One of my readers requested this beer review a while ago. I've come to realize just why he wanted this beer reviewed as well. Today's review is Fat Tire Amber Ale, which is made by the New Belgium Brewing Company out of Fort Collins, Colorado. This recipe was inspired by a bicycle trip through Europe from brewery to brewery.
The color of this beer is really inviting. It leaves a little to be desired on the head, but the color is a deep golden orange and the smell is of honey biscuits, malt, and hops, although the hops do not overpower this at all. The body is light to medium and the drinkability is very high on this one. It has a very balanced flavor as well.
The flavor was very malty and biscuity with some sweetness balanced by the hop flavors which gave it a great finish. If it were not for the somewhat lack of a head on this beer, it would score perfect for me. It tastes fresh, it is refreshing, and very pleasurable to drink with a perfect balance of malts and hops. This beer is very well done! I give it a 9 out of 10.
Thanks for reading and watching, and keep suggesting beers for me to review- I've been enjoying quite a few of your requests. Keep drinking good beer!
