FIX Dark

Olympic Brewery
Greece·Dark Lager
Tap to rate

Apple, banana and caramel meet freshly roasted malt in this 5.2% dark lager, which sits under a creamy foam and drinks easy and balanced. It is the dark lager of the FIX range, a Greek brand with roots in 1864 that was revived in 2010, when a newly built brewery in Ritsona on Evia put the historic FIX Hellas back on the Greek market.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for FIX Dark

◎ Appearance

Deep mahogany brown with a reddish undertone, held at SRM 20. The beer presents clear to bright clarity beneath a creamy, persistent foam head that clings to the glass with visible lacing. Fine carbonation supports the stable head throughout the pour.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced roasted malt character—grainy and slightly coffee-forward—anchored by fresh-baked toast notes. Fruity esters add distinct banana and green apple, while subtle caramel sweetness rounds the aromatic profile without becoming cloying.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and malty with immediate roasted grain and caramel sweetness. Mid-palate develops smooth, creamy mouthfeel with lingering banana and subtle toasty notes; the 22 IBU bitterness remains restrained and integrated. The beer balances sweetness and roast character without harshness or astringency.
