Pühaste Brewery

330ml bottle. Attractive hazy, orange marmalade colour with a thin, off-white head and a single ring of lace. Smells of rye and bitter oranges. Taste is surprisingly juicy. There’s spicy rye but also plenty of citrus fruit and nectarine. Medium bodied with a nicely oily mouthfeel. Bitterness is low and the finish is only lightly dry. Overall, an extremely enjoyable, easy-drinking fruity version of a rye beer. Would definitely drink again if I get the opportunity to visit Estonia.

Pours a cloudy, golden amber coloration with a medium, fluffy head. Smells of spicy rye malt and tropical hops, with a distinct pineapple aroma and hints of peach. Taste is a great balance of bready, quite spicy rye malt and bitter, fruity hops, with strong notes of pineapple and lighter peach accents. Finishes with a medium bitterness and some rye spice and pineapple lingering in the aftertaste. Soft mouthfeel with a medium body and carbonation.

A very nice Rye Pale Ale that really shows off that spicy rye malt character very well, while also featuring some rather nice tropical and stone fruit notes from the BRU-1 hops and finishing with a good bitterness. Overall, a rather pleasant, easy-drinking brew with a good balance of malt and hops, as well as fruity, bitter and spicy notes, with a rather nice, soft mouthfeel as well.
