Beer shared with my family. Pours a hazy yellow with a small head. Aroma is fruity lots of citrus fruit, especially lime and orange, some peach. Full body. Flavour is sweet and malty, loads of fruit. Sweet orange, stone fruit, grape, peach, quite a lot of pine but integrated well with a rather creamy, malty flavour profile. Nice, abv is well hidden in this juicy, piney IPA.

Shared with my brother and wife during the new naked gun. When cold there was a surprising amount of acidity which was a bit odd, but that disappeared as it warmed up. Very sweet, with malt and sugar contributing. Lovely Ethiopian coffee gives a medium roasted coffee flavour with fruity notes, very nice. Very sweet but lovely flavour and texture, with the coffee shining.

First beer whilst watching the new naked gun. Full on Tonka, especially for a regular strength stout which tends towards a dry stout. Quite good!

Can shared with my brother and wife. Super smooth and refreshing double IPA, so tropical and zesty with loads of peach, mango, papaya, sweet orange, pineapple. Lovely.

Shared with my wife on a Saturday evening. Lovely sour: medium acidity balanced by a nice, gentle sweetness, intense raspberry which carries the beer, a little bit of chocolate that goes well with the raspberry and a gentle heat from the chili without any vegetable distraction. Well crafted and delicious.

Bottle. A good stout as always from Pohjala, but not one of the best cellar series beers. I get lots of cinnamon, but not as much apple as expected. Still very nice and drinkable for the abv.

A banger of a sour ale. Loads of raspberry and blueberry, nice, really balanced acidity, balanced with some nice sweetness. Excellent.
