Commercial Description:
A creamy, flavorful Amber that's smooth and easy to drink. Drop Top is fermented by an American Ale yeast to produce beer with a clean flavor and fruity aroma. The velvet texture is from the use of Honey malt and a touch of milk sugar. The Magnum bittering hops provide soft bitterness, while Simcoe, a newly developed hop variety, adds unique hop flavor and aroma.

On-tap at Typhoon Saloon in PB. Pours a vibrant amber color with a crisp white head that leaves just spots of lace. I don’t smell anything. Tastes light and caramelly malty sweet, lingering sugar flavors. Medium, weak body, coats the mouth a bit, subdued carbonation

Two words: Fat Tire. Great bottle and label - the dog totally captures my stupid mutt when he’s in the car - clear medium amber. Sweet malty aroma. Pretty drinkable, fruity, doughy/starchy mouthfeel.

355 ml bottle. Clear amber body with a nice, creamy off-white head. Aroma is floral, fruity with notes of caramel. Flavor is fruity, sweet, bitter, caramel. Medium body and balanced sweetness. Bittersweet finish. Total impression is quite nice, not totally in balance but very easy to drink.

This one had a super-light pine flavor to complement the maltiness. The palate was very controlled, but not so much as to limit the flavor. I think they improved this beer recently.

Wonderful flavor that leans towards the malt side but has an almost subtle hop presence.

Pours an amber color, nice looking beer. Mostly white head, decent size. Aroma is pretty nice with malts, hops, spice and maybe some sweet smelling notes. Flavor is malty but lacks some body and character. Not the worst, not even close to a top tier amber either.
