I am a huge fan of New Belgium beers. I have had every beer they make multiple times and taken their brewery tour a half dozen times. That is why it is so odd for me to be writing a review on their beer, it is as commonplace to me as Bud Light is to most of America. Anyways, here we go.

Beer: Fat Tire

Brewery: New Belgium Brewery, Fort Collins, CO

Style: American Amber / Red Ale

ABV: 5.2%

Serving Type: Can

BeerAlcoholBlog.com Rating: 4.5 Stars

Notes: I was already a huge fan of Fat Tire in either a draft or bottle format but when I received a chance to taste it in a can I was stunned. My first taste was from a can taken right off the New Belgium canning line during a VIP tour. (March of 09) From that very first can to the 12-pack I purchased on Sunday, this beer never disappoints. The canned version of Fat Tire is can conditioned which makes it taste like it was just poured from the brewery. 

This beer is not available in all 50 states yet but if you ever come across it you need to purchase some.

Awesome amber color with a whitish beige head

Nice strong flavor
