Violet Fire is a modern reimagining of the classic American Lager, bridging the gap between a crisp, clean fermentation profile and the vibrant aromatic bouquet of a modern IPA. This hybrid creation features a neutral, grainy malt base that yields to an expressive display of new age hops, delivering distinctive sensory notes of tropical melon and sweet coconut. While maintaining the high attenuation and refreshment expected of an American Lager, it offers an uncharacteristically ultra-soft mouthfeel that transcends the traditional style. It finishes remarkably clean and dry, leaving a lingering juicy impression that remains effortlessly sessionable and bright.
Appearance.Very pale straw to medium yellow (2-3 SRM). Brilliant clarity with a white, frothy head that displays moderate persistence and light lacing.
Aroma.Moderate to high intensity hop character featuring prominent notes of ripe tropical melon and sweet coconut. Malt presence is low, offering a faint hint of sweet grain or white bread. Fermentation is exceptionally clean with no detectable esters or phenols.
Taste.The initial impression is crisp and refreshing. The palate is defined by a neutral malt base that serves as a canvas for juicy hop flavors of honeydew melon and creamy coconut. Bitterness is low, providing just enough balance to support the hops without lingering. The finish is dry, clean, and highly attenuated.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with a notably soft, almost creamy texture that differs from the sharp carbonic bite of typical lagers. Carbonation is moderate-high. No alcohol warmth is perceived.

Violet Fire presents a bright straw color, lightly chill hazed, topped by a head of white foam. Uinta calls this a “new style lager” – essentially a classic American-style lager base that’s been “re-imagined” by dry-hopping with the modern hop cultivars Sabro and El Dorado to deliver the juicy and fruity hop aroma (although not the bitterness) of a modern IPA. On the nose, look for an expressive and complex array of subtle impressions including...
