Pohjala - Kirsiolu

A beautifully fruity and refreshing creation from Estonia's acclaimed Põhjala Brewery, Kirsiõlu is a vibrant Cherry Ale that celebrates the deliciously juicy character of ripe cherries, combining luscious fruit flavours with a wonderfully balanced malt backbone.

Pouring an inviting ruby-red with a delicate pinkish head, this enticing fruit beer delivers aromas of ripe cherries, sweet summer berries and subtle almond-like fruit notes, complemented by a gentle hint of malt sweetness.

On the palate, juicy cherry flavours take centre stage, delivering a delightful combination of natural fruit sweetness and refreshing tartness. A carefully balanced blend of barley and oat malts provides a smooth, rounded mouthfeel, while restrained hop bitterness allows the bright cherry character to shine. The addition of cherry juice concentrate creates a deliciously fruity depth without overwhelming the beer's refreshing qualities.

Finishing clean and gently tart, with lingering notes of ripe cherries and delicate malt sweetness, Kirsiõlu is a wonderfully approachable fruit beer that's equally enjoyable on its own or paired with chocolate desserts, creamy cheeses and fruity puddings.
