Põhjala

This German Pils captures the essence of the harvest with its use of whole-cone Saaz hops, delivering an exceptionally vibrant and herbal sensory experience. The aroma opens with intense notes of fresh wildflowers and spicy cracked pepper, supported by a delicate, doughy malt backbone reminiscent of toasted crackers. On the palate, a firm, crisp bitterness immediately takes hold, characteristic of the style's dry and refreshing nature. The finish is remarkably clean and lingering, showcasing the purity of the Estonian water and the bright, resinous quality of the fresh hops. It is a masterclass in balance between floral elegance and sharp, quenching drinkability.

Appearance. Brilliant straw gold (approx. 3 SRM) with a dense, creamy white head that exhibits excellent retention and leaves intricate lacing on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring distinct spicy, herbal, and floral notes from the Saaz hops. Behind the hops sits a low but clean grainy-sweet malt presence with hints of water crackers and a touch of honey. Fermentation is perfectly clean.

Taste. Initial soft malt sweetness of dough and light grain is quickly overtaken by a sharp, assertive hop bitterness. Flavors of herbal spice and dried flowers persist throughout. The balance is decisively bitter, leading into a bone-dry, crisp finish with a lingering minerality and herbal aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with high carbonation that provides a prickly, refreshing scrub on the tongue. Very crisp and clean; no alcohol warmth is perceived at 5% ABV.
