[QUOTE="TheUnderFighter, post: 8022867, member: 631325"] All three are very different beers... Newcastle is a mediocre English-style Brown Ale. Fat Tire is an Amber Ale with a bit more dominant hop-note. And Moose Drool is a very well done American-Brown, with a sweetness, and prominent chocolate and toffee notes. I remember several years ago when I thought Newcastle was great. A couple months ago I had a couple and was blown away with how little I liked it. I mean, I'll still take it over any of the pathetic Bud, Coors, or Miller... But it's just not a very good beer. Too much carbonation for the most part. Coupled with the fact that it is practically a non-alcoholic beer (only 4.7% abv). There's just not much appealing about it. The high carbonation ruins the drinkability. Moose Drool is sweet and velvety, with proper carbonation. Makes a great, easy drinking, session beer with a modest ~5.5% abv. I like it for a cheaper simple beer when I don't want to get a big buzz while I'm out and just want something to relax with. And Fat Tire is just not good... I mean, some of New Belgium's seasonal stuff is ok, but Fat Tire isn't one of them. It's not the worst... but it's nothing I'd want to pay for. [/QUOTE]
