Tasting: New Belgium Brewing Fat Tire Amber Ale

Fat Tire Amber Ale is brewed by New Belgium Brewing of Fort Collins, Co.

The Pour
Fat Tire is New Belgium's signature amber ale inspired by the Jeff Lebesch's bicycle tour of Belgium. The beer produces and eager head and if you have a steady hand, you can make is stand well above the rim of your glass. The color is the slightly rusty golden color of ... amber. (what?)

The Taste
I'll admit up front that Fat Tire is one of my favorite beers for hanging out with a brew. Plus they sell it in cases at Costco.

What I like about Fat Tire is the clean smooth flavor with just a bit of hoppiness. All in all a really good beer that goes well with a variety of foods and hockey.

Thoughts
Yummy. Sip ... sip ... yum. Uh oh. I'm out of beer. But, thanks to Costco, I have another chilling in the 'fridge. Now, where did I put that bottle opener?

Beer me!
