What’s left to be said about the iconic Fat Tire amber? It’s a beautiful malt forward beer, with bready, caramel notes, that leaves a syrupy lacing behind on the tongue.
‘Fat Tire. A biscuity bready, sweet amber ale, a beer brewed to ease my aching hangover.’
Blue Paddle – 4.8% – Pilsner
With this I got a corn/grainy/wheat taste that ended with a subtle spicy hop finish, nothing too crazy. But simplicity can be a beauty all on its own.
‘Golden sweet, tastes of spring and wet sun pilsner, an easy idle lazy river brew beer.’
Cherry Almond Ale – 5.8% – Fruit/Brown Ale
I thought I was going to hate this at first, expecting a gimmicky flavor that I’ve noticed in other beers where it tastes like cherry flavored cough syrup is added at the end. Thankfully, I was wrong. This was delicious, although I bet it would make a better winter ale, as opposed to spring. It’s rich, with toffee, caramel, and chocolate flavors and a sweet nutty finish. I think it was my favorite in the pack.
‘Cherry and chocolate Indulging ale, rich with toasted toffee caramel coffee comfort.’
Voodoo Ranger 8 Hop – 5.5% – APA
(RIP Ranger) This APA starts with citrus orange flavor and other tropical fruits – like mango and peach. It has a slick resiny texture and finishes with a balanced bready malt sweetness.
‘8 hop ale adventure. Full of floral forest flavor, the garden of Eden pale ale.’
