- Tasting Notes
- Like a more flavorful Fat Tire
I brewed this beer for my wife for our 18th anniversary coming up on 6/16. She really likes amber ales like Bell's and Fat Tire and brown ales like Ellie's Brown and Moose Drool, so I was trying to come up with a beer that she would like, but I didn't want anything too big or heavy since I plan to serve it in June. I am VERY pleased with the results. She hasn't tried it carbed (she wants to wait until our anniversary to tap it) but she really enjoyed the hydrometer sample when I kegged it. This is super tasty! I really like the combination of the cascade and tettnang hops. Hopefully there's still some left by our anniversary!
