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!

Draught @ Vastarannan Kiiski. Rated on 5.5.2015 Aroma has grainy and buttery malt with minerals and hayish tones. Flavour has grain, some harsh malty notes, resin, woody tones and some gooseberry bush -like hops in the finish. Some mint notes occur at the middle of the glass. A grainy ale easy to drink. 6-3-7-3-14 = 3.3 44 cl can @ home. Canned 8.4.2021, BBE 08.12.2021. Rated on 4.5.2021 Lots of foam when pouring. Aroma is mild with grainy malt. Flavour has minerals, resiny malt, some grain and mild gooseberry bush in the finish. Easy to drink but a tad too dry. Could be more rich and malty. And resiny! 7-3-7-3-15 = 3.5

Tap at Black Door. Clear amber color, good creamy white head, lace. Aroma has citrus and fruityness. Light-bodied to medium-bodied. Pale malty, mellow fruity hoppyness. Easygoing but clean. My first one from this brewery.

(Keg at Oljenkorsi, 20150320) The beer poured amber and hazy. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had fruitiness, citrciness, lemon juice and malts. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness, citricness, pine, malts, sweetness and bitterness. Aftertaste was hoppy and acridly bitter. A brew with nice aroma but a too harsh taste.

Tap@ Black door. Amber colored, thin white head. Citrusy aroma, some lime even. Not much else really. Flavor has gooseberries, citrus, tea. Finish is hoppy, bitter and crisp. High carbonation. Tea is quite evident in the finish. Not a bad brew by any means but don’t stick out in any way.
