Raging Furious
Raging Furious is the imperial version of Surly's flagship IPA, 11.0% ABV. Doubling up on hops and malt sweetness, it amplifies the citrus character and caramel backbone of the original and, per the brewery, reaches barleywine-like complexity. Reddish amber, built on Warrior, Ahtanum, Simcoe, Cascade and Amarillo over 2-row, Golden Promise, aromatic and medium crystal malt.
