New Belgium – Fat Tire Amber Ale

New Belgium – Fat Tire Amber Ale, 2017, 5.2%ABV, 355ml can.

Drank on 8/12/2017, from I.B.S.

Appearance: 2.5 – Nice, clear, amber, Nice big head on pour, nice lacing.

Smell/Aroma: 3.5 – Bready lovely wholemeal malts, all malts, no hoppy smells, no yeastyness.

Taste: 3.5 – Malty, almost rich, bready, a light good balanced bitterness. A slight sweetness initially, A slight alcohol warmth that just sits well with the malt, Nothing overbearing. There is a hop bitterness but it is light balanced and purely bittering hops, sits on the back of the tongue.

Mouthfeel/Palate: 3 – Soft, nice, not cloying or bitter. Nice carbonation.

Overall: 3.5  – This is great, its lighter on the malt than something like an Anchor or Kona Brewing beer (which I usually find are very malt forward, and excellent), but its still malt dominant and balanced and really good.
