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. This is about as middle of the road as you can get. Nothing special but not bad at the same time. As average as average gets re-rate: On tap it is a bit better, the caramel malts and hops both come out a bit more.

a subtle hoppyness saves this beer. pours to the orange side of amber. quick white head dissappears abruptly. not bad, not wow, just so so. on the otherhand, it is versatile and takes a back seat to other flavors, which probably accounts for it’s poplularity. For me, its my least favorite release from this brewer.

Aromas of lighlty toasted malts, vegetable and grass. Flavor dominated by burnt toast malts, carmel candy sweetness, and floral hops. Palate is smooth by not stimulating

Pours amber reddish with a thick white head. Solid, well rounded mouthfeel. Nicely balanced amber beer. Pretty good and a new everyday favorite.

Slightly hazy amber with a lasting white head. Aroma has tangerine and peach and a hint of malt. Dry, fruity and caramel flavour, with a little husk-like astringency. Too carbonated to be pleasant.

Bottle. Poured a clear amber color with a small tan head. Aroma of spices and caramel. Flavor was nutty with caramel and a slight hop note. Medium body with good carbonation.
