Aroma is sweet citrus, fruit, malts and a hint of piney hops. The flavor is citrus/peel/slight witbier vibe, malts and a mildly sweet/mildly bitter hop finish.

Appearance: Translucent, slightly hazy dark amber/chestnut color, with a creamy small off white head. Great retention and sheets of lacing.
The aroma is offering sweet crystal malts, caramel, cacao nibs, pine, peppery spice, and grapefruit.
Toasted bread/crust, strawberry preserves, dried cherry, hints of chocolate. Pine, wet leaves, and grapefruit peel. Nice balance between sweet and bitter. The finish lingers bitter for a while.
Medium-bodied, well carbonated, some bitterness lingers but ultimately it's pretty clean.
A fantastic hoppy amber ale, bordering on red IPA. An homage to the old amber Fat Tire recipe, this is a delicious beer, although I would recommend it more so for fans of Sierra Nevada Flipside or Celebration instead. Either way, it's fantastic.
