Commercial Description:
Named in honor of our founder Jeff’s bike trip through Belgium, 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. Jeff found the Belgian approach freeing. Upon his return, Jeff created Fat Tire and Abbey Belgian Ale, (assuming Abbey would be his big gun). He and his wife, Kim traveled around sampling their homebrews to the public. Fat Tire’s appeal quickly became evident. People liked everything about it. Except the name. Fat Tire won fans is in its sense of balance: toasty, biscuit-like malt flavors coasting in equilibrium with hoppy freshness.

An amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet matly with light notes of caramel. The flavor is very sweet malty , leading to a slightly bitter finish.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Beautiful, clear, amber golden with a creamy, off-white head leaving some lacework. Strange malt aroma. Light and somewhat watery body with an odd, unclean malt profile - sweet and caramelish, but not really in any pleasant way. The mouthfeel is very soft. This has almost no bitterness. 200307
