hopIQ found 10 beers with the same caramel and sweet character as Lavaman. Lavaman is the red ale of the Kailua-Kona brewery, named after the volcanic landscape of Maui and available only at its pubs. Aromatic and dark caramel malt give a deep reddish amber colour and a pronounced caramel and toffee sweetness, while a small share of chocolate malt adds a quiet note of cocoa and bread crust. Cascade and Columbia bring grapefruit peel and a light resinous touch, Hallertauer a herbal edge. The body is full and smooth, and the bitterness keeps the malt in balance through a rounded finish. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
