Goose Island Fulton Street Blend

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 6

Pours clear topaz with a thick, though not long-lasting, eggshell head. Aroma features fresh malt, sweet fruit, and - yes, coffee. Flavor delivers more coffee, good if not gourmet, plus fresh malt and zesty fruit. Texture presents fair body and fizz. One beer that will perk you up.

Not paying attention to the label, I didn’t know there was coffee in this one. Any coffee there is is faint.It is mostly malt. A deep copper colored beer with a moderate, three fingered soapy lighte beig-white head rising above. There’s decent hang time on the head. It settles into a thin ringlet. A second look at the nose in a second and warmer beer and the coffee comes out in the nose. The tasting is still a dominate malt, though again, as it warms some coffee notes seep through. It is amazingly full bodied and smooth.
