Fat Tire
Sunday, September 12th, 2004The flavor similarities in this beer to Fat Tire are remarkable. SRM is 12 and Fat Tire is more like 11, so it’s very close. I think the key to the flavor lies in the amber malt (Belgian Pale home toasted at 350F for 25 mins). Highly recommeded by my “Beer Wench”…Before anyone questions the IBU’s…the balance of the beer takes care of it. If anyone brews it, please let me know what you think.
