Wet Hop Lager 5% vol (Saaz)
A crisp and pale lager brewed with hundreds of kilograms of harvest fresh whole cone Saaz hops from Czech Republic.
Taste
Light and crisp with an excellent thirst-quenching quality. The flavor closely follows the aroma – gentle citrus, fresh herbal bitterness, and a hint of resinous character. A touch of sweet maltiness in the background adds balance.
Nose
The first impression is herbal and grassy, with subtle notes of pine bark and citrus peel essential oils in the background.
Appearance
A clear, bright yellow beer with a lasting white, finger-thick head.

100ml draught from a sample tray at Pöhja Konn. Almost clear golden body, fair lacing from a declining white head. Inviting citrus on the nose, mid-dry. Orange fruity flavours with grainy malts beneath. A little bitter touch towards the ending. Rounded on the swallow (Tallinn, 06.11.2025)

44cl can bought at the brewery. Pours clear golden with a white head. Mild malty and hoppy with grassy and herbal notes, hints of hay and fruits as well. Moderate sweet with fairly low flavour intensity and ditto bitterness. Fairly crisp, refreshing and sessionable, quite drinkable.
