Amager Summer Fusion

We wanted to prove that we could make a low alcohol beer rich in taste… and we named the outcome “Fusion”. As the name indicates it is a true fusion beer due to the fact that our inspiration came from different styles and countries. The yeast is classic German pilsner yeast, which we – against its will, fermented at 71.6°F. This is a technique know from the American styles “California Common” a.k.a. “Steam Beer”. Consequently, we were able to combine the crisp freshness from lager beers with a portion of the fruity freshness found in top fermented beers.

Our choice of malt is somewhat unusual as we selected an English Mild Ale malt adding a dark, roasted character to the beer, as well as a couple of handful of German caramel malt adding sweetness and a soft touch to the beer.

And it wouldn’t be a true beer from Amager Bryghus, if we hadn’t been generous with the hops. We chose classic American aroma hops such as Centennial, Chinook, and Amarillo – you know, the ones which really massages your taste buds. Additionally, these hops leave behind the most pleasurable, citric-like freshness.
