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.

Oats and nuts come through on the nose and taste thanks to the malt flavors. Not much in the way of hoppiness though nor much of an aroma.

(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!

Very outstanding. Beautiful amber color with a nice carmel taste with hints of chocolate. Incredible aroma that makes this beer a definite must try.

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.
