"This New Belgium Fat Tire Amber Ale is alright. It's not as good as the Haywire Hefeweizen."

Prior to having a New Belgium Fat Tire Amber Ale I had a New Belgium Hoptober Golden Ale.

I wrote: "Compared to the Hoptober, the Fat Tire has less of a smell, less of a piney taste, and less of a taste in general. Overall, it has a lighter taste than the Hoptober. It's possible that the Hoptober diminished the taste of the Fat Tire. I think I'd prefer drinking the hoppier Hoptober over the lighter Fat Tire." 10:48 PM

*None of my pictures turned out. Luckily, I gave my friend a bottle of New Belgium Fat Tire Amber Ale before I left back to MD. My thanks to him for taking the above picture for me.

After having a bottle of Rogue Dead Guy Ale, I opened up a bottle of New Belgium Fat Tire Amber Ale.


I wrote: "New Belgium Fat Tire Amber Ale. This beer is more carbonated than the Rogue Dead Guy and I guess it tastes more like an average tasting beer."

Website Information:
Named in honor of our co-founder's bike trip through Europe, Fat Tire Amber Ale marks a turning point in the young electrical engineer's home brewing. Belgian beers use a far broader palette of ingredients (fruits, spices, esoteric yeast strains) than German or English styles. Together with co-founder, Kim Jordan, they traveled around sampling their homebrews to the public. Fat Tire won fans with its sense of balance: toasty, biscuit-like malt flavors coasting in equilibrium with hoppy freshness.
