New Belgium Fat Tire

I stumbled across this beautiful 20 oz concoction at a local pub (no not the sandwich shop in the background) and decided to give it a try.
New Belgium is actually an American company that likens its brews to Belgium styles. They incorporate non-traditional yeast and complex fruity styles in their beers. The company is currently ran by a former Belgium Brewmaster.

I had the pleasure of trying New Belgium's Fat Tire, which has this extraordinary crystal clear deep golden color, with a virgin-like white head. It smells like kiwi fruit but has the taste of lightly sweetened toast with just enough bitterness to balance it out. It feels extremely light on the pallet and refreshing. Though New Belgium is not big on releasing ingredient lists, they did reveal that speciality, caramel, and Munich malts make up 30%. I am definitely looking forward to trying their signature Abbey Dubble. Fat Tire comes in at 5.5% ABV.
