Bring back original Fat Tire recipie

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review: I was not a fan of this beer. There was nothing great about it. It was mediocre and uninspiring. It did not have the same bold flavor as the previous Fat Tire did. I also I did not find the new branding appealing . It looked a little childish.

My go to beer

Fat Tire always delivers a delightful drinking experience with its smooth, balanced flavor and always refreshing. Whether having one alone or paired with a meal, Fat Tire never disappoints. Cheers to Fat Tire for consistently delivering exceptional quality and flavor!

Great casual beer

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. I'm a big fan of fat tire. we most recently got a case for a round of golf and it was the perfect amount of taste while not being too heavy (it was a push cart round so lots of walking and beer swishing in the stomach). it's definitely my go to casual drinking beer!

Fat Tire

A new flagship staple that holds true to the original flagship amber. The ale is crisp, light in body, and refreshing. I feel this brew is easier to go down in succession compared to the amber. Yet, it would have been delightful to have both the amber and ale option.

A classic re-imagined

I drank my first Fat Tire Ale back in 2008 while exploring in Taos, NM. I’m from the east coast, so back then we didnt have any New Belgium brews out East. The beer was great back then and I think I like it even better now. The taste is slightly light and makes for a more sessionable experience. I also really appreciate the styling and overall mission of this beer. One of my go-to choices for a 6 pack, and if I see this draft I usually pick it up. Glad that this beer is available nationwide now!

Fat Tire Ale- New Recipe

I was very skeptical when I received an email that New Belgium was changing the recipe for Fat Tire Ale. Well, my worst fears were founded. I purchased a six pack at my local store as soon as they had it in stock, and it is absolutely horrible! The original recipe for Fat Tire Ale was perfect! Why mess with it? If it's not broken-don't fix it. This was their flagship beer, the one that put them on the map. I hope they return to the original recipe, the sooner the better!

New Fat Tire - not even close to the original

I have been drinking Fat Tire since the early 90s when my friends and I would travel to Ft Collins every summer to play golf. The original was fantastic. When it finally was distributed in Louisiana in the late 2000s, we were really excited. Many bars, restaurants and one of the casinos had it on tap. In 2021, we purchased our own kegerator and had a local liquor store keep kegs on order. Over the years the packaging and labeling changed, but the original always looked the best. The labels actually seemed simpler with less graphics and I thought this was a cost saving move. The Voodoo Ranger series of beers have much more elaborate graphics, so I can't imagine that was the case. We were definitely interested and open-minded when New Belgium changed the formula for Fat Tire. I can honestly say I tried it numerous times in bottles and cans, but it tastes nothing like the original FT. The flavor is somewhat lacking and its almost as if its flat or has been refrigerated and warmed and refrigerated again. Seeing how its not an amber ale and the flavor is so different, it should not be tied to the original Fat Tire, which New Belgium was founded. Like the "New Coke" fiasco, this should have been packaged in the Voodoo Ranger series or as some new stand-alone product. I can only assume sales are weak, as I have seen the new product "on sale" at our local liquor store and have also seen marketing flyers offering $3 off the purchase of a 12-pack. In 30+ years, I have never seen any other New Belgium product "on sale." Even if this review is not bike worthy, please bring back the original Fat Tire. If this is not possible, please just stop producing the version of Fat Tire you are currently selling, its really not a descent tasting beer and a terrible replacement for the original.

Favorite Beer

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. This is easily my favorite beer. The full bodied flavor hits the sweet-spot between light and dark beers. The clean mouth feel is complete without that feeling of "something missing" that many lighter beers have.

Fantastic!

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. Absolutely fantastic! The New Belgium Fat Tire Classic Ale 12 pack cans deliver a rich, smooth taste that’s truly a delight. Each sip is a reminder of why this brew is a classic. Cheers to a must-try beer!

Great Craft Beer

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. I enjoyed this beer as it has a nice balance of flavor without being overly bitter. The finish is smooth and it would go well paired with plenty of food options. Overall this is a great craft beer.
