Draft. Rich, red/brown color with a head that sits on top all the way. Good lacing. Caramel and toffee on the nose. Sweet, a perfect blend of hops and malt, a little sweet. A sticky, full flavored finish. Good stuff.

On tap. Pours a hazy coppery color with a medium tan head that dissipates fairly soon. The aroma is an attractive malt-citrus mix. There is a flavor of caramel with just a hint of roasted barley. The maltiness is not overpowering, and there is a nice balance with the hops, The brew has a nice, soft mouthfeel and smooth finish. Serve with blackened salmon.

This is a tasty, enjoyable, but mild and simple beer. It is reddish copper with a small-medium offiwhite head quickly dissipating to a wispy top with the barest hint of lace. The aroma is pleasant, bread, a little crust, caramel, yeast, hay, and a hint of fruit. The taste is lightly earthy, fruity bread crust, caramel, leafy spiciness. It’s lightly sweet with a zesty dryness in the finish but no real bitterness at all. It’s easy to drink but the character is fairly one-dimensional and there is little aftertaste.

Aroma: Banana, faint caramel malts, resiny hops. Not very complex, but interesting.
Appearance: Lovely red-rose amber. A crisp, bright, clear color. Very poor retention of a short-lived, recycled paper-colored head.
Flavor: Banana flavor comes through, plus a tangy yeast finish that reminds me of a dubbel. Mild, leafy hops and pome-like, fruity hops.
Palate: Nicely tinglesome, pleasantly carbonated and not cloying at all.
Overall: A versatile session beer that would match well with many foods. Ham and pumpkin pie come to mind.

Dark red/copper. Decent malt, caramel, and fruit in the nose. Malt forward flavor - caramel, toffee, light fruit, grain and some mild background hops. Clean, crisp finish. Solid.

Bottle. Pours a red-brown color with a large tan head that slowly fades. Aroma is malty, with hints of caramel, hops and is slightly sweet. The taste is much the same and has a dry finish. Overall, this is a pretty enjoyable brew at a fair price that is worth revisiting. Also, as with most of their beers, the label is pretty neat looking.

Beer pours a rich orange/copper color with an off white sticky head. initial flavors are fruity and tangy, with hints of citrus, in particular lemon, with s dry spicy hoppiness that blends the first flavors nicely with the buttery, toasty biscuity flavors that come second. Mouthfeel is smooth and rich, yet drinkable. overall a very delicious beer. This is what Fat Tire wishes it could be...
