Brewery : New Belgium Brewing

Country : USA

ABV/VOL/ALC : 5.2%
Note from brewery :
Named in honor of our co-founder’s bike trip through Europe, FAT TIRE AMBER ALE marks a turning point in the young electrical engineer’s home brewing. Belgian beers use a far broader palette of ingredients (fruits, spices, esoteric yeast strains) than German or English styles. Together with co-founder Kim Jordan, they traveled around sampling their homebrews to the public. Fat Tire won fans with its sense of balance: toasty, biscuit-like malt flavors coasting in equilibrium with hoppy freshness. Fat Tire: Pairs well with people.
Note from the taster :
I got this on my birthday after many hours of hard riding, it tasted great with my bbq’ed sausage on a stick :)
Label :
Nice painting with hobs and a bicycle which is a win on any label. But still way too much “legal” stuff and barcode right next to it which distracts from the painting.
