Provided are: a method for producing a fermented malt liquid having a low ethanol concentration and a much less unpleasant odor originating from wort; and a fermented malt beverage produced from the fermented malt liquid obtained by the production method. The present invention pertains to: a method for producing a fermented malt beverage, the method comprising a step for inoculating, with yeast, a fermentation raw material liquid containing a saccharified product of malt and fermenting the same to prepare a fermented malt liquid, wherein the yeast is RAG- phenotype Kluyveromyces lactis, and the ethanol concentration per Brix 5.0 mass% of the fermented malt liquid is less than 0.05 v / v%; and a method for producing a fermented malt beverage, wherein a fermented malt liquid is produced by the method for producing a fermented liquid, and thereafter, a fermented malt beverage is produced using the obtained fermented malt liquid as a raw material.
