Sampled on draft at Hough’s this beer poured a dark golden color with a large creamy off white head that left incredible lacing. The aroma was tart, citric and chalky. The flavor was tart, chalky and very perfumey. Long finish. Medium body. Pretty bad.

Can from Tanakaya. Drank straight from the can. Good light cracker aroma with juicy citrus and light pine on the nose. Good carbonation and well-balanced on the palate. Light cracker to biscuity malt with classic American hop flavor. Nice and refreshing bitter finish. Definitely more of a session IPA than a lager, but fine by me.

High drinkability quotient and even a little real flavor. Pours golden amber with decent head and lacing. Crisp barley finish with more hops than the average lager. Very good for a lager. Can I found in the fridge at work.

BBE 13 JUL 14 - Pours clear copper orange with a thick white head. Aroma of crisp bready malts, grassy hops, citrus and fruits. Taste is crisp, slightly bready and earthy with some grassy hoppiness and mild fruity notes. Finish is crisp, grassy and bready. Okay, moderately hoppy lager.

Can. Golden body with a frothy, white head. Aroma of toasted grain, grapefruit with a hint of floral hops. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly to moderately sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. Thin to medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. If Fat Tire were turned into a premium lager, this is what it would be.

From a can this is refreshing and lager like at first then this hop thing starts to show thru. Yes, now I see its a premium lager, fer sure. Does have some ill ale attributes at times. Slightly more than dull hop sensations continue to manifest. Not bad overall, no real bad attributes here, except perhaps for the bitter hops on the finish. Fortunately, there is a decent amount of co2 in there.
