Fat Tire beer is hands down my favorite beer. It is an amber ale from the New Belgium Brewing Company.

I usually drink it out of the bottle, so I'm not entirely sure how to describe the color. I think it is a dark golden color.

It has the perfect amount of beer taste to it. I'm not a fan of those lighter beers without much beer flavor, nor am I a fan of really "beery" beers, so that is why Fat Tire is my favorite.

It has an alcohol percentage of 5% abv, so it isn't too strong and won't leave you with too bad of a hangover.

I realize this is a silly reason to like a beer, but I really like the label and the name! The price is right, too. Fat Tire is a popular beer, so you can find it almost anywhere you go.

My first Fat Tire experience is a good one. A friend and I were studying for a chemistry test and decided a six pack of beer would help make it a more enjoyable experience, so we got us some Fat Tire. We didn't end up doing much studying, but nobody cared much!

Fat Tire Amber Ale is a great beer at a good price. This is probally the best amber ale I have drank. Its not avaiable in Michigan which dissapoints me because, it is where I live.

Ive been drinking Fat Tire all night long... Its a new taste for me... Much stronger than my typical Busch Light, Keystone Light, and Bud Light... overall I enjoy it... but it still cant top the Keystone! :)

fat tire...hmmmm....
by: Mr O

i've just come back from a trip across western usa. stopped off at the new belgium brewery in colorado for a tour and i really enjoyed it.

over here it would cost you lots of pounds and you might get a pint. over there it was free, very friendly, get a fair number of small glasses of around 5-6 different types of beers. no hassle to sit in the bar after and mix with the locals.

it's like a different world. and i want to escape to it.

as for fat tire...well what can i say. it's the best. nevermind you lot with your west of the miss. river! i'm in the uk and there's no chance of getting it over here other than getting it mailed and that'll get messy no doubt.

i miss me some fat tire :-(

A Brit's opinion

I tried Fat Tire for the first time while on holiday in California and I loved it. A lovely smooth taste and plenty strong enough without tasting overly "beery".

If I could only track it down back here in the UK then I would be a happy man.

Cheers

could have used better adjectives but the fact that your reviewing fat tire as your favorite shows you have great taste.
