3.05/5 rDev -15.7%
look: 4 | smell: 2.5 | taste: 3 | feel: 4 | overall: 3

Bought this on a recent trip to Omaha, heard so many good things about it that I thought I would give it a shot, 12 oz bottle, best before 15DEC06 and marked 20188 066128 1102, poured into a pint glass

Apours clear light copper with a 1 ½ inch sand colored cloud like head that collapses down after several minutes, laces like Swiss cheese

Ssweet and sour, more sour than anything, some bread tones, not to my liking, actually, a little dirt aroma as well

Tsweet, buttery, biscuit, some fruitiness, very strong flavor, finishes on the dry side

Msmooth, medium/light bodied, good carbonation

Dglad I tried it, but not something I would have on a regular basis. I really dont like the smell.

You're not my beer, Fat Tire, but I'll drink you anyway. Appearance is a solid amber. Smell is interestingly of cereal and hops, citrus hops at that. Let's give her a taste. I get a hoppy and malty beer with a creamy finish. Nicely done overall. I'd drink it again, but I have an embargo against all NB beers for personal reasons. I'd say drink up if it's your cup of brew hah hah.
