END OF THE STORY

Juntunen Pale Ale was released almost 10 years ago and with Viimeinen Juntunen IPA we are now closing the circle. This will be the last beer released by us. Thank you Ari "Arde" Juntunen for inspiration, support and friendship over the years. Thank you dear customers, shareholders, partners of all sorts, collaborators, friends, families and pets. This was quite a ride!

Viimeinen Juntunen IPA is a modernised version of our first ever beer. It's a hybrid between West Coast IPA and Hazy IPA. It's heavily hopped from the kettle to the cold side. Aromas of peach, mango and citrus fruits mix with piney elements. It is dry, smooth and heavily bitter.

Fermentables: Golden Promise, Flaked Oat, Dextrin, Pale Caramel.
Kettle/Whirlpool Hops: Chinook, Amarillo, Citra
Dry Hops: Azacca, Citra, Galaxy.
Yeast: Lallemand Pomona.

Flavours were pine, resin, citrus fruits, creamy toffee, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste had pine, resin and bitterness. Pleasant hoppy brew with sharp bitter finish.

From keg @ Juova, Helsinki. Poured slightly hazy golden in color. White head. Resiny and fruity with a growing bitterness. Mouthdrying, stone fruity and citrusy. Solid and a good way to end an era. RIP Sonnisaari.
