We wanted to prove that we could make a low alcohol beer rich in taste... and we named the outcome "Fusion". As the name indicates it is a true fusion beer due to the fact that our inspiration came from different styles and countries. The yeast is classic German pilsner yeast, which we - against its will, fermented at 71.6°F. This is a technique know from the American styles "California Common" a.k.a. "Steam Beer". Consequently, we were able to combine the crisp freshness from lager beers with a portion of the fruity freshness found in top fermented beers.
Our choice of malt is somewhat unusual as we selected an English Mild Ale malt adding a dark, roasted character to the beer, as well as a couple of handful of German caramel malt adding sweetness and a soft touch to the beer.
And it wouldn’t be a true beer from Amager Bryghus, if we hadn’t been generous with the hops. We chose classic American aroma hops such as Centennial, Chinook, and Amarillo - you know, the ones which really massages your taste buds. Additionally, these hops leave behind the most pleasurable, citric-like freshness.
Are you confused? No reason to be as our Fusion is the answer to the many people who over the years have asked for an American/English/German top and bottom fermented pilsner ale, which has lots of taste but is low on alcohol!

Light haze on this gold beer. Small off white head. Palate is light and soft with fine minerally carbonation. Lovely sweet floralness with light citrus. Airy light malt cream. Finishes soft with very light bitterness. A lovely low abv beer. Has body and flavour and it went superbly well with spicy food.

Bottle from ABC Beers, Den Haag. Poured a hazy medium amber with a frothy white head. The aroma is grassy hop. The flavour is medium to strong bitter with a slightly soapy grassy hop bitter palate and a short bitter finish. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

Wspaniale letnie piwo o niskim procencie i wspanialym aromacie grejfruta i pomaranczy, to wszystko za sprawa silnie aromatycznych amerykanskich chmieli. W smaku podobnie wytrawno cytrusowo ozezwiajacy smak, a wyglad przepiekny zmetniony o kolorze ciemnej pomaranczy z ubita mocno trwala piana. Polecam i nie tylko na letnie upalne dni.

Draught at Fermentoren. Lovely orange-golden colour with a small, white head. Fruity aroma with citrus, pines, peaches and light caramel malts. Taste is light bitter. Light body, thin texture, lively carbonated. Finishes bitter, fruity and floral. A bit watery bodily which is no wonder considering the 3,5 % abv. Othervise just soooo fresh and fruity. An excellent choice for a hot summers day. Clearly the best 3,5 % beer I had.
