2 New Belgium Beers





Snow Day: 6.2% Winter Ale (Pictured above)

Pour: Dark black with a thick head 

Smell: Very citrusy with slight floral notes that come from the cascade hops. The smell is very hop dense. 

Taste: It is more smooth and mellow then predicted based upon the smell. It has notes of chocolate, coffee, and caramel. 

Mouthfeel: Thick and balanced. It has a pleasant richness with a slight after bite. It warms the throat... and the tummy. 




Fat Tire Amber Ale - 5.2% (Instagram Photo)

Pour: Copper and almost translucent. It has short white head that beautifully laces the glass. 

Smell: It smells like a combination of Werther's Original Butterscotch and Mrs. Butterworth's Maple Syrup.  =)

Taste: Nice balance of hop and malt. You can taste hints of the caramel and biscuit malts used. 

Mouthfeel: Extremely rich for an ale but smooth. It is very drinkable and nicely carbonated.
