Tap, Muddy Pig. Pours a deep clear reddish color with very minimal head. Flavor is soft malts, a hint of biscuits, mildly sweet. Finish is soft aromatic floral hops and somewhat dry. Not a bad offering for a rookie breweing company, this is an easy drinking session ale along the lines of Summit EPA.

Dec 31, 2009 A bit musty with subdued pine. Vegetal, not a vibrant IPA, but an attempt at balance can be found here. Not weak, but not aggressive. On tap at Happy Gnome, St. Paul.

Oct 31, 2009 TAP @ Stub & Herb’s - Minneapolis: copper pour, off white head. Floral hops and caramel on the nose, taste is malt-balanced hop / floral with toffee. I had heard mixed reviews on this guy, but I was pleasantly surprised. Pretty good stuff.

Oct 30, 2009 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.

Oct 28, 2009 On draught at the Happy Gnome in St. Paul, MN during their Official Launch Party on October 28, 2009. Pours a clear copper amber colored brew with a thin off-white head that quickly dissipates and leaves behind some spotty lacing. Aroma is very light of caramel malt, some Simcoe and flowery hops, a touch of pear and a hint of sweet almond marzipan. Taste is medium bodied, nicely balanced carbonation with flavors of mostly caramel malt, a hint of toffee and some flowery hops in the background. Finish has a mild light bitterness that quickly disappears. This beer profile is closer to a German Vienna style beer than an American IPA as the bitterness quickly disappears and leaves behind a mostly a caramel and toffee aftertaste. It is not an in-your-face, west coast caliber citusy IPA as one of their local competitor is known for, the Fulton guys do not skimp on the full body malt character in this inauguration beer.
