Description
Põhjala Brewery is the brainchild of three friends and beer aficionados who, like many a future craft brewer, got tired of the tasteless watery lagers that the faceless megacorporations have saturated the beer market with.
We brew small batches of hand crafted ales, using the best malts, loads of mostly New World hops and a relentless passion for good beer. When creating our beers, we are inspired by Nordic nature, Estonian new cuisine and the work of our fellow microbrewers in the U.S., UK and Scandinavia who, in our opinion, are leading the craft beer revolution.
In hops we trust!

At a tasting, thanks DSG, smallish head, very cloudy and very pale orange colour, aroma of citrus, peach and some flowers, aroma of passion fruit, pomello, flowers and just a touch of pine, medium lingering grapefruit bitterness and a light sourness. Really nice.
