Fat Tire's unique flavor profile originates from 1930s Belgium. During this era, small breweries began offering easy-drinking beer crafted with signature Belgian yeast in order to satisfy the tastes of visiting British soldiers. Today, Fat Tire blends a subtle malt presence with a slightly fruity hop profile and crisp finish, to create a bright and balanced beer that drinks easy, anywhere.

On tap at New Belgium - Denver Airport, pours a clear pale golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma is somewhat estery, with soft candi sugar, biscuity malt and gentle Belgian yeast esters. Flavour is dry, with soft Belgian yeast expression, low residual sweetness, and some gentle bready/doughy notes. Very clean and reliable. The fact that this is so ubiquitous is a testing to marketing though, as this is very ordinary.

Hazy and pale. Thin head. Aroma is a touch plasticy, light esters, too. Light body -but on the empty side, drinking water filtered through barley husks there isn'�t shit left. A bold call transforming a brand that size, but for the beer it smells better. On the palate whatever.

Can. Deep gold with a fast fading white head. Sweet doughy aroma with some apricot and hints of spices. So it tastes. Sweet but kind of empty with very modest bitterness. I don’t understand.

Yeast, lemon, biscuit malt, and straw aroma. Golden yellow with large off-white head. Orange, apple, biscuit malt, and very mildly bitter straw flavor. Okay body. Decent but not sure why they felt the need to replace the original - should have just made Fat Tire Blonde .

Pour is a clear bronze with a large white head. Aroma is a slight toasted malt. Flavor is more of a toasted malt and a large bitterness on the back end. It's been a long time since I've had a OG Fat Tire but I remember it being more of a heavier amber ale. This is more like a golden ale. It's ok but forgettable.
