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.

On tap. Clear, light amber color, significantly bubbly. Artificial corn flake malts and a distracting amount of carbonation. Texas is just not the place for beer, especially since Bitter End closed.

Pours a slightly dark amber with a wee bit of head. Nose is of delicious malt. The crescendo/decrescendo of this beer is one of the best. It finishes at the exact moment that it should. If I were locked up in a bunker with an endless cold supply of this, I would die a happy man. One of my domestic favorites.

A very thin pour, no head. No overpowering aroma. Tastes of toasy biscuits....drinkable and extremely mild hoppiness.

Pours a medium amber, some off-white foam. A bit of malt, nuttiness, faint hops. Not a bad amber beer but there are better ones. I don’t like this as much as I used to since I found Great Lakes Elliot Ness.
