New Belgium Brewing is pleased to announce a new beer to the Fat Tire trademark family with the launch of Fat Tire Belgian White Ale, a special release beer slated to hit shelves in August. This light-bodied, unfiltered wheat beer, brewed with juicy Seville orange peel and freshly ground coriander, will provide the perfect balance of refreshment and drinkability with just a hint of sweetness.
“Fat Tire Belgian White captures the spirit and flavor of a truly authentic Belgian White beer,” said New Belgium’s Belgian Brewmaster, Peter Bouckaert. “We are sourcing the Seville orange peel and coriander through Old Town Spice Shop locally here in Fort Collins, so the spices are freshly ground less than a mile from our brewery. This gives the beer a fuller, fresher flavor and aroma resulting in a very drinkable Belgian White beer with just the right amount of complexity.”
Seville oranges have a brighter, less cloying sweetness than Valencia oranges that are typically used in Belgian White beers. Fat Tire Belgian White will be available in 12oz. bottles and on draft starting August 1. It will also appear in can variety packs.
New Belgium’s portfolio has started 2017 strong with Voodoo Ranger IPA, Voodoo Ranger Imperial IPA and Dayblazer Easygoing Ale having secured the top three spots for true craft beer launches in 2017 according to latest Nielsen reports.
