- Tasting Notes
- Citrus and Grapefruit Nose, piney and herbal hop pallet, bready caramel malt backbone
This recipe is my leaning towards my idea of a my favorite beers, a nice west coast style Amber Ale. I love Fat Tire, but wish it had more hop on the pallet and nose. I made Revys Amber Ale, and loved it, just wish it had a little more mouth feel and was heavier on the aroma hops and not quite so bitter. So this is my attempt. I started with Revy's Amber and took some notes from the Fat Tire clones, and then hopped it like Genesis Dry Hopped Session Ale. Hope you like it!
