Fulton The Ringer American Pale Ale
Fulton The Ringer American Pale Ale. Brewed and packaged by Fulton Brewery, Minneapolis, MN.
Shameful admission: I wasn't aware that beer was in bottles. It was draft only for a few years, at least. Now, at last, I will formulate my thoughts on the pale ale, the second Fulton beer whose name is a reference to "The Big Lebowski." (After The Worthy Adversary, of course.)
Appearance: Hazy, bright orange, slim white head.
Aroma: Classic American pale ale aroma, probably Cascade hops, or one of the usual suspects. high alpha acid, piercing pine, sharp citrus. Pretty near perfect.
Taste: Ah! Yes! Citrus zest is first and foremost in this one, bright, bold and refreshing hop character. A burst of potent orange, lemon and grapefruit. beautifully spicy, delightfully drinkable. Medium-bodied, smooth and satisfying.
Alc. 5% by Volume. 35 IBU. "Bright hops, light body, and a clean finish: a classic American pale ale."
This one may be the Fulton beer that I hits me in all the right spots, and all the right times. Good one, guys. It's doing the trick.
