Beer Review - Furthermore - Proper
Brewery: Furthermore Brewing - Black River Falls, WI
Malty ———-|— Bitter
Light —-|——— Dark
Proper is a traditional English Pale Ale with a light golden caramel color and frothy although not that thick head. I have to confess I picked this up because i thought this was one of the coolest looking labels I have ever seen. I love the art deco almost propaganda style logo for this beer, but my strange beer picking whims aside I felt it was a good representation of a pale ale. It starts out with a light malty flavor not unlike MGD (I know if the brew-master reads this he’ll probably kill me), but with a rich and earthy finish that immediately sets it apart. The strong bitterness that this beer has might turn some people away but if that’s what you like this might be your new love. For me personally without the sweet flavors of a wheat beer like 312 this is a little less balanced, but for lovers of our traditional IPAs this would be a beer to consider. So if you like stuff like Bell’s Two Hearted Ale or other generally bitter beers keep this in mind next time.
ABV: 4.5%
