Põhjala Kosmos

Brewed by Põhjala Brewery
Style: IPA
Tallinn, Estonia
Founded in 2011 by four Estonian beer enthusiasts, Põhjala are now the largest craft brewery from the Baltic countries.
The beers are inspired by Estonian heritage, local nature and cuisine, taking well known beer styles and adding their own distinctive taste with a surprising twist, from wild foraging ingredients for their ‘Forest Series’ to their heavy hitting ‘Cellar Series’.
Review: 33cl bottle of Põhjala Kosmos IPA: 5.5% vol.
Comes in bottles, cans and kegs. The name Kosmos refers to the IPA you are about to drink, as described by the brewers, “an intergalactic IPA brewed with huge amounts of citra and mosaic”, ……. hitting the stars, well lets hope so!
Less attractive is the rather dull logo, modern art style of what looks like a sand storm or a bit of dust blowing in the wind. I don’t know I kind of like my beers to come with some simple stuff, like its name, how strong it is, and what exactly I am drinking, but hey hoo who am I to argue with I am after all just a humble drinker. This my first tryout from the small country of Estonia.
On pour get a nice golden yellow coloured brew and a lot of carbonation fizzing about. Despite all that the head isn’t great, and the end result is a beer that looks like a fruit juice with minimal heading. Not a looker.
The aroma is very nice, a typical IPA aroma that hits the nose immediately after opening resulting in a very pleasurable smell. I get the citrus and assorted tropical fruits, the malts, the hops, pine, very nice.
The taste is very sweet, at least that was my first reaction, very sweet! Also deep bodied in the taste, typical IPA style, not bad at all. Malts, hops and lots of tropical fruits.
Very fruity, lovely to taste.
Hops are well manageable, and the attack of the fruits on the tastebuds is a killer for this beer.
Very tasty beer, liked it a lot, very easy to enjoy the differing hops (mosaic and citra hops), the fresh citrus and tropical fruits, that were full to the max in flavours. Loved it and it is well worth checking out again. So tasty, so easy to drink and I was pleasantly surprised. Recommended.

Comes in an all brown can, not the prettiest sight but it will do. Also can get in bottles.
After his discharge from Israel’s air force in 2007 following a 30-year career as a pilot, Ori Sagi 54, decided to become a brewmaster. Putting his hobbyist’s love for brewing and his business degree to use, he launched Alexander Beer with the support of investors. The name of the brewery of course is named after the Alexander River that runs close to the operation, while the logo of the turtles, well they are a plenty in that said river! Today, Alexander Beer produces about six different kinds of beer, bottles and kegs combined, as well as special edition beers a few times a year. 
On pour got a very nice frothy white head, very good, and a yellowish golden colour. A decent appearance. Head maintained very well and stuck around, standing tall in this good looking brew. Looks the business. Some lacing present.
Kona Brewing Company is a brewery in Kailua-Kona, a town on the west coast of Hawaii Island (the Big Island!).
Available all year round this quintessential beach beer comes in cans and bottles, and on draft in Hawaii.
Nice crispy mouthfuls initially on the taste, a good start and a refreshing intro to this beer. Tastes like a regular lager and does the business for sure, smooth and easy to drink. 
Originally all their beer was brewed by contract by Matt Brewing Company, it was here that they first developed their famous Brooklyn lager. Other beer types were developed in time, a Weisse to an exciting Black Chocolate Stout to a more standard East IPA.
The brewery are at the forefront of culture, sponsoring festivals, concerts, food tours and more. They also offer beer education courses in The Art and Science of Brewing with the Culinary Institute of America. Now that’s a course I could get into, a full curriculum on beer which includes the science and practicalities behind brewing and the business and social aspects to it. Beers are produced as part of the course. 
On pour it looks fantastic, a good sized frothy head, some nice carbonation and a lovely dark golden colour, very appetizing, game on! Very good lacing.
