Fatlamp

◎ Appearance

Fatlamp presents a hazy, golden-amber body characteristic of the style, with suspended yeast particles creating an opaque, inviting appearance. The head is persistent and cream-coloured, with good adhesion to the glass. Carbonation is moderate and visible, supporting a lively but not aggressive visual character.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced tropical fruit notes—ripe stone fruit and citrus zest—driven by the Mosaic, Simcoe and Waimea hop blend. A resinous, piney character emerges beneath the fruit, adding structural complexity. Subtle malt sweetness provides a soft foundation, allowing the hop aromatics to remain in the foreground.

◐ Taste

Entry is full-bodied and approachable, with ripe fruit and grapefruit character settling on the palate immediately. Mid-palate balances lingering citrus and tropical notes against a building, herbal bitterness that grows toward the finish. The resinous quality carries through, adding a dry, slightly woody dimension without overwhelming the fruit-forward profile.

◑ Finish

The finish is long and resolutely bitter, with pine and resin dominating the aftertaste. Drying sensations persist, leaving a grainy, slightly herbal residue on the palate.
