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.

Pours from 12 oz bottle crystal clear, orangey copper with a wispy head that forms a bit of a ring. Caramel aroma that is pretty weak with some hops and orange notes. Flavor was rather non-descript with some toasty bread and caramel malts and a dose of floral hops... nothing exciting, and only moderately enjoyable. Another one of those semi boring amber beers.

Pours a medium amber, some off-white foam. A bit of malt, nuttiness, faint hops. Not a bad amber beer but there are better ones. I don’t like this as much as I used to since I found Great Lakes Elliot Ness.

Nothing special here. Nothing offensive. A very plain beer. Balanced. Biscuity, lightly hoppy and smooth. I don’t hate on it. I just don’t understand the hype.

A golden ale with a thick frothy off white head. Aroma of freshly mashed malt, biscuitty. In mouth, a crisp malt with nutty notes, light burned bitterness, lightly oily in mouth. Medium bodied. August 2007.

A very common beer to find here in Hot Springs, Arkansas at a gas station. I will usually pick this up if my favorite store, The Wine Rack and Spirits Shoppe, is closed. It is a life saver sometimes. Overall, the aroma is alright; appearance is not that great but better than a lot of other domestic beers here in America; and the flavor is not too bad. I mainly like it due to the fact it is easy to obtain.

Readily available and not that bad. Nice biscuit malt flavor light on the hops. Solid beer.
