Aug 23, 2008 Pours deep golden red, with a sweet ,sherry aroma. Offers just a hint of Abbey Ale taste and has a full balanced mouthfeel. Detected a hint of apple? Deep fermented fruit with a nice malty finish. My bottle said it was Steinhaus in Ulm MN, but the brewery appears to be located in California. This was a Trader Joe’s find.

May 6, 2006 Shiny gold, thick lasting foamy head. Fresh nose of floral hops, bread dough, and soft earthy caramel. Very well balanced with floral and grassy hops that are tightly layered over a sweet malt base. Medium to full bodied, soft smooth carbonation, mellowed hoppy finish. Maybe because this was a fresh bottle, but I thought this was very well done. Underrated in my opinion...

Sep 5, 2002 Updated: Jan 24, 2007Latest update 1/24/07. Our local Trader Joes has been out of this for several weeks now; I’m starting to worry. I drank my last bottle a few days ago and I have to reiterate my respect for this brew. It’s an amazingly good buy and has quickly become one of my "staple" beers.
ORIGINAL RATING: I picked up a ’six’ of this on a whim at Trader Joe’s. I wasn’t expecting much for the price, but was pleasantly surprised when I took my first taste--this stuff ain’t bad! It’s fairly ’malty’ with not a lot of hoppiness, but even for people who prefer brews on the bitter side of the spectrum (like me), Fat Weasel Ale tastes pretty darned good. I’ll be a repeat customer for sure...SECOND SAMPLE: Grabbed another six while visiting in-laws in the Chicago area. I’m going to revise my ratings upward slightly because this batch tastes even better than the first ones I tried. My beer-drinking buddy next door was positively amazed at how good this stuff is after I handed him a bottle over the backyard fence...amazing beer for the $$$

Mar 20, 2001 Good beer, nice malt nose and citrus after taste. Hops are noticeable, clean fresh and flavorful. Try it you’ll like it.

Dec 27, 2004 Nice beer. Nothing special, but it has a fairly good flavor. For the price (under 5 bucks at Trader Joe’s) you can hardly go wrong. Enjoyable.

May 5, 2003 Weak head with a weak lacing. Nice golden yellow color and a nice level of carbonation. Nice touch of crisp bite to the flavor that serves as a good quencher. Aftertaste is a back of the throat touch of hops. A pretty good, drinkable brew!

Aug 4, 2006 Found this one bottled in Batavia, Illinois. Bright, medium and bubbly gold pour with a thick, white head. Flowery nose with some baked bread and a little chocolate. Balanced between rosy hops and light malts. Good!

Oct 4, 2002 Medium gold color, large head. Medium bodied ale. A malty and hoppy ale, malts slightly sweet. Fairly aggressively hopped. Nice balance. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is smooth and clean. Aftertaste is a little bitter. Taste is a trifle thin, but still a nice beer.
