Fat Tire Amber Ale
Review adapted from notes taken 8/27/10 Appearance: Clear with a bright amber color and a white head that quickly turns to thin white lacing Smell: Light, sweet biscuits, subtle floral hops, an overall scent of sweetness Taste: Mostly tastes like sweet, dry biscuits - some caramel malts, doesn't exactly taste like a typical amber as it is a bit lighter - some spicy flavors and there are some hops, but mostly the taste is dominated by the sweet malts - not complicated, and great for what it is Mouthfeel: Light to medium body with nice carbonation, feels like it could be a bit smoother Overall: Probably not worth the hype, but it is noteworthy because of its absurd level of drinkability Maybe this beer gets a lot of hate because the hype might imply that it is more complicated than it is. It's a simple yet well-balanced amber. It's an easy drinking beer that I honestly wish I could keep in my fridge year-round.
