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!

Bottle from a Tallinn supermarket. Poured a dark mahogany with a frothy light tan head. The aroma is sweet caramel malt. The flavour is moderate sweet with a creamy malt toffee caramel hop bitter palate. Moderate to full bodied with soft carbonation. Estonian brewing is improving.

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.

(Keg at Gallow’s Bird, 20140830) The beer poured deep amber and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had malts, pine, creamy toffee and sweetness. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness, sweetness, malts, booze, creamy toffee and bitterness. Aftertaste was hoppy, sweet and bitter. A strong flavoured and boozy brew. Not really my style.
