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!

44cl can from Selver, Tallinn. Pours slightly hazy yellow with a white head. Fruity aroma with mild citrusy notes, pineapple, tropical fruits and citrus peel. Moderate to medium sweet with fruity flavours and a rather dry and moderate bitter finish. Quite drinkable.

A good surprise from a serious brewery, a solid porter light and powerfully aromatic with notes of chocolate, cocoa, roasted malt, syrupy and a bit watery, some hop, not heavy and it was perfect before to sleep, 21.09.21, at Epalinges
