The Phat Tyre kit is a very good Belgian pale ale. The name would suggest that it is a clone of New Belgium’s Fat Tire but it doesn’t taste anything like that if you use the suggested Belgian yeast. This kit has won me several medals in competitions when I enter it as a Belgian Pale Ale. I make the all grain version but it also comes as extract kit.

This weekend it will be 2 weeks in the bottle.
It was all belgian malts, pils, caramel pils and wheat. 10% sugar.
Fermented with Orval culture that I grew from 1 1/2 year old bottle.
FG was 1.010 when I dry hopped it with Halluertauer and Fuggles.
6%, probably could have gotten 1.005 if I would have upped the sugar to 20%
But I was trying to keep it on the refreshing side and hoping over time the brett will continue to chew some more of the sugars. We shall see.
You cannot go wrong with NB’s Lefse kit.
