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!

Straight feom can during a dark evening walk. Taste: Hoppy, sweetish, fruity mango and overripe pineapple. Over moderate sweet, light bitterness. Medium body, average carbonation. Mwah... Too sweet for me.

Can. Opaque dark brown beer, small bubbly pale tan head. Smooth palate, mildly dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Light bodied but, intensely flavoured dark malts, a good creamy dark chocolate vibe. Lovely barrelling. Mr Frog says Rum and Raisin and, yes that is loud and clear. You also get a wonderfully rich and intensely ripe fruity whiskey vibe. Trace of smoke. A little alcohol spice on the fairly light finish. That aside, this bloody drinkable for a beer that is wine strength. Of course, offer this to a wine drinker and, they would baulk. Mental barriers eh? Rather splendid.

Pours hazy golden with a white head. Aroma has notes of malt, citrus, grape and pine. Taste is light to medium sweet and medium bitter with a long citrus, grapefruit and pine finish. Body is medium, texture is thin to oily, carbonation is soft.
