I didn't get that from Horizon, maybe I need to try it again. If it really is Furious jr., that would be a nice cost-effective subsitiution on occasion.
Here is my review from BA:
12oz bottle poured in a cylindrical Hobgoblin pint glass.
A- Nice deep red with one finger of head. Clings nicely to glass.
S- Hoppy, citrusy aroma up front, with a bit of molasses in the background.
T- Like the smell, this has plenty of Hops and grapefuit up front, and finishes with light malt. However, there is a metallic aspect to this that I find unpleasant. Seems a bit unbalanced for an amber ale. IMO should be a bit more in the malt deparment.
M- A bit thin, and a bit too bitter for this style. I'd prefer less carbonation but it's certainly not excessive.
D- This is certainly a fine sessionable beer, but I was hoping for something more. I'd like to try this on tap too see how it compares to the bottled version. Summit seems to have "good" beer down pat, but I'd like to see them release a couple of "great" beers.
