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.

On tap at bier thirty. Pours out a copper color topped with a small head. The nose is ppine and citrus hops along with some caramel sweetness. Taste is as the nose. This one is pretty refreshing and a easy drinker.

Bottle Clear amber with a full dense head. Malty aroma and flavors. Some hop flavor but not the crisp bright kind that a great american pale should be

Bottle from Whole Foods in Davis, CA. Pours light copper with an off-white head. Aroma is citrus/earthy over a pleasant hint of caramel. Med body or so. Flavor is mildly spicy, more citrus, and I have no idea where I got earth in the aroma. The malt tastes mildly roasty, so this is rather spot on for style. Nice level of flavors, and it’s finishing nicely bitter.

My wife bought herself a six pack of this - I stole about 1/3 of a bottle, which is enough for me - copper pour - moderate soapy lace - nose is kind of husky and extract-y, with some burnt peanut skin and earthy Amarillo hoppiness - flavor is much the same - grain husks - the hop profile has a nice freshness to it, though - earthy and mildly citric - the malt profile though, just so simple, a little dirty - pass.

This was poured into a pint glass.
The date on the side of the bottle says \"Enjoy by 21Dec14.\"
The appearance was a clear yet muddy brown color with a light orange complexion close to the sides of the glass. There was about a one finger white bubbly/and somewhat foamy rocky/lumpy head that dissipated within about a minute. The lacing was light and sporadic (slightly all over the place).
The smell was lightly spiced with a light floral content interweaving inside of some earthy cereal-ness with a light caramel toast. Interesting to say the least.
The taste was mainly earthy and sweet, the light floral content does come back to coat my taste buds. There’s a peanut butter aftertaste (I normally get from most New Belgium beers) and there’s a dry finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium with a decent sessionability about it. The carbonation was good for the style and it has a decent sharpness trying to pound my tongue.
Overall, good APA for the most part, but nothing really to go out of my way for.

Solid session pale ale. Lots of dough and bread, some caramel, and moderate hops for balance. Copper color. Dry finish with lingering bitterness.
