Description
Fat Lizard Brewing Co. is a Finnish Indie brewery specializing in super fresh and drinkable American-style beers.
We’re located in Otaniemi, in the very heart of Espoo. As the first commercial brewery ever in Espoo, the company was founded by four fellows – Hessu, Topo, Topi and Eero – in 2014 and has been operative since February 2015. Today the brewery staff includes 15 irreplaceable characters altogether.
After many years of homebrewing and heavy testing, the recipes were just too good to keep for ourselves. It was time to build a brewhouse in Kivenlahti Rock Bay. Two years of constant sold-out storage left no beer for ourselves. So we moved on and expanded in Otaniemi with a decent sized brewing equipment going nationwide.
Now our beer portfolio contains various styles of craft beer, all made in our extraordinary way of brewing. Including internationally acclaimed gems. Drink more, drink better!

(Keg at One Pint Pub, 20161118) The beer poured black. Its head was small and lightly brown. Aroma had pine, resin and burnt malts. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were pine, resin, burnt malts, liquorice and bitterness. Aftertaste was hoppy, burnt and bitter. A nice hoppy dark ale. The burnt flavours weren’t dominating.

Draught @ OlutExpo 2016. Pours clear golden orange with a smooth head. Aroma of juicy fruits, zesty grapefruit, grass, hay and caramely malts. Taste is smooth, fruity and juicy with some caramel, hay, pine and grapefruit. Finish is crisp, juicy and fruity with some caramely malts, citrus, pine and herbal notes. Okay, but could use even more fruitiness and less caramely maltiness. --- Beer merged from original tick of Conan Juice IPA on 04 Nov 2016 at 16:09 - Score: 7

Draught @ Stones, Helsinki. Pours dark orange with a smooth head. Aroma of juicy fruits, zesty citrus, grapefruit and raspberries, hints of caramely maltiness. Taste is smooth, fruity and juicy with some caramely malts, grapefruit and raspberries. Finish is hoppy, fruity and slightly caramely malty with some raspberries and juicy notes. Smooth DIPA with an interesting touch of raspberries. Works surprisingly well.
