American Lager 5 º 11 IBU

Fat Lizard Brewing Co.

Kivimies is a vibrant, gluten-free American Lager that balances traditional crispness with a modern, aromatic hop profile. Built on a clean, light-bodied base, it showcases a nuanced blend of Mt Hood, Columbus, Magnum, and Simcoe hops. These varieties provide subtle layers of herbal spice, resinous pine, and a touch of citrus, elevating the typically neutral lager profile. The fermentation is impeccably clean, allowing a delicate grainy malt sweetness to peek through before a snap of high carbonation and a dry, refreshing finish take hold. It is an approachable yet characterful interpretation that emphasizes hop fragrance over heavy bitterness.

Appearance. Very pale straw to light yellow in color with a brilliant clarity. It supports a bright white, frothy head with moderate persistence and light, fine-bubbled lacing.

Aroma. Low intensity aroma of grainy, sweet malt. The hop character is notably present for the style, exhibiting spicy and floral notes from the Mt Hood and Columbus, with a faint resinous undertone from the Simcoe. Fermentation is very clean with no perceptible esters.

Taste. Initial impression is crisp and neutral with a low grainy-sweet malt flavor. Hop flavor is moderate-low but distinct, featuring herbal and woody notes with a hint of citrus. Bitterness is low but firm enough to balance the malt. The finish is very dry and clean with a short, refreshing aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with very high carbonation that creates a refreshing carbonic bite on the tongue. Smooth delivery with no astringency and a subtle, well-integrated alcohol presence.
