Tasting Week 8: Fat Tire

Variety: Amber Ale
Region: Ft. Collins, Colorado
Country: USA
Year: 2011
Price: $2.95
Food?: Not Paired with Food.



Brewery Review:  
Fat tire won fans with a sense of balance:  toasty, biscuit-like malt flavors coasting in equilibrium with hoppy freshness.

My Review:
Light and hoppy, this medium-bodied brew features orange-citrus notes on both the nose and palate.  In-between a light and dark beer, this Amber Ale is a perfect choice for spring and summer.  With enough body to satisfy a manly palate, this light amber beer features a fresh and bright nature that appeals to the lighter side.  I would equate this beer as a mix between a Blue Moon and a Sam Adams - not a bad combination in my book.
