A refreshing pale lager brewed with birch to capture Estonian nature and sauna culture.
Taste: From the first sip to the aftertaste, strong birch sauna whisk notes prevail. The beer has a rather full-bodied character. Although birch is dominant, it is pleasantly balanced with malty sweetness and a touch of citrusy hop bitterness.
Appearance: A clear golden-yellow beer with a dense, long-lasting white head.
Nose: The aroma is herbal, with a strong dominance of birch leaf scents. In the background, there’s a hint of sweet maltiness characteristic of lagers.
Malts: Pilsner malt, Dextrin malt
Hops: Hallertau Mittelfrüh, Birch

440 ml can, as Põhjala Kask Forest Lager, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 5%. Gusher can. Slightly hazy pale golden colour, large white head. Aroma of pilsener malts, birch sap, birch leaves and floral and herbal hops. Soft mouthfeel and flavour. The flavour has the same elements as the aroma, a hint of citrus and honey, moderate bitterness.

440ml can from Vinonopolet Langnes. Misty pale golden body, slowly declining white head, fair lacing. Quite promising malt-fruity aromas, mid-dry. Fine blended taste of biscuit, noble hops, and mild malty sweetness. Drying close with a bitter touch. Food friendly with our coalfish. Pretty good (Tromsø, 08.07.2025).

Can at home. Pours a .hazy straw yellow colour with a small off-white head. Aroma of hay, light bread, sweet corn and some lime. Flavour of wet hay, light bread, grass and heather in the background. Has a slick mouth feel, medium body and a soft to medium level bitternes. A creative touch on a pale lager. Interesting.
