Our Fathom India Pale Lager combines time-honored lagering techniques with the hop profiles of a West Coast IPA recipe. The cold-fermenting lager yeast provides a clean base that allows the citrus and pine aromas from the hops to really shine. The result is a gold medal beer with a refreshing, easy drinking character and just the right amount of depth.

355ml can bought from djoeye. The body has got a golden-orange colour, slightly hazy. Stable off-white head, spotty lacing. Moderate fruity aroma of peach and apricot. Mixed flavours of pale and brown malts along with notes of pine and apricot. Rounded mid-sweet ending, mostly hidden alcohol. Smooth on the swallow. Not bad at all (enjoyed in sunny weather up north in Tromsø 15.08.2015).

650 ml purchased at One Stop Market. Clear gold color with skimpy head. Aroma of fruity peach, Mango, pine, maybe even citrus.
Well crafted lager. Body is a bit bolder then I was expecting, juicy fruit texture with some moderate amount of malt to give the hops balance. Mild bitter. Nice drink.

On tap at The Ginger Man, NY. Almost clear in the glass, amber in color and topped by a dense, finger-thick off-white head. Pine cones, some grass and booze and a rather malty touch in the aroma. Caramel too. It has a nice bitterness to deal with the caramel malts, along with grass, piney flavors. It’s dry and nicely carbonated, with a faint warming touch, and a long finish. Not my kind of beer this one, but at least it gets better after a few sips. 150624

Big white head quickly shrinks into coarse lacing. Clear amber body. Resiny floral plastic aroma with raisin notes. Dry-sweet resiny spicy floral taste with plastic notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, soft mouthfeel. Dry resiny floral herbal aftertaste with minty fruity saffron notes. Partly excellent, but the plastic does it no favours. (0.355l can, from Systembolaget, Visby.)

0,33 boks fra Systembolaget Vasagatan Stockholm, på hotellrommet og delt med Kitty: klar oransjegylden med hvitt skum. Overmodne citrusfrukter, brøddeig, karamell og en diskret alkohol i bakgrunnen både i aroma og smak, virkelig kjærkomment etter to svenske starkøl (hva er det med denne miserablwntradisjonen?). Ikke en apa, heller ikke en imp.pilsner, men en vellykket og meget lettdrikkelig hybrid.

355ml can from Systembolaget, Nyköping. Amber color, thick dense white head. Nice citrusy, piny, grassy, spicy hoppy aroma. Flavor continues the same, hoppy fruitiness, citrusy. Creamy palate, very quaffable. Could not tell this is a lager in any way. Fresh.
