands are just going nuts. lots of piney bitterness, too. and lingering bitterness. this "imperial amber" or "india red pale ale" has all the bases covered when it comes to hoppy goodness. 100 IBU's and it's all that for sure. the malt base stands up meekly, but respectively...sweet and syrupy, just enough to further the furious hop onslaught. there is an alcohol spice, cleverly intertwined in the bitter mushroom cloud of hop heaven. the body seems huge, the mouthfeel is all about the assault on the tongue of the spine tingling hop profile....holy cripes. i love this beer...it's hoppy as hell and definitely over the top a bit. drinkability has to suffer a bit just because it's so gargantuan in the hop profile.

a hophead must have...got to have. seek this out. trust me...this one is over the top.

a big thanks to my sis for another surly x-mas gift.

16 oz. can poured into a nonic pint glass. A hard pour brings about a slightly orange cream colored head; very large with mostly small bubbles, really nice lacing to it. Liquid is darker than I would expect for an IPA, sort of a nice hearty amber color. Still very good clarity to it even though it's a little darker than I expected, a really good looking IPA.

Smell is good, a nice solid malt backbone here. Plenty of toasted caramel malt aromas and a wee bit of toffee. Nice hope presence to (as expected). There's a nice grassy, earthy, piney, and citrusy. Has it all going on for a solid smelling IPA.

Taste is good. Again with a solid malt backbone, initial sweetness followed by the hop bitterness. Not really sure on the hop combination here, but whatever it is, it meshes together very well. Very well balanced flavor. I'd describe it as a nice toasted caramel malt flavor followed by some nice citrus and pine.

Mouthfeel is very good. Well balanced, and smooth, medium body. A slight resiny feel to it. Starts sweet with a clean, dry and bitter finish. The carbonation level is perfect too. Extremely drinkable , slow sipper or one that could be enjoyed quicker if you prefer. All in all a very good IPA, Surly knows what they are doing.

look: 4.25 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.75 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.5

Been wanting to try this for a very long time.

A - Hazy amber color. Huge, four finger head that is porous and lacy, very delicate. Amazing sticking down to the last sip.

S - Malt wave hits: burnt caramel, peat, vegetal mustiness. A lot of floral, herby hops coming through with mint and rose water-ish notes. Big hit of verjus/grape must.

T - Great example of an American IPA. This is so distinctive that it could be deemed a Mid-Western IPA. Slightly sweet on the palate. Mint jam, clover honey, honeysuckle. Almost a berry-like tang.

M - Mouth-coating without the heavy feel. Medium body with a good hit of booze

This is so good I want it all the time. Might have to move to MN! Especially when they build the Surly biergarden

look: 5 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5

A: Brilliant chrimson red to marroon in color. Hazy apperance but light blurs through. Tan head that recesses fast but clings to the side of the glass for dear life.

S: Thick pine, melon and strawberry like hop aromas pop off the canvis. A hint of smokey carmel that complicates the perception of the malt aroma.

T: Toffee, bread crust and cracker malt profile that is very complex and complimentary to the dank piney bitterness that hits you first. The bitterness feels like it would start fatigueing the palet after a while, but it never does.

M: Resienous with a above average body and moderate carbonation. Crisp and refreshing.

O: There are so many IPAs out there and that fall in with the crowd this one dared to be different and BAM did it exceed. Blood red briliant color with a great aroma and amazing taste.. you can't ask for much more then that.

Finally getting to try this!!

Pours out a deep amber/copper color with 3 fingers of off-white head.

The aroma is packed with citrus, pine and earthy hop notes. There is a decent malt backbone here with bready, caramel and toffee notes too.

The taste is also hop forward, but very balanced. There are strong amounts of orange, some tangerine and pine hop notes. There is a slight floral character to it as well. This flows into the big malt backbone with tons of caramel, toffee and biscuit notes.

The body is medium and the mouthfeel is crisp. Very easy to drink.

A solid IPA, but nothing that will blow you away. Very easy to drink because of the balance between bitter and sweet. Very enjoyable.

I had a Surly Abrasive Ale preceding this one, and this still knocked my socks off - What a beer.

A - Pours a hazy, almost crimson amber with a beautiful chunky head.

S - Sweet malty scent, light hops and great caramel notes.

T - Great balance of Scottish malts and hops, caramel comes through, almost a burnt toffee. Something smokey almost.

M - Medium body, great smoothness.

O - So drinkable, I wanted another before I finished my first. This would definitely be a daily drinker if I could get it that easily.

4.26/5  rDev -2.5%
look: 3.75 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4

Poured from a 16oz can into a snifter

A: Pours a hazy orange-copper color with a light tan head that slowly fades, leaving mild lacing.

S: The aroma consists of orange peel and mango, along with some dry grass and a touch of bready caramel.

T: A mild but bitter pine flavor defines the attack, along with touch of mango. Definitely some tropical fruits but not sweet at all, as some citrusy IPAs can be. The bready flavor combines with earthy, herbal pine to create a potent, lingering taste. Alcohol flavor develops a bit near the finish and complements the bitterness.

M: Medium carbonation with sharp bubbles. Medium thickness and slightly oily. Slightly creamy, too, which makes it feel more full bodied.

O: A surprisingly balanced and drinkable beer given how potent it is. I like an IPA with a good malt backbone, not just a hop bomb, and Furious delivers on that. Hops have a very earthy character, with the fruit flavors subdued. Its a little different than many IPAs in a good way.

Surly Brewing Company - Furious

Look - Pours a smooth clear dark amber, almost a tinge of red. Good foamy head. Moderate carbonation. Good amount of lacing.

Smell - Deep malts with surly signature hops on top (I say signature because they seem to like to use the same ones in most of their main brews). Mouth-watering hints of caramel.

Taste - Snappy smooth malts with a gentle introduction to the bitter hops.

Mouthfeel - Smooth and at the same time bitter and badass. Quite drinkable.

Overall - Damn Surly, another good one.

My cousin hooked me up with two 16oz cans of this beer on my last visit to the midwest. I already drank one of them and wasn't overly impressed, but I'll now take a go at a full review. I pour this into a standard pint glass.

Half inch, off white loosely packed head. Copper in color. Good lacing.

Hop forward dank aroma of citrus and pine. Nothing out of the ordinary here, but pleasant on the nose nonetheless.

The taste is much more balanced than my nose predicted. Caramel and biscuits fit the malt profile, while citrus and pine come through on the hop side.

Creamy, clean and medium bodied mouthfeel. The strongest attribute in this beer, making this one very easy to drink.

Overall a solid IPA, and one of the better IPAs east of the Mississippi in my book. To me though, there are so many better west coast IPAs I'd go to before this one.

4.44/5  rDev +1.6%
look: 4.25 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5

Poured into a Victory Hop Devil Nonic Pint.

Appearance: Medium sized , off white...borderline tan head. Deep murky hop haze with some carb bubbles streaming up the sides of the glass. Hues of mahogany, orange, and amber.

Smell: Big aromatic floral IPA...and grassy. Light fruit hop notes of orange peel and lemon. Mild spice from the hops and a touch of caramel sweetness from the malts.

Taste/Feel: The floral aspect is very predominant in the flavor. A bit of green tea like earthiness both in the flavor and the dry finish makes me think I'm drinking tea. Sweet toffee malt flavor sticks around on the tongue. Some breadiness, caramel notes, pine, citrus peel/zest (lemon/oranges), and rye spice.

Overall: This beer is totally an East Coast IPA from the Mid-west. Although with the varieties of hoppy beers coming from anywhere nowadays it doesn't seem to matter all that much for the classification. I find this IPA to really integrate hops and malts well. Normally a too malty IPA over takes the hops and steals the show in a bad way...I don't enjoy that style of IPA. Here it is done in harmony...with a great floral, hop spice, and citrus peel aroma/flavor riding right along with the malts. This drinks so well and I could have multiple pints without even realizing it. Surly does hops right!

Huge shoutout to maximum12 for throwing me some of these. He is an amazing trader - absolutely crushed me with extras. Ever since I fell head over heels in love with Abrasive, I couldn't wait to get my hands on this stuff. It pours a brown-tinted copper color, deep and rustic; light ruby hints blanket the edges. The eggshell-colored cap is cloudy and puffy, showing insane retention and leaving some fat, chunky lacing behind.

The best way for me to accurately describe the aroma would be "fresh hops". It doesn't sound like much, but the pureness and unabashed raw power radiating from this brew is simply excellent. It doesn't have as large of a citric quality as Abrasive (and I don't believe it is supposed to), but it makes up for that with some of the freshest hop aromas in the neighborhood. Leaves, grass, and florals, along with a very mild pepper spice. Simply bursting with raw hoppy goodness.

Though the fruity aspect may not be as big as Abrasive, that would be like saying Tiger Woods isn't as good of a golfer as Arnold Palmer. Furious still has a large citrus presence in the background of the aroma - zesty grapefruit peels and juicy citrus quadrants. There's a mild, oily pungency that hits hard in the final moments of the aroma's time inside your nostrils. Furious smells damn good; I imagine it's largely on par with sticking your face into a bucket full of fresh hops and citrus peels. Doesn't get much better.

The flavor profile is build upon a blanket of lightly toasted caramel and toffee flavored malts. It's evident from the appearance of Surly that caramel malts may have been used and the first sip easily confirms that. The malty body couples nicely with the heavy, earthy hop foundation. Peppery, herbal, ashy, and leafy, the hops carry over the same tone of freshness that they had in the aroma onto the palate. The earthy qualities may be a little more pronounced, but it still screams "hops!"

Grapefruit rinds and tangerines peels outline the s edges, providing a slight balance to the hop flavors and the faint sweetness from the malts. Bitterness is pretty relevant throughout the entirety of the glass (or can, I should say), although it's low enough to gulp Furious without hurting your mouth - this stuff goes down way too easy. I couldn't believe when I found out this stuff is 99 IBUs; doesn't taste like it at all. A very nice collaboration of bread, caramel, peppery hops, and grass leaves your palate satisfied after every sip. Medium bodied, crisp from high carbonation, just on the edge of being sticky and coating.

Well, there you have it. This stuff is amazing. So easy to drink and so damn delicious. Reasonably priced for a 4-pack of 16 oz. cans, too. Why in the hell doesn't this stuff leave Minnesota? If I could go to the store and buy this myself, it would easily be a staple in my fridge. Or my life.

Poured into a tulip, it has a nice amber hue and a slight white head. Looks very slick in the glass, good lacing.

Smell is very evident, but not "punch in the face" overwhelming. Lots of pine and then some citrus. The slightest bit of sweetness seems to linger. A nice smelling IPA and a little more nuanced than a lot of the citrus bombs i'm used to.

Taste is in line with smell (i.e. nice pine and citrus notes). Considering the alleged IBU's (99) there is very little bitterness in the finish. Decent sense of hops, but never overwhelming. A nice malt backbone is there throughout and keeps a nice sense of balance.

Mouthfeel is pretty slick, but very easy to drink. Maybe just the slightest bit undercarbonated for my taste.

Overall this is a solid IPA. I don't really enjoy a great many IPA's that aren't more or less citrus bombs, but this is an exception. Still, while it is a nice IPA, i'm a little surprised at how highly this is evidently thought of (given its current ranking on this website). Ranking aside, if you have the opportunity, give this one a try. Just don't go into it expecting a hop bomb or some type of life-altering beer experience.

Great beer. Wonderful nose, fantastic flavor. I don't worry to much on the mouth feel when it comes to an IPA. But overall one of the better IPA's out there.

12oz pour on draft at Keegan's in downtown Mnpls today 3/30/2013.

Aroma: lots of grapefruit, pine and even some grassiness. But mostly grapefruit. Comes off very pungent and strong, makes for a nice sensory appetizer before I actually quaff it. (4)

Color: a very nice, clear bodied beer with a copper, orange colour. Poured with less than 1cm white head that goes away quickly. Really thick, sticky lacing making for a nice visual appearance as I drink it down. (4)

Flavour: Awesome. I get all sorts of hop flavours- primarily grapefruit but also a little bit of piney sap to go along with a bready sweetness hinting of honey and caramel. Really nice hopblast throughout. (5)

Mouthfeel: precisely medium bodied with great carbonation that comes with a strong bitter aftertaste. It's pungent in the mouth- really resinous and coats my tongue. Overall, really nice mouthfeel for a standard IPA. Not very dry tasting at all. (4)

Overall: A great IPA offering by Surly, which is a brewery that already impresses me after having just the Bender and Furious. Looking forward to quaffing the Abrasive that I'm bringing home! (4)

Furious pours a golden cooper color, with a nice lacing white head. There was a floral aroma. The taste was very hoppy for just an IPA, lots of floral notes and a strong bitterness. Very drinkable, and doesn't have the dryness like other IPAS. Overall a very nice strong IPA, very bold flavors.

Another gift from my friend Ethan! Bottled on 1/2/13, so not eminently fresh but not geriatric either. Poured from a tall boy glass into my 7venth Sun tulip.

A - Pours an amber-orange, with two fingers of dirty white head. The foam is really tightly packed & looks like you could make a snowman out of it. Still lots of lively carbonation. Really great parallel circles of lacing as I drink.

S - Still a good amount of hops left on the nose. Fruity & citrusy, with a bit of green floral aromas as well. Not bitingly hoppy, but reined in by some caramel malts. I can only imagine what this would be like fresh.

T - Very interesting fruit profile & I can't exactly put my finger on exactly what is going on before a flood of bready malts take over. Additional sipping confirms that it is more of a sweet tropical fruit, think pineapple upside down cake. A good amount of bitterness that is really tasty without being overpowering.

M - A fuller mouthfeel than I was anticipating & definitely fuller than your typical IPA. This feature makes sense with the malt presence of the taste. Abundant carbonation.

O - Even at almost 3 months old, this is a really good IPA. I definitely want to get my hands on some fresh cans now to compare.
