New Belgium’s love for beer, bikes and benefits is best described by being at Tour de Fat. Our love for Cascade and Amarillo hops is best tasted in our Tour de Fall Pale Ale. We’re cruising both across the country during our favorite time of year.

355 ml bottle. Pours a deep copper color with light head. Aromas of pine, limes, biscuit and toasted malts. Somewhat watery flavors of pine, grass, and resin. Long bitter finish - a bit intense for what should be an easy drinking ale

I guess its official that I don’t love cascade hops, the herbal citrus notes here similar to the ones in Fat Tire, and I just don’t want it. The amarillo saves the beer from being otherwise unpleasant for me. On the whole its a decent enough hoppy pale ale.

Pour is a clear amber with a large white head. Aroma has plenty of piney hops. Flavor is again a decent hop with some sweet caramel malts lingering in the backround. This is a well made albeit no frills pale ale.

12oz bottle pours with a crystal clear deep copper body that supports a cobwebby tan head of foam. The aroma offers up malts, crystal malts, a dash of earthy tea and wet tobacco, a bit of dank onions and then slivers of tangelo and grapefruit citrus. Nice. The taste delivers similar notes and is scratching me right where I itch. This has a pleasing mix of dank onions, garlic, earthy tea and a few wedges of tangelo citrus hop flavor notes. Beneath the flavor and slightly resiny hop bitterness murmurs some crystal malts. I am enjoying this. Lovely take on the style. I need to get more of this.

Disappointing . Kind of bland , not much hoppiness for an APA. Some caramel sweetness. Just average .

Bottle. Orange malt and pine/orange peel aroma. Amber with large white head. Sweet orange malt and moderately bitter grapefruit peel flavor. Good but standard.

12oz bottle picked up at the state store
Pours clear deep golden with a small off-white head, some lacing. Aroma is bready, floral and yeast. Flavor is grassy, yeast, bready, pine resin with a crisp, dry finish
An easy drinking APA. A lighter, hoppier Fat Tire.
