Fulton Hop Kingdom Hazy IPA.
6.5 % ABV, 28 IBU, Fulton Beer, Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Fulton has a new umbrella, where it keeps all of its IPAs that aren’t Sweet Child of Vine. It’s called Hop Kingdom, and all feature labels with illustrations of forest animals transformed into some kind of hop beast, drawn by the great Brent Schoonover. One of them was reviewed here in 2016 when it was just called 300. This one replaces their last hazy, Moon Howler, also reviewed here. And , yes, I’m breaking my ban on hazies, just this once.
Moderately hazed, semi-bright golden hue, slim white head.
In the nose: bright citrus, grapefruit and tangerine. Orange peel.
In the mouth: soft on the palate, but still packing a degree of bitterness. Bursting with hop flavors, more citrus notes, with a touch of tropical. Medium bodied. Long hoppy finish.
Hey, here’s a hazy I don’t hate.
A wolf in wolf’s clothing, this alpha IPA leads the pack. Uncaged, untamed and unfiltered, the wild is calling.
