Excellent IPA. Found this by accident at a TGI's in MSP. Very impressed. Will have to look for more Fulton beers.

I love IPA’s. I am shocked at the low ratings this beer received. Nice hoppy taste and great full flavor. The finish was nice too - not too bitter with an IBU rating of 69. I recommend this IPA. The review that wondered if the keg was old...something was wrong. I drank the IPA out of a bottle. This beer has a really nice balance with the flavor!

Served in Shaker glass. Dark amber in color with a medium head. Mild floral nose with some citrus notes. Nice malty flavors with a surprisingly mild hoppiness for an IPA. Pleasing on the palate with a smooth, not overly drying finish.
Very easy drinker by IPA standards and a fun break from intensely hopped versions.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Poured from tap into Pint glass.
Appearance: Clear dark amber with moderate off-white head and nice lacing lines.
Aroma: Nice hop aroma of pine and juicy grapefruit and citrus, countered by toasted malts.
Taste: Very well balanced for an IPA. Nice hop taste of pine and grapefruit balanced by caramel and toasted malts. Ends slightly bitter, but only slighty - more spicy than bitter.
Palate: Relatively low carbonation, medium body with very dry finish (especially considering it is only somewhat bitter).
Overall: Very well balanced and easy to drink IPA. Great flavor overall but could use a little more bitterness so I need to dock it a little. Just a touch too balanced for my IPA tastes.

On draft at the Gnome, served a little too cold. When I first got it I could barely pick out the aromas but after it warmed a little I found some nice floral hops, and sweet carmel very, well balanced. The flavor was pretty much a direct reflection of the aroma with a touch more sweetness, the finish was clean, not very bitter and had something else that reminded me of mint. The appearance is a deep amber almost mahogany. Pretty full bodied but very sessionable. Overall, a good first impression.

Pint at 3 Squares. Reddish brown color, thin head,nice lacing. Not a lot of hops in the aroma, kind of fruity. Very hoppy bite in the flavor with some pine and grapefruit notes. Nice lingering bitter finish. Some good unique flavors in this one.

Sampled at Winterfest 2012. Poured pale amber with little white soapy head that dissipates. Aroma is really nice and bright hop fruitiness and orange peel. Taste is big bright fruity hops and oranges with a malty bitter finish. Palate is medium clean and crisp.
Earlier Rating: 8/8/2011 Total Score: 2.8
On tap. Pour dark amber with a foamy sticky kahki head and leaves sticky lacing. Aroma is malt metallic and no real noticable hops. Taste is bitter hops and bready caramel malt. Palate is medium feel with a gritty chaulky finish.

UPDATED: FEB 5, 2012 Growler from brewery. Copper color with foamy white head. Fresh hop aroma. Piney/citrusy hops are up front but balanced with caramel malt. Rather creamy texture. Easy drinking. I like this one...hops are prominent but not overpowering...some may not like that in an IPA but it is right up my alley. I know this IPA doesn’t have quite the full body of others but this is one of the better IPA’s I’ve had. Helps that it’s fresh from the brewery.
