Goose Island Fulton Street Blend Coffee Ale

Fulton Street Blend is one of those beers where the appearance is deceiving, like a black IPA, that you expect to be stout-y, I've always expected any beer with coffee in it to be a porter or a stout, i.e. DARK! They're calling it a coffee-flavored blonde ale, and it's only 20 IBUs, but it's got a bite like you'd expect from a pale ale. Naturally there's coffee in the flavor mix, but subdued, shyly hiding behind the skirts of the hops. I'd drink this again. Added flavoring, but melds well with the underlying beeriness.
