What do Minnesotans love to do more than anything? Yep, you guessed it- talk about the weather. In a state with 2 seasons (Summer and Winter), when those warmer days finally do arrive it's our duty as MN residents to find a patio, a deck, pool, boat or sun-filled corner to enjoy. In our eyes, enjoyment is amplified when enjoying a seasonally-appropriate adult beverage. And speaking of such, we've brewed up the perfect summer ale for all those enjoyable, sunny moments. Inspired by a fictional summer weather phenomenom, we've created our version of a dry, sessionable ale with plenty of Blood Orange for all those fruit enthusiasts out there. In fact, we crammed 20lbs of Blood Orange purée per barrel. Fleeting, like summer, this solstice-approved 4pk of tallboys is available for just a flash.

Poured from a 16 oz. can into a pub glass.
Pours a faintly-hazed light gold with big bubbles in the body, but not that much head or retention. Decent lacing.
Orange aromas are very forward, but somewhat artificial. Almost orange-soda-like in many ways.
The brew hits the front of the palate with plenty of orange sweetness, balanced with zesty grains in midstream, with some floral notes. The brew delivery just a hint of balance and bitterness at the finish, mostly grassy and floral with a hint of earthy hops. Very flavorful, but like the aroma, a bit artificial.
The brew is eminently drinkable. Medium-light with excellent carbonation and a nice finish. This would be a good warm-weather brew. Very refreshing.
Fulton always delivers a very drinkable repeatable brew, and this is no exception. However, the aromas and flavors are somewhat artificial.

The aroma has a little blood orange, some orange peel, citrus and light biscuit. It pours hazy gold with a light orange tint under a 1/2" white cap with fair to poor retention. The flavors are malt, blood orange and hops. the bitterness is medium to medium plus and has a citrus rind character. It has a drying finish. The body and carbonation are medium. This is a full flavored beer that is repeatable.

16oz tallboy can, media sample from the brewery.
Pours a lightly cloudy pale straw golden hued brew, lacing dissipates a little. Big zesty blood orange character throughout, pleasing and not bitter. Juicy on top of a dry-ish beer. Light bodied with no real trace of alcohol except in quick kiss in the finish. Enjoyable, a summer beer you'll want more of on a hot day.
