If you like your beer a little on the strong side, make a trip to Trader Joe’s and get yourself some Fat Weasel Ale. This light golden ale is a bright, bubbly brew with a walloping 7.10% alcohol by volume (ABV). This beer gives off a strong grain aroma and medium malt flavor that is not for weak beer drinkers. If you pay attention, hints of fruit will surface, but this beer isn’t going for gourmet achievement—it’s a straight up Strong American Ale style beer that tastes as good from the bottle as it does in a pint glass. Bottoms up!
