Sovs Pettinen

Cloudy orange juice appearance, and the flavours are matchingly citrus-driven - and juicy as promised. Gets more grapefruity towards the finish. Quite dry overall, no malt sweetness. A solid, very style-fitting juicy American IPA. Never a disappointment.

Winter Hero Pettinen

Not sure what’s the winter here, maybe the slight spicyness that lingers around throughout. Otherwise good standard american IPA of To Øl quality. Hazy, looks and feels like a New England, but hop flavours are more west coaster. Could work for apres-ski.

Chugwork Orange Pettinen

Yes, one of my favourite icecreams in a can; orange sherbet and creamy vanilla. Still counts as a beer, as there’s a light, wheaty malt base. Lots of lactose, and a slight tangy, tart twist, maybe from yeast? Beers have come far. That’s great, as is this.

Kriek Boon Pettinen

Cherries and sour cherries, just like a kriek should have. Generally middle of the road though, and the sourness is kinda conservative. Lambic character is similar too; present but on the reserved side. Overall a solid example of the style.

Space Race Pettinen

As the description says, a solid hazy IPA. Smooth, creamy tropical fruit juice, still maintaining the drinkability. Better standalone than paired, at least not with any heavy bbq (better with fruits & veggies). Some hop bite at the end. Balanced, quality.

45 Days IPL Pettinen

I dunno much about the longer lagering, maybe it has made bit softer, fuller body. But mostly it’s the dry-hopping that dominates, but doesn’t overrun the freshness too much. A good IPL, more of the sipper side.

#DIPA Pettinen

Heh, hashtag makes sense more than I expected; very much a DIPA. Tangerine is the foremost citrus, enough resinous bite alongside the nice malt backbone to balance the higher ABV, resulting in a a deceivingly sessionable beer. Aromatic. True to the style.

Ich Bin Raspberry Pettinen

Hallo Himbeer Berliner Weisse. Typically light wheat body and tart sourness, and on top of all that, plenty of raspberry, both jam and fruit. Maybe even a bit too much, as it slightly overruns the crispness. Bit salty too. Solid example of the style.

Henry Gose Lightly Pettinen

As close as the ”real thing” as it gets. Imho, gose being a inherently light style is a good pick for a non-alc beer. Thirst quenching, with a distinct sea salt flavour. Only the finish tells there’s no alcohol here, but even that’s subtle. Will buy again

Snow Out Pettinen

Juicy, and very much dry-hopped, american ipa, with a generally airy feel. Light, cloudy. I kinda get the name; it’s pleasantly easy like shoveling powder snow. That’s adds some personality.
