Possibly the lamest marketing gimimick I’ve encountered yet in the beer world. Reddish orange collor, no head. Light malty aroma. Watery mouthfeel. Simple crystal malt flavor. Prety basic, but seemed to be the best choice for me when I was at Garfinkle’s in Vail.

Just a watered down version of New Belgium’s. Nothing too exciting, just a well balanced, medium bodied beer.

No joke, it’s really called Phlatt Tyre!! New Belgium unavailable for comment. Crystal-amber appearance. Thick malt profile. Crisp peach aroma and peach/nectarine also prominent in the flavor. I liked this better than the real Fat Tire. The hops could have been a bit more assertive though.
