AVONDALE — You may have missed the launch party for Lost Lake’s own one-of-a-kind beer but the tiki bar’s unique house ale is still up for sale.
Within a month of opening on the border of Logan Square and Avondale, Lost Lake head bartender Paul McGee had already brewed the tiki bar its first house beer: Lost Lake Exotica Ale, a Maibock-style beer billed as “the perfect beer-back to drink with rum.”
The bottled beer and was thought up for Lost Lake after some tinkering between McGee and Marz Brewing Company brewer Tim Lange, according to the Lost Lake crew. Lost Lake Exotica Ale is on the lower end of the ABV at 6 percent and “pours a light amber color with a long lasting fluffy head.”
“The beer is medium-bodied with fruit, toast and toffee flavors coming from the malts, and finishes almost dry with a mellow noble hop bitterness and spice that leaves you wanting more,” according to a Lost Lake description.
Lost Lake Exotica Ale is available in 22 ounce bottles, featuring a label designed by artist Cody Hudson.
