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.

(bottle BB10Oct08): Pours an orangish amber body. Big foamy orangish-white head. Head has good lacing & is lasting. Very malty hoppy aroma, some grapefruit. But lots of Engish-style malts. Some malts in the taste, nuttiness. Some spiciness, maybe a little hoppiness. Some breadiness.

Classic! Beautiful biscuit malt flavors. Great mouth feel. Wonderful dark amber color. Just a classic amber ale. You see it in so many places and it never fails to impress! A classic flavor with so many good memories attached!

On tap Pours out a amber topped with a sand head. Aroma of light malts and a light hop. Tast a little hops and a nice malt. Not that bad.
