Label Reads: "Fat Tire Amber Ale’s appeal is in its feat of balance: toasty, biscuit-like malt flavors coasting in equilibrium with hoppy freshness. Named in honor of Jeff’s mountain bike trip from brewery through Europe.
Fat Tire is still crafted following the original home brew recipe that Jeff brainstormed on this cycling trip"

Best for: Telling banal stories about cycling through some dumbass European countryside. BIG DEAL! One time I got the high score on Batman pinball. Fucker.

Handwritten notes: Despite my obvious disdain for self-romanticized stories, this beer is actually quite good. It is a unique sort of Amber, looking quite like an ordinary beer, but dabbling in witchcraft in its dizzying use of different underlying flavours. Is that cloves I taste? Or was it licorice? Who knows. The main body is a sour/bitter taste much like other ambers. What makes this beer stand apart are the very subtle flavours that you have to chase after.
