Commercial Description:
Like the ageless delight of pedaling a bicycle, Fat Tire Amber Ale's appeal is in its feat of balance: Toasty malt flavors (sorta like biscuits just pulled from the oven coasting in equilibrium with crisp hoppiness.

pours a light amber with a good off white head. Biscuity aroma, underlying ripe fruit hop. Flavour was sweet caramel and toasty malt. Growing bitterness in finish. Smooth and well balanced.

Bottle. Picked this up in a mixed six pack – haven’t had it since circa 1999 or y2k. Pours a clear amber with 3 finger off white head. Nose is roasted nuts, yeast and malt. Taste is sweet malt, dirt and some hop in the finish. Light mouth feel. Meh, I think I still have the free bottle opener when this first came out.

Light Amber Color with a nice head. Aroma has citrus with the subtle hint of floral spice and caramel. The caramel leaves a sweet flavor that works well with the citrus and spices.

22 ounce bottle. Pours a clear copper color with a large, clingy, off-white head that lasts. The aroma is of toasted malts and hops. The taste is of caramel, malts and hops. Leaves me wanting more after each sip. Is a very good beer, as it is easy to drink, tastes great, is moderately priced and is great for various occasions.
