44cl can from Selver, Tallinn. Pours clear, dark brown, close to black, with a modest slightly tanned head. Malty and breast with notes of rye and hops. Surprisingly dry and not much sweetness at all. I see that it's only1,2g pr. 100ml, so much less than most, I think. Easy to drink and quite enjoyable, a bit watery as expected, but mild, pleasant bitterness in the finish.

Don't know if this really out of production. Has certainly been rebrewed in 2026, maybe as a one-shot? Anyways...
Dark golden with the slightest orange hints. Very hazy (borderlining murky). Average sized, quite compact white head, ok retention and lacing. Quite good intensity in the aroma, where a bit of soft, white bread like base is overcome by strong fruity notes (candied orange and grapefruit most clearly discernible, but definition isn't great) and a bit of resinous feel. As mentioned, good intensity and freshness, but so-so definition and not that much complexity. Taste notes follow the aroma closely, even in terms of intensity/freshness/definition... Plus, a bit of hop burn shows up in finish/aftertaste. Sweetness and bitterness are both pretty intense, but they find a good overall balance. Medium body (feels lighter than expected for the abv), with average carbonation; hides the abv very well and feels pretty drinkable and quite lively. Overall: still a quite intense and pleasantly refreshing IPA, but not that convincing; not fully up to Pohjala's standards.

On tap at Põhja Konn, Tallin. Pours clear golden with a white head. Pleasanly hoppy with mild fruity notes. Moderate sweet with low to medium flavour intensity and ditto bitterness. Quite drinkable.

Golden colour, medium-sized white head and some lace. Grainy, piney aroma. Light-bodied. Mellow even a bit sweet malty, fruityness and citrus and pine. Nice hybrid of pilsner and West Coast IPA.

Roasty, earthy and stuffy with some hints of apples, cognac, syrup, faint licorice, barrel and molasses. A bit faded and heavy

Can. Sweet, lightly warming, with berries and some honey. Sourness towards the finish. Astringent, bitter finish. Sure not my favorite Pöhjala brew. 43437 260718

50cl can at home.
The beer poured golden in color.
Oranges, some sweetness, light bitterness. Might not be the freshest can.
